The Italian-American son of a boxer who saw his championship dreams dashed in the Second World War, Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini inherited more than just a nickname from his fighting father – he inherited a style, an attitude, and a burning desire to undo the disappointments of the past.

As Mancini climbed boxing’s ranks in the late seventies and early eighties, the American fight public fell in love with the kid from Youngstown, Ohio. His family history, his relentless whirlwind of punches and his ability to both dish out and take massive punishment all conspired to make one of the most telegenic fighters of his era. With a furious, first-round TKO of Arturo Frias in 1982, Ray finally brought a championship belt to the Mancini family, capturing Frias's WBA Lightweight Title.Afterwards, he would say that the proudest moment of his life was hearing his father praise him in the ring following that victory.

This t-shirt is a replica of one Ray wore later that same year, in his ultimately successful preparation to defend his title on one of boxing’s greatest stages.
