Clay vs Cooper T shirt

£ 29.00

Clay's first fight with Henry Cooper (18 June 1963) began to make his legend. Shots of Cooper's bloodied face and the quick thinking of Angelo Dundee kept Clay's career on track. The fight had been dramatic. In his dressing room after the fight he was visited by Jack Nilson, manager of Sonny Liston. ‘I've flown three thousand miles to tell you we're ready,' Nilson said. Cassius was to fight for the Heavyweight Title he believed was his destiny. (Angelo Dundee kept things on track by extending the split in Clay's glove which had been damaged in the fourth round. The glove replacement extended the break between the 4th and 5th rounds to Clay's clear advantage, the stakes - the Liston title fight - were very high.)

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.
