FUTCH, EDDIE TRAINING SHIRT (FROM LARRY HOLMES AS CHAMPION)

Eddie Futch (August 9, 1911 – October 10, 2001) was a boxing trainer. Among the fighters he trained are Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, Larry Holmes, and Trevor Berbick, four of the five men to defeat Muhammad Ali. Eddie Futch was an outstanding trainer, perhaps the greatest who ever lived. He prepared fighters to perform their best at the highest levels of the sport for several decades. Champions who worked under Futch's tutelage include Joe Frazier, Larry Holmes, Riddick Bowe, Michael Spinks, Alexis Arguello, Marlon Starling, Wayne McCullough, Montell Griffin, and his first world champion fighter, Don Jordan, who was crowned world welterweight champion in 1958. Eddie Futch was the trainer of record for Joe Frazier, Riddick Bowe, and Montell Griffin when they defeated and handed future Hall of Fame fighters Muhammed Ali, Evander Holyfield, and Roy Jones, Jr., their first professional defeats. Offered here is the original training shirt used by Eddie Futch when he was working with Larry Holmes (when Holmes was world heavyweight champion).
This is an original, blue cotton, short sleeve shirt with collar. On the front left breast is a logo for, LARRY HOLMES WORLD CHAMP. No size tag, but appears small. Color remains bold as does the lettering. Clean with no holes.
