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 and, naturally, his own Fists, or to his resemblance to Russian boxing heavyweight champion Nikolai Valuev.
- Headgear is used to protect boxers from soft tissue damage, (bruises, cuts, etc), during sparring - also used in competition in amateur boxing.
- The Pugilist's Protector is so far the only hat that has parts inside a character's mouth, in this case the gumshield.
- The straps are jiggleboned and move freely.
