So were they grant gloves specially made for lonsdale and joe c or what'?

Peace
Joe has a sponsership deal with Lonsdale, i guess they would be Grant gloves with Lonsdale stickers on, similar to Hatton who is sponsered by Lonsdale but prefers to wear Everlast with Lonsdale stickers on.
You know I was thinking about this the other time.
Shouldn't it be illegal for Hatton or that matter any fighter to place stickers on their gloves?
This is assuming ofcourse that the stickers are just placed on their by someone and can be pealed off.
I'm saying this because if a sticker so happens to just slightly peal off and a boxer get's hit/brazed with the edge of the sticker it can cause some type of damage. The same way loose tape can.
Really interested in knowing the rule on this.
