This 
is Ian Mac Dubhaigh, irish boxer and proud bareknuckle fighter as well. He decided to get rid of his hair due to the possibilty of getting grabbed at it and represents his former red mane by the colour of his gloves.
His fierce fighting style (he catches every single punch, eve if it has to be with his nose!) has brought him his fighter nickname:
Ian the Gryphon!
Together with his red gloves this name quickly generated stories that Ian loved to see his opponents bleed - which of course is complete nonsense, he simply punches hard so there is nothing strange about a few spilled drops of blood
