World champion at forty-nine
Bernard Hopkins held the world middleweight title for ten years, with twenty consecutive defences, a divisional record. He then moved up to light heavyweight.
On 19 April 2014, at 49, he beat Beibut Shumenov and became the oldest boxer ever to win a world title. He had started boxing in prison, where he spent five years before turning professional.
What you see
Hopkins is framed to mid thigh on the centre panel, shaved head, right arm extended up and to the left, a pale glove at the end of it. He wears burgundy trunks with a wide gold waistband and a round badge on the thigh.
The ground is a smoky midnight blue, with dark coils and a few flecks in suspension. The name is in metallic blue capitals: BERNARD left, HOPKINS right. From 3 m / 10 ft you see a pale figure on deep blue; from 1 m / 3 ft the gold waistband and the badge separate.
Technical specifications
How to hang a 5 panel canvas
The five panels go side by side: the image is continuous and reassembles in one piece. Put up the centrepanel first, its middle 145 cm / 57 in from the floor, then add the panels in pairs eitherside, checking the level at each pair. A paper template on the wall before drilling saves redoing the holes.
The width rule is the same as for a single canvas: the set covers about two thirds of the width ofthe furniture below it. The size chart by wall type gives the full size-to-placement table.

Frequently asked questions
What size 5 piece canvas should I choose?
The five panels are hung side by side, so what counts is the total width — 50, 100, 150 or 200 cm / 20, 39, 59 or 79 in depending on the grid — not the size of a single panel. Allow the 20 × 35 grid above a chest of drawers, the 30 × 40 grid above a three-seater sofa, and the 40 × 60 grid on a clear wall over three metres / 10 ft.
How do I hang a canvas in 5 parts?
Start with the centre panel, its middle 145 cm / 57 in from the floor, then add the panels in pairs either side, checking the level at each pair. A paper template on the wall before drilling saves redoing the holes.
Does it arrive ready to hang?
Two options in the selector. Without frame: the panels ship rolled in a protective tube with a white border, to be mounted on stretchers. With frame: they arrive already mounted on wooden stretchers, ready to hang. The five stretcher kit covers the panels sold on their own.
What record does Bernard Hopkins hold?
The oldest boxer to win a world title, at 49, beating Beibut Shumenov on 19 April 2014. He also holds the middleweight record of twenty consecutive title defences over ten years.
Are the 5 panels sold together?
Yes. The price covers the five panels, and the grid chosen applies to the set: the panels are not sold separately and ship together.
How do I clean a canvas print?
A dry microfibre cloth handles almost everything. For a mark that stays, use a barely damp cloth with no detergent, wiping across the surface. No abrasive sponge, no glass cleaner.
