Who Uses Everlast?

Everlast has star power to spare, ever since the beginning. A Mr. Jack Dempsey (you might have heard of him) wore a pair of Everlast gloves when he won the world heavyweight championship in 1919, and within the last decade, they’ve helped such fighters as Jon Jones and Randy Couture in their UFC careers. Of course, Everlast is always on the lookout for new talent; between running the New York Golden Gloves amateur boxing tournament and being the official equipment and gear sponsor of Bellator MMA, it’s a good bet that some of your favorite fighters are going to be wearing Everlast as they rise up the ranks.

Why use Everlast?

If you need to know why Everlast is worth using, I can sum it up in one word: History. Quite honestly, boxing all throughout the twentieth century grew up with Everlast gear. If you’ve watched any boxing in the past century, you’ve seen Everlast gear. If you look around any sporting goods store, you’re going to see Everlast gear. If you just crawled out from under a rock, you’ll still see Everlast’s distinct logo, and know that it’s synonymous with boxing. Sure, some companies have been around half as long and still produce a quality, sometimes superior, pair of gloves than Everlast. However, if you’re around for more than eighty years and your gloves have been on world champions in both boxing and MMA, it’s not just your product that’s good; after that long, it’s your entire line. If you’re not sure who you should go with for your first pair of workout gloves or your first pair of professional fight gloves, you can’t go wrong with a pair of Everlasts on your hands.
