Nigel Benn<\/a>, in his own legendary bouts against Chris Eubank Sr. in the Nineties \u2013 a symbolic revival of that rivalry through their sons.<\/p>\nThe curved Palm Angels logo that arcs across the back, while flame motifs rise from the hem, is a visual metaphor for intensity and focus in the moments before battle.<\/p>\n
For Benn, the creative process has been deeply personal.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve had the idea for this white and blue kit for some time,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s a nod to my dad\u2019s second fight with Eubank Senior, a mark of respect that means everything to me.<\/p>\n
\u201cBoxing and fashion go hand in hand \u2013 how you present yourself is part of your identity. I\u2019m meticulous about every detail, from my training to my team to the partners I work with. Every element matters because when the moment comes, it all adds up to how you perform.\u201d<\/p>\n
Benn\u2019s sense of precision and control has made him one of British boxing\u2019s most scrutinised figures, particularly as he continues to rebuild his career after a turbulent few years, following his doping suspension being lifted by the U.K. National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP) in 2024 after his positive test for a banned substance before his cancelled fight with Eubank Jr. in October 2022.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His upcoming fight with Eubank Jr. is being billed as a chance at redemption, but it also serves as a stage for reinvention \u2013 a moment where sport and style collide.<\/p>\n
Everlast and Palm Angels have leaned into that symbolism, transforming Benn\u2019s kit into something that feels as much runway as ring.<\/p>\n
Palm Angels\u2019 head of design, Alberto Furlan, says the collaboration was about bridging those worlds.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wanted this kit to feel like armour \u2013 something that carries both history and attitude,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s about turning a fight into a moment of style and legacy. Boxing is ritualistic, almost ceremonial. We wanted to honour that while pushing it somewhere new.\u201d<\/p>\n
The collaboration extends beyond the ring with a limited-edition capsule collection available from 14 November.<\/p>\n
The line includes two T-shirts (\u00a3155 each), a hoodie (\u00a3235) and boxing gloves ($499 USD \u2013 as they\u2019re not being sold in the UK), all echoing Benn\u2019s fight-night design and carrying the flame-lit Everlast logo.<\/p>\n
The pieces will be available exclusively at Flannels, everlast.com and palmangels.com.<\/p>\n
While the pricing and limited availability position the range firmly within the luxury market, the cultural resonance lies in how it reframes boxing\u2019s visual identity \u2013 transforming functional sportswear into fashion artefact.<\/p>\n
For Palm Angels\u2019 parent company, Bluestar Alliance, the partnership signals how far luxury streetwear has permeated the world of sport.<\/p>\n
\u201cTeaming up with Conor Benn and Everlast marks a defining partnership for Palm Angels,\u201d says Joey Gabbay, CEO of Bluestar Alliance. \u201cWe stand at the intersection of global culture and local communities that inspire us. Our mission remains to champion talent, creativity, and authenticity in many forms, pushing the boundaries of worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n
Benn\u2019s choice to merge legacy, sport and self-expression through design feels emblematic of a generational shift.<\/p>\n
It seems that for younger athletes, image is not a distraction from performance but an extension of it. His kit, steeped in both familial memory and current fashion, captures that duality: a tribute to the past reframed for the present.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Your support helps us to tell the story From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":282094,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-282093","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=282093"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282093\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/282094"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=282093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=282093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=282093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
