In the spring of 2019, a mural was painted by Vera Nederlof on the corner of Boezemstraat and Boezemdwarsstraat, on a white facade. Nederlof mainly makes drawings of boxers and also draws live during boxing matches. She herself is an avid boxer and made this work out of a fascination for the sport and history of Crooswijk, the neighborhood where two important boxing schools are still located. The street fighter is a meter-high portrait of a combative boxer in a typical boxing position; slightly bent forward, right fist up to protect the face, and legs placed behind each other. He seems to challenge passing passers-by to get closer.
