Superb collection of black fighters of the early days and beyond. Includes such ring toughs as Wallace "Bud" Smith, Ike Williams, Sandy Sandler, Tiger Flowers, Dick Tiger, Benny "Kid" Paret, and Chalky Wright. One is more brilliant than the next. All these oils are either on canvas or board. Ring Mundial Oil-On-Canvas Original Cover Art Spectacular oil paintings were used for the cover of this, the preeminent Mexican boxing magazine of the last few decades: Ring Mundial. These one-of-a-kind paintings which are mostly oil-on-canvas (they were then mounted on artist's board) each measures about 20x15". They are in EX-MT condition and were obtained from the daughter of Valente Perez, the sportsman-entrepreneur-artist who published the magazine but also did these paintings! A wonderful collection.
