Sugar Ray Robinson

£ 29.00

One of my favourite boxers, arguably the greatest fighter of all time. Robinson has an unbelievable record: 85 wins, 0 Losses as an amateur with 69 of those victories by knockout, 40 within the first round! Robinson turned professional in 1940 at the age of 19 and by 1951 had a professional record of 128-1-2 with 84 knockouts. He held the world welterweight title from 1946 to 1951, and won the world middleweight title also in 1951. He then retired from boxing only to come back two and a half years later and regain the middleweight title in 1955. Robinson was the first boxer in history to win a divisional world championship five times. He engaged in 200 pro bouts, and his professional career lasted nearly 26 years. I really admire Sugar Ray Robinson and this design shows him mid swing with the famous quote by Jake LaMotta of Sugar Ray, "The greatest pound for pound fighter that ever lived. "Enough said!"

Our t-shirts are unique for being wholly made with CoolMax freshFX. CoolMax is a patented fibre designed to wick perspiration and accelerate moisture evaporation, keeping wearers cooler and drier. This wicking feature of the fabric is made possible by micro channels engineered into the profile of and surface of the fibre. These channels are cleverly dimensioned to exploit the surface tension and capillary action of water. Being physical properties of the fibre, these channels endure and do not significantly diminish with wear or washing.

Antimicrobial (freshFX) treatment stops the propagation of odour producing bacteria. This is achieved by embedding silver salt crystals into the structure of the fibre. FreshFX treatment like the wicking is permanent and does not leach out with everyday use. These characteristics ensure the shirts remain cool, dry and odour free regardless of what you might do in them. Performance of the fabric is guaranteed through a certified and monitored manufacturing process.
