Introduction to Conor Benn’s Custom-Made Gear
British boxer Conor Benn has revealed the custom-made gear he will wear in the ring for his fight against Chris Eubank Jr. In collaboration with traditional sports brand Everlast and luxury fashion house Palm Angels, Benn will unveil his fight night kit designed by Bespoke Boxing on Saturday November 15th.
The Design and Inspiration
Benn, 29, is among the first boxers to design luxury fighting clothing. Crafted entirely from printed sequins, his ensemble is a dazzling reinterpretation of boxing tradition. The color palette of deep royal blue and pure white is directly reminiscent of the colors Benn’s father Nigel Benn wore in his own legendary fights against Chris Eubank Sr. in the ’90s – a symbolic revival of that rivalry by their sons. The curving Palm Angels logo arcing across the back while flame motifs rise from the hem is a visual metaphor for intensity and focus in the moments before battle.
Personal Significance and Creative Process
For Benn, the creative process was deeply personal. “I’ve had the idea for this white and blue jersey for some time,” he says. “It’s a reference to my father’s second fight with Eubank Senior, a sign of respect that means everything to me. Boxing and fashion go hand in hand – how you present yourself is part of your identity. I pay attention to every detail, from my training to my team to the partners I work with. Every element is important because when the moment comes, everything depends on your performance.”
Career and Upcoming Fight
Benn’s sense of precision and control has made him one of British boxing’s most closely watched figures, particularly as he continues to build his career after a turbulent few years. His upcoming fight with Eubank Jr. is being touted as a chance for redemption, but also serves as a stage for reinvention – a moment when sport and style collide.
Collaboration with Everlast and Palm Angels
Everlast and Palm Angels have tapped into this symbolism, transforming Benn’s gear into something that looks as much like a runway as a ring. Palm Angels design principal Alberto Furlan says the collaboration was about connecting these worlds. “I wanted this kit to feel like a suit of armor – something that had both history and attitude,” he explained. "It’s about turning a fight into a moment of style and legacy. Boxing is ritualistic, almost ceremonial. We wanted to honor that while taking it to a new place.”
Limited-Edition Capsule Collection
The collaboration goes beyond the ring and includes a limited-edition capsule collection available starting November 14th. The line includes two t-shirts, a hoodie, and boxing gloves, all of which reflect Benn’s Fight Night design and feature the flame-lit Everlast logo. The pieces will be available exclusively at select retailers.
Cultural Resonance and Luxury Market
While the pricing and limited availability position the range firmly in the luxury market, the cultural resonance lies in how it redefines boxing’s visual identity and transforms functional sportswear into a fashion artifact. For Palm Angels’ parent company, Bluestar Alliance, the partnership is a signal of how far luxury streetwear has penetrated the world of sports.
Conclusion
Benn’s decision to combine heritage, sport, and self-expression through design seems symbolic of a generational shift. It appears that for younger athletes, the image is not a distraction from performance, but rather an extension of it. Informed by both family memories and current fashion, his gear captures this duality: a tribute to the past, reformulated for the present.
