Olympic boxing began in the United States
Boxing entered the Olympic programme at the 1904 St Louis Games. With no foreign entrants making the trip, every boxer in the draw was American, and one man, Oliver Kirk, won two weight classes in the same Games — still the only case.
The country has since produced more Olympic boxing champions than any other, from Floyd Patterson to Cassius Clay, from Sugar Ray Leonard to Claressa Shields.
What you see
The ground is an American flag painted on horizontal wooden boards, the paint flaking, the reds gone towards burgundy and the whites towards cream. The stars fill the left panel.
A pair of patinated brown leather gloves rests one against the other across the two left panels, pale laces showing, propped against the boards. The three right-hand panels show only the stripes. From 3 m / 10 ft you see a flag; from 1 m / 3 ft the wood fibres and the cracking in the leather come through.
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.
How long has boxing been an Olympic sport?
Since the 1904 St Louis Games, where every entrant was American and Oliver Kirk won two weight classes in the same Games — still the only time it has happened.
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.
