The essentials: a boxer seen from behind in a ring, hands wrapped, facing hooded figures, in black and gold. 5 panel polyptych, 4 size grids, from 50 to 200 cm / 20 to 79 in of total width. From €29 to €149 depending on size and framing.
Why it is called a ring when it is square
In eighteenth century England, fights were held inside a circle drawn on the ground and held open by the spectators themselves — which is where the word ring comes from.
In 1743, Jack Broughton imposed a marked-out area and ropes. The square took over later for reasons of construction, but the name stayed. A competition ring today measures between 4.90 and 6.10 m / 16 and 20 ft a side inside the ropes.
What you see
A bare chested man, seen from behind, fills the centre panel: broad back, dark trousers, a pale wrap around the right hand hanging at his side. He stands in a ring, the ropes lit in gold behind him.
On the left panel, two hooded figures stand in the opposite corner. The rest is close to black. From 3 m / 10 ft you see a lit back against darkness; from 1 m / 3 ft the ropes and the two figures 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 second 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.
Why is it called a ring when it is square?
Because eighteenth century fights were held inside a circle drawn on the ground, held open by the crowd. Jack Broughton introduced a marked area and ropes in 1743; the square came later for practical reasons and the name stuck.
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.
