? Yo, Adrian! Today marks 42 years since the premiere of the boxing movie #Rocky. Boxing, well known in antiquity, was revived in England in the 18th century and afforded entertainment for all classes of society. Shown here is British prize-fighter Richard Humphreys, who was known as “the Gentleman Boxer” for his elegant fighting style. This portrait must have been commissioned by his manager Wilson Braddyll in advance of a well-publicized #boxing match against Daniel Mendoza, which was to take place on January 9, 1788.
