What is the name of the Hellenistic bronze statue of a seated boxer found in Rome?

The Hellenistic bronze statue of a seated boxer found in Rome is called Boxer at Rest.

Also known as the Terme Boxer, Seated Boxer, or Boxer of the Quirinal, the sculpture portrays a battered athlete pausing after a fight. His swollen face, broken nose, bruised body, and alert expression show the Hellenistic period’s interest in realism, emotion, and individual experience rather than idealized youthful perfection.

The statue was excavated in Rome in 1885, on the Quirinal Hill, and is now displayed in the Palazzo Massimo alle Terme, part of the Museo Nazionale Romano. It is an original Greek bronze, not a Roman marble copy—an especially valuable distinction because ancient bronze statues were frequently melted down and reused.

A common mix-up is with the Discobolus, which shows an idealized athlete preparing to throw a discus. The Dying Gaul is also Hellenistic in style, but it depicts a fallen Galatian warrior rather than a seated boxer.
