As reported some time ago the Klichko brothers, who between them hold four of the five versions of the world heavyweight boxing title, donated to SAKA two pairs of signed sparring gloves. We have decided to sell these to the highest bidder, rather than use them as prizes in our Grand Draw, because we can find another prize for the draw, resulting in the proceeds for the gloves raising extra revenue.
We did try E-Bay, though unsuccessfully. In hindsight we did place too high a reserve price on them. We have contacted all the companies selling memorabilia and one of the company directors wants the gloves for his own private collection. He has offered us £150 for two pairs. Before we agree to a sale, we want to advise all members of the situation and to the boxing fans amongst us, giving them the first opportunity to purchase the gloves.
If anyone is interested, would they please notify Mike Handcock by 7th June 2010.
Brian Dobson, Publicity Officer
