On the cover of the Observer Magazine of 15 June 1986, the boxer Barry McGuigan is holding a baby, in the style of the then recent Athena poster, L’Enfant (Man and Baby), showing the family man’s softer side (‘The champ with kid gloves’). There is a poignancy to this image because the baby was his daughter Danika, who became an accomplished actor, and who died in 2019.
