Referee Tony Weeks says he might donate one of boxing’s most famous officiating shirts to the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

“That was the worst cut that I ever seen, that I’ve been involved with,” admitted Weeks, in a long ranging interview on the Boxing Life Stories podcast. “It was right down the middle of his head. The good thing about it, if you will, was that because it was in the middle of his head the blood was running down the sides of his nose and not getting in his eye but it was a gruesome cut.”
Did he wash the shirt?
“No. I tried to wash a little bit off after the fight but the blood is still there and I’ve still got it. Hopefully I can donate it here
