Multi-award winning artist Richard Slone has revealed his latest work, a pre-fight canvas of Matthew Macklin and Sergio Martinez ahead of their eagerly anticipated clash in Madison Square Garden on Saturday. The piece depicting the St. Patrick's Day clash was commissioned by Macklin's manager Brian Peters and Slone relished the opportunity to depict the fight on canvas.
“It was an honor to paint these two gladiators in action. I wanted to capture the ferocity that a championship fight is all about. It’s going to be a great fight that continues the rich history of championship fights at Madison Square Garden.
