About

I am a visual artist with a wide variety of interests and champion among them is the world of boxing.

I have drawn and painted all my life and I was further educated in England and the USA in design and illustration and I decided to combine these skills with my passion for the squared circle to bring to fight fans the kind of depictions of the sport that I wanted to hang in my own home, and that those who dedicate their lives to the noble art deserve.

Beginning by painting digitally for fun and posting to an Instagram page, I received interest from fans and the fighters themselves which prompted the possibility to develop a body of work that encompasses many aspects of the rich, historical, challenging, tough, dynamic, show business, and ever hopeful aspects of a sport that ebbs and flows in popularity but is rarely rivaled by others when a participant shows the dedication, desire, and discipline to become great.

The initial collection, ‘The Face Off’ series are available as limited edition fine art prints, and depict profile portraits of contemporary fighters who held or challenged for a World Title in 2017 and is set to grow to reflect future match ups.

Follow the Pound for Pound social media accounts where new work, updates and other stuff will hit first. New collections will also be available as fine art prints and original works are also coming.

Thanks for visiting and supporting this project.

Cheers,

Alexis King – Artist
