Description

Physical Description:

Printed in black, a figure visible from the waist down steps into a boxing ring wearing shorts and boxing gloves, a much smaller figure also wearing boxing gloves in the center of the ring. Two figures watch from outside the ring, both smoking cigars, one wearing a baseball cap and the other wearing a fur coat and fur hat with a star on it and grabbing at the ropes of the ring. The boxing ring sits on what appears to be Earth, with continents visible beneath.
