Don't have a gorilla (or other ape) OC? Fear not! You can still enter: just do the necessary with a ref of your favoured character, and if you get selected in the raffle I shall ape-ify your OC specially for the occasion. Good luck, all! #BoxingGorillaDay
Since Boxing Gorilla Day (25 and 26 July; I know that's two days, just roll with it) is getting a reboot for 2026, I'm doing a two-character art raffle! Like, Repost and Reply to this post with a ref of your gorilla (or other ape) OC, and they could appear in a piccy like these! #BoxingGorillaDay
And that, chums, marks the end of Boxing Gorilla Day 2025 (both of them), save for the sharing of further groovy things that other persons have kindly posted, which I'll get to in a wee while. MASSIVE thanks to everybody who helped to celebrate the 10th event! #BoxingGorillaDay

But wait! We're not done yet. Before Boxing Gorilla Day 2025 comes to an end, we have a lovely story to share with you featuring words by me and fab artwork by the remarkably talented @Nanothehedgehog. So, gather round for a tale entitled: Through The Ringers. #BoxingGorillaDay
Ladies and gentlebeasts, please join Ramarilla in offering your congratulations to our King Of The Ring: Klash Of The Kaijus champion, the coolest primal rager of them all: Blizzard! Give that big ape a big hand! Art by Alan Stewart! instagram.com/artofalan #BoxingGorillaDay #KOTRKOTK
Ramarilla has Blizzard on the ropes in rounds four and five, knocking him down twice. But Blizzard won't quit! A killer combo puts him back in the game in round six, and OH! What an uppercut! It's all over! Art by Alan Stewart! instagram.com/artofalan #BoxingGorillaDay #KOTRKOTK
Our concluding Klash Of The Kaijus fight is a wince-inducing war right from the start! Blizzard dominates the first two rounds, but Ramarilla comes back strong in the third, and OOH! Ref, that can't be legal! Art by Alan Stewart! instagram.com/artofalan #BoxingGorillaDay #KOTRKOTK
Finally, the moment has arrived to discover which of our two remaining Klash Of The Kaijus contestants will claim the King Of The Ring belt for 2025 – Ramarilla or Blizzard. Let's go live to the Boxing Gorilla Day Ultradome for all the giant primate-punching action! #BoxingGorillaDay #KOTRKOTK
"Monkeywrench" Jim Simyan is back to compete in our last exhibition fight for Boxing Gorilla Day 2025, and it's another rematch – a re-taped fist match, that is, against punchy pooch Brutus (an OC of Procubwrestler on the Twit site), with action-packed art by @gotry7.bsky.social! #BoxingGorillaDay
Well, now we know who our competitors will be for the Klash Of The Kaijus title fight – Blizzard and Ramarilla! These two wild and woolly warriors will undoubtedly give us a slobberknocker for the ages, right after our final exhibition bout! #BoxingGorillaDay #KOTRKOTK
True to form, Ramarilla and Gorimondo's semi-final scrap in Natural Plains' mall district is a tumultuous affair, coming to a booming end in round 11 when a right cross like a battering ram knocks Gorimondo out cold. SLAM! Fight pic by @chocofox.bsky.social! #BoxingGorillaDay #KOTRKOTK
While Donkey Kong has his adventure with Pauline it looks like Funky is adventuring in the underground with his own musical kid. They meet and decide to test their newfound forms in a fisticuff match for #boxinggorilladay !
It's time for the penultimate fight in King Of The Ring: Klash Of The Kaijus, with Ramarilla taking on Gorimondo, and it promises to be a riotous slugfest between two particularly pugnacious primate titans. Things are gonna get LOUD, folks! #BoxingGorillaDay #KOTRKOTK
Actually, this interaction between my extraterrestrial primate prizefighter Chimp Ion (the green guy) and @captaingerbear.bsky.social's burly apebloke Regulus is a training mishap rather than an exhibition fight, but the end result is much the same. Art by the good Captain himself! #BoxingGorillaDay
This triumph for Blizzard puts him in contention to be crowned King Of The Ring in our Klash Of The Kaijus contest! His rival for the title will be determined by the upcoming bout between Ramarilla and Gorimondo – right after our next exhibition match! #BoxingGorillaDay #KOTRKOTK
Kong and Blizzard's king-sized slugfest in Sheep Meadow, Central Park, is a long and gruelling one – and in something of an upset, as the sun begins to set towards the end of round 10, a savage left from The Big B sees Kong KO'd! Fight pic by @hogswild.bsky.social! #BoxingGorillaDay #KOTRKOTK
We now come to our first semi-final fight in King Of The Ring: Klash Of The Kaijus, and it's a hotly-anticipated bout between Kong and Blizzard! Both gargantuan gorillas have been worshipped as gods in their time, but who's going to get the glory here? #BoxingGorillaDay #KOTRKOTK
So, given that this years the tenth 'round for Boxing Gorilla day, seemed only appropriate to celebrate with my original 4 punching primates...
Slugger, Bruiser, Boogruk & Chase...many more were to follow, but it started with these guys!

Transmission is resumed on Boxing Gorilla Day Two 2025 with this cracking exhibition match captured in superbly sun-drenched style by @omariape.bsky.social. It's Thrilla Gorilla vs Funky Kong in The Battle Of The Beach Bums! Clearly they've both been at the beer this summer... #BoxingGorillaDay
...and to go even FURTHER back into Bozrilla Vs Big Daddy boxing battle, here's some 'old' pages that feature the progression of the fight in order.
still can't believe I didn't post these here, spent so much time on these dang things over the years😆
#BoxingGorillaDay
🥊🦍🥊
So it occurred to me, the many Bozrilla VS Big Daddy pics I've done for #BoxingGorillaDay, I've never actually posted them here...
As well, while digging for all the finished works, it astounds me for every one pic I finished there's like...at least 10 I didn't for this series.😅
🥊🦍🥊
