See his talk with about the exhibition at the link in bio.

“I began these works a couple years ago after what I perceived as an erasure of Black Culture. That includes Literature, History, and the Arts. I called them “Boxing Portraits” because of their fight for respect and remembrance in their own times and ours. I started them as regular portraits with added evidence of physical abuse to represent the professional and systemic abuse they dealt with. In some cases there were source images where they were really beaten up—Miles Davis, Ralph Ellison (from a mugshot), and Amiri Baraka. Some were actually boxers like Jersey Joe Walcott. “
