This is my stepson.
He is a gentle soul and this is out of character for him.

If that's all make up it looks very good. In terms of the picture overall, I like the idea, but the whole image comes over as just a little too dark on my screen.

It might have been interesting to try and get him to do something with his hands - hold a trophy, or just have his gloves up in a defensive posture - to try and build more of a story around the image. At the moment he is just standing, but I think (for me at least) when people think of a Boxer, they think of movement, of purpose, of winners and losers (perhaps), and your lad doesn't visually seem to quite fit into any of these categories.

Is he battered because he lost ? or are they scars picked up on his way to victory ?

The only other small issue is that with the chin strap blending into the background it effectively seperates his head from his body :- )

All that said, he looks the part, the lightings good, and the make-ups great.
