I'm not sure I would model the actual body...
but I would advise you to draw at least a side view and a front view to use as backdrops. A nice sideeffect of drawing these is that you will familiarize with the shapes and volumes.

Then I would start building him bit by bit with mostly SubDs, adding detail only once everything is roughed in and you triple-checked the proportions.

For modeling I rarely use boxmodeling or poly-by-poly modeling alone, rather a sort of hybrid method.
