Red Showball boxing glove with a black eyepiece set into the yellow wrist cuff

Patented sportography

Boxing Glove Sportography: the photo is inside the ball

Leather-look glove with the photograph sealed inside. Competitors print the picture on the outside surface. Showball seals it inside the shell where it cannot scuff or peel — a patented design made in Austell, Georgia for 34 years.

What you are actually buying

Gyms mark progress in ways that rarely leave the building. A first sparring session, a hundred rounds, a fighter who finally made weight — the glove exists so a coach has something to hand over when a wall of names is not enough. The photograph goes inside the cuff side and the fighter looks in to see the round it came from.

First amateur bouts are the most common single order. Whether the decision went their way or not, the corner photograph from that night is the one they keep, and a glove holds it better than a phone does.

Retirement is the other half of the business here: a trainer stepping back after decades of 5 a.m. mitt work, or a fighter's last walk out. Gyms often order several at once for an anniversary night, naming each recipient.

The shell is a display glove with a leather-look finish and laced cuff, weighted to feel like equipment rather than a novelty. The eyepiece is set into the palm side, and the cuff panel takes a name and date.
