GLOVE STORY is a Sunshine Boys look at two aging boxers. "Irish" Jimmy won the middleweight crown from "The Sandman" in 1956, losing the title back in their 1958 rematch. When Johnson retired for good after their 1963 draw to join the civil rights movement, "Irish" Jimmy never forgave him for refusing one final bout that would mark a definitive end to their rivalry. Fast forward 50 years and introduce an ambitious young sportswriter ready to write their story.
