I believe that there is a painting that hangs in the National Portrait Gallery showing the two pugilists Tom Spring (nee Winter) and John Hudson fighting on the floor of the Fives court at the Minerva Rooms, St Martin's Street, Leicester Fields (used from the 1700's as a venue for sparring contests and exhibitions).

a bunch of fives (London slang for a fist) is said to refer to this connection ..... �he gave me a bunch of fives cos I beat the guy on the fives court�
