World Champ

A boxing-themed playfield photographed in situ, shot straight down through the glass with the wooden cabinet side rails and two black rubber-tipped flippers visible at the bottom and red-painted legs below. The artwork is a hand-painted 1970s-style boxing scene: a cream-and-tan boxing ring canvas runs across the middle, ringed by a blue-walled arena packed with a small crowd of heads. In the ring a shirtless boxer in red trunks leans forward on the left and another bare-chested fighter in pale trunks stands at right, with a man in a dark suit and white shirt between them as referee. Behind them a figure in blue trunks is slumped on the canvas. Flanking the ring are large yellow shield panels reading 100,000 WHEN LIT, and the lower corners carry more 100,000 WHEN LIT plates. Above the ring the centre of the playfield is crowded with plastics: three or four round pop-bumper caps with red and cream domed tops, glowing yellow inserts, and pale disc bumpers. Lettering is heavy red-and-black display type: SPECIAL WHEN LIT on a cream plaque, 10 ROUNDS in a bold arc, END OF ROUND in a red bar, KNOCKDOWNS under two numbered discs 1 and 2, and a fan of numbered circles 1 through 10. A grinning clown with white face, red nose, ruffled collar and red trousers covered in yellow polka dots stands at lower right beside a chrome ball trough. Dominant colours are red, yellow, cream, and blue.

A painted backglass in a bright mid-century sporting style, dominated by a huge arched banner across the top reading WORLD CHAMP in big white block capitals with heavy black outline, split by a small cursive mark at the apex, set against a red upper field and a deep blue sky. Beneath it a yellow ribbon arc carries a red cursive script word I cannot resolve, and a second arc below shows a row of white discs each holding a number 1 through 7. Fan-shaped score panels radiate around the middle: 400 000 on a white wedge, 300 000 on a red wedge to the left, 500 000 and 600 000 in blue-bordered panels above centre, 700 000 on a white wedge to the right, with 600 000 and 100 000 vertical wedges down the left edge and 800 000 and 900 000 vertical wedges down the right edge. The centre scene shows a bare-chested boxer in red trunks and red gloves standing upright with fists raised, facing a man in a yellow raincoat, white shirt and blue trousers who leans back with one arm flung wide in alarm. On the pale blue floor at lower right a second boxer in dark trunks and a blue cap lies sprawled, propped on one elbow. Behind them a striped-canopy grandstand in blue and white is packed with small multicoloured spectators, and a white domed arena building sits centre-back. Along the bottom a row of red-ringed scoring lamps reads 00 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 on white discs, each with a small red bat-shaped symbol beneath, and the word THOUSANDS curves above them in yellow letters with blue outline.
