You might be wondering how a small swimsuit company from the Bronx, grew to be one of the best known names in boxing. Boxing and swimming just do not seem like a likely couple. It was because of one fighter, by the name of Jack Dempsey.
He approached Everlast and asked them if they could make him some boxing equipment that would last longer. His current equipment just was not holding up to the abuse that a boxer in training could dish out. Punch after punch, hard blow after hard blow made his poorly designed equipment deteriorate very quickly. Soon Everlast was on the job and making equipment for Jack Dempsey. Jack ended up winning the world's heavy weight championship in 1919. Can you guess who made the gloves he was wearing? If you guessed Everlast, then you are correct. Winning this championship with those gloves boosted Jack Dempsey and the Everlast name into the spotlight. The rest is history.
