Sugar Ray Robinson's trainer, Harry Wiley, was once an up-and-coming boxer, winning his first three fights before being tragically hit by a taxi, ending his career in the ring... well, sort of. From that point forward, the New York City native still hung around gyms, helping other fighters, including future Hall of Famer Sugar Ray Robinson. Up for auction is this navy, wool jacket which features a zip-up front, with "Harry Wiley" embroidered on the right breast, while the back reads: "Ray Robinson." Comes with an LOA from Sugar Ray Robinson II, stating it was in his family until it was sold to Craig Hamilton in 1999.
