When seeing the photo of topless stripper Milana Dravnel
wearing the boxing gloves, the question that who invented the boxing glove just popped up in my mind. Thanks to an article on Guardian, apparently I was answered.
The modern boxing glove was invented in 1743, the brainchild of Englishman Jack Broughton. But Broughton's gloves, or mufflers as they were then known, were at the time only used for sparring; Broughton used to instruct men in self-defence, at an arena he erected on the Tottenham Court Road, and he used his mufflers to 'effectively secure pupils from the inconvenience of black eyes, broken noses and bloody jaws'.
I used Milana Dravnel's picture because these days, she was involved in a photo scandal of boxing legend, six-times world champion Oscar De La Hoya who allegedly dressed as a woman. Milana first revealed that he loves to float like a butterfly and sing like a SHE during kinky sex games, but later confessed she lied about taking the snapshots. Milina Dravnel, the stripper from Scores who sold the infamous Oscar De La Hoya pictures at a price of $70000 to X17 felt she was used.
