We're into the third round of Kong vs Grape Ape (cheers again to our intrepid cameraman, @Thymilph), and POW! The youngster lands a devastating uppercut, and King Kong is down! What an upset!

Ladies and gents, your new monsterweight champ: The Great Grape Ape! #BoxingGorillaDay

Round two of the King Kong vs Grape Ape match, and the Kongster is fighting back, sending his younger opponent reeling with an almighty left hook to the jaw. THOOM! (Footage grabbed at great personal risk by the frankly heroic @Thymilph.) #BoxingGorillaDay

Next on tonight's fight card is a rematch between @Meaninglez's Luz (on the left) and @CatchShiroCX's Loki – and this time round, as you can see in this footage captured by the splendid @SuperCrazyHyena, it looks like Loki has the upper fist. SLAM! #BoxingGorillaDay

Now, as is traditional during the latter stages of Boxing Gorilla Day, it's time to see who'll be fighting in our main events. First, coming to us from the brilliant @BobbyLontra, it's a mega-heavyweight match between Apeman (on the left) and Chimp Ion! BIFF! #BoxingGorillaDay

Here's a fab thing; Jeff Martin (AKA @HEATcomic), the creator of ace comic Hell Inc, was kind enough to draw me as an employee of the infernal company as a special Kickstarter bonus. And look what he gave me as my demonic familiar! Does this man know me or what? #BoxingGorillaDay

Taking a more realistic approach, Instagrammer TheCLTR gives us the wonderfully-named Furious George. Presumably he appears in books with titles like "Furious George Knocks A Guy The Hell Out." #BoxingGorillaDay https://t.co/HaIlJq5bwd

A great many boxing gorillas are also to be found hanging around on T-shirts looking all menacing, like this trio of snarly boys. #BoxingGorillaDay

Boxing gorillas seem to be popular mascots for gyms and sports clubs. Here are a couple more I've encountered during my journeys down the InformationSuperDualCarriageway. #BoxingGorillaDay

The simian mascot of New Zealand online shopping company Mighty Ape is often to be found in punchy mood, especially when there's a Boxing Day sale on. Hopefully he doesn't go around slugging the customers... #BoxingGorillaDay

As it's an especially bright and sunny Boxing Gorilla Day, let's begin with this splendidly summery celebrity bout drawn by the awesome @SteveNazarArt, with his super-cool surfer dude Thrilla Gorilla taking on The Jungle Book's King Louie in a bash at the beach! #BoxingGorillaDay
