Joseph Louis Barrow (May 13, 1914 – April 12, 1981), known professionally as Joe Louis, was an American professional boxer who competed from 1934 to 1951. He reigned as the world heavyweight champion from 1937 to 1949, and is considered to be one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time. Nicknamed the Brown Bomber, Louis’ championship reign lasted 140 consecutive months, during which he participated in 26 championship fights. The 27th fight, against Ezzard Charles in 1950, was a challenge for Charles’ heavyweight title and so is not included in Louis’ reign. He was victorious in 25 consecutive title defenses. In 2005, Louis was ranked as the best heavyweight of all time by the International Boxing Research Organization, and was ranked number one on The Ring magazine’s list of the “100 greatest punchers of all time”. Louis had the longest single reign as champion of any heavyweight boxer in history.

Here are some similar items we have sold in the past at Nate D. Sanders Auctions:
Scarce pair of boxing gloves, signed and used by Muhammad Ali (then Cassius Clay) to train for his second professional fight against Herb Siler in 1960. As an 18 year old, Clay signs and dates the left glove, ”From / Cassius Marcellus Clay / Dec. 19-60”, one week before he bested Siler in a TKO to advance his burgeoning boxing career. The long ink signature measures nearly 5” long and 1.5” tall and is unusual in that it includes his middle name, Marcellus. On the right glove is written in white, ”CASSIUS CLAY USED IN TRAINING HERB SILER 1960” and inside the cuff of both gloves is written ”C.C.” for identification purposes at the gym. These training gloves come with an LOA from noted Muhammad Ali collector Pete Morkovin who states that they were once part of the Columbia Street Gym Collection in Louisville, Kentucky. The gym was run by Joe Martin, the policeman who discovered Cassius Clay and introduced him to boxing after Clay had his bicycle stolen as a youth. Red leather boxing gloves by Spartan Sporting Goods Manufacturing Company include the original white laces. The gloves show heavy use, but remain in very good condition with no tears. Clay’s signature is strong, but lacks some contrast against the red leather. Among the earliest gloves attributed to Cassius Clay and scarce as signed. Sold for $15,000.
