Forgets to Wear Tights As He Makes Ring Debut. TACOMA, WASH., Dec. 9 Jeff Christman, a boxing student, became,. so excited over his professional debut Thursday night at Spanaway Athletic club that he forgot to put on his tights. He hopped into the. ring wearing a brilliantly colored bathrobe. When the signal came for the bout to start Jeff flung off the robe, and was about the most embarrassed boxer who ever rubbed resin on his shoes. He stood in the ring for one instant adorned in nothing but a pair of boxing gloves, then made a mad dash for his dressing room.
