Who is the bareknuckle man?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but who the hell is that champion chap who accompanies the BKP logo. He looks like he should be lifting dumbells..

Where did he come from, what is his name, what does he do?

I really like the logo / brand image. It's very different from the usual branding of guitar products, and therefore memorable.

In agree with Brainzy- looks totally classy on the box that the pups come in. There was a famous fighter in Victorian times- Mendoza I think his name was-I wonder if it is he?

You're right, very similar to John -

With the new website, will John stand the test of time...

According to my family, my great great grandfather used to do bare knuckle boxing in a pub in Camden called the Old Mother Red Cap. It's called the Worlds End now. So it could be him!  :wink:
