Both of these features provide safety during use of the toy. The toy includes a set of boxing gloves attached by sleeves, potentially permanently, to the garment. The sleeves are adjustable in length to fit the user. The face on the front of the garment provides additional entertainment during use of the garment, thus encouraging full enjoyment of both safety features of the invention. This is accomplished by providing the padding in the front of the garment, at the very location where the face is provided on the garment. The face is provided in the torso area, thus reducing the tendency to strike the opponent in the head, but rather encouraging blows directed to the heavily padded decoy face provided on the torso. Sound producing device may also be provided in the padded portion for producing sound when the padded portion is struck by the opponent. | |
