BVB X TIBBS BOXING SHORTS

We are honoured to present the BVB x TIBBS BOXING collaboration shorts. These shorts are crafted in 100% loopback cotton paying homage to classic boxing sportswear in navy colour-way. The Tibbs name occupies a special place in British boxing stretching back to the 1960's when Jimmy Tibbs turned pro in 1966 (graphic on t-shirt). Campaigning at middle and light-heavyweight he would fight 9 times in 1966, including on the undercard of Ali vs Cooper, but it would be as a trainer that he would become truly iconic, training fighters including but not limited to; Frank Bruno, Barry McGuigan, Lloyd Honeyghan, Michael Watson and Nigel Benn. His son Mark Tibbs, following in his fathers footseps from pro fighter (lightweight) to elite boxing trainer in his own right, has trained the likes of Frank Buglioni, Charlie Duffield, Dillian Whyte, Richard Riakporhe, Billy Joe Saunders and recently guided Ebanie Bridges to the IBF Bantamweight World Title. Along with Ebanie Mark's current stable of fighters include hot prospects Johnny Fisher, John Hedges and Tommy Fletcher. 100% loopback cotton Drawcord tipped red Embroidered British Vintage Boxing logo Printed Tibbs Boxing 1966
