What is special about this collection is that the works of art, without exception originals, are not only artistically convincing, but also have a contemporary historical relevance, depicting great historical fights or fighters that inspired a generation. Just think of the 1930s, for example, when Joe Louis and Max Schmeling boxed while millions of people followed the fights on the radio. Most of the original artworks were also featured on the front pages of international boxing magazines or the official fight programs. These artworks thus not only tell a story, but are themselves a piece of contemporary history.
