Red right-handed boxing glove signed on the top in black felt tip, "N. Mandela, 9.6.2001." In fine condition.
Nelson Mandela loved boxing as a young man and trained regularly, though he said he was drawn more to the discipline than to violence. In his autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom, Mandela reflected: 'I did not enjoy the violence of boxing so much as the science of it. I was intrigued by how one moved one's body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat, how one paced oneself over a match…Boxing is egalitarian. In the ring, rank, age, colour and wealth are irrelevant.'
