Trivia
- The term 'pugilist' is synonymous with 'fist-fighter' and is likely a reference to the Heavy's preferred melee weapons of choice: the Killing Gloves of Boxing or the Gloves of Running Urgently and, naturally, his own Fists.
- This type of headgear is used to protect boxers from soft tissue damage (bruises, cuts, etc) during sparring and is also used in competitive amateur boxing.
