British Boxer Conor Benn has revealed the special kit he will wear in the ring for his fight against Chris Eubank Jr.
In collaboration with heritage sports brand Everlast and luxury fashion house Palm Angeles, Ben will debut his fight-night kit, designed by Bespoke Boxing, on Saturday 15 November.
Ben, 29, is one of the first boxers to design luxury fight wear. His outfit, dressed entirely in printed paillettes, is a dazzling reinterpretation of boxing tradition.
Its deep royal blue and pure white palette nods directly to the colors worn by Ben’s father, Nigel Bennin his own famous bouts against Chris Eubank Sr. in the nineties – a symbolic revival of that rivalry through his sons.
The curved Palm Angels logo that curves across the back, while flame shapes rise from the hem, is a visual metaphor for the intensity and focus in the moments before battle.
For Ben, the creative process has been extremely personal.
“I had the idea of this white and blue kit in my mind for a long time,” he says. “It’s a symbol of my father’s second fight with Eubank Sr., a symbol of respect which means everything to me.
“Boxing and fashion go hand in hand – how you present yourself is part of your identity. I am meticulous about every detail, from my training to my team and the partners I work with. Every element matters because when the time comes, it all depends on how you perform.”
Benn’s sense of precision and control has made him one of British boxing’s most scrutinized figures, especially as he continues to rebuild his career after a turbulent few years, having had his doping suspension lifted by the UK National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP) in 2024 after testing positive for a banned substance ahead of his canceled fight with Eubank Jr in October 2022.
His upcoming fight with Eubank Jr. is being seen as an opportunity for redemption, but it also serves as a platform for reinvention – a moment where sport and style collide.
Everlast and Palm Angels have leaned into that symbolism, turning Ben’s kit into something that has the same runway feel as the rings.
Alberto Furlan, head of design at Palm Angeles, says this collaboration was about bridging those worlds.
“I wanted this kit to feel like 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 by taking it somewhere new.”
The collaboration extends beyond the ring with a limited-edition capsule collection available starting November 14th.
The line includes two T-shirts (£155 each), a hoodie (£235) and boxing gloves ($499 USD – as they’re not being sold in the UK), all echoing Ben’s fight-night design and carrying the flame-lit Everlast logo.
The pieces will be available exclusively at Flannels, everlast.com and palmangels.com.
While the pricing and limited availability place the range firmly within the luxury market, the cultural resonance lies in how it reasserts boxing’s visual identity – transforming functional sportswear into fashion artefacts.
For BlueStar Alliance, parent company of the Palm Angels, this partnership signals how far luxury streetwear has penetrated the world of sports.
“Teaming up with Connor Bain and Everest marks a defining partnership for Palm Angels,” says Joey Gabay, CEO of Bluestar Alliance. “We stand at the intersection of global culture and the local communities that inspire us. Our mission is to support talent, creativity and authenticity in its many forms while pushing boundaries around the world.”
Ben’s choice to combine heritage, sport and self-expression through design seems emblematic of a generational shift.
It seems that for young athletes, image is not a distraction from performance but an extension of it. His kit, steeped in both family memory and current fashion, captures that duality: a tribute to the past for the present.
