This is your ONE chance to see an ancient boxer up close with your own eyes.
This EXTREMELY lifelike statue captures the image of an Ancient Greek boxer:
He has the same cauliflower ear, facial scar tissue, broken nose and muscled build seen in today’s fighters.
The figure has ancient boxing gloves known as ‘cestus’ and wears the beard common of ancient fighters.
The statue even displays Morton’s Toe, a genetic condition that leads to an overly short big toe, leading to the possibility that it’s a portrait of a real fighter.
