From the first punch to the final bell, the matches were a rollercoaster of emotions. The nervous excitement of the fighters, the raw determination in their eyes, and the camaraderie that transcended competition – my lens captured it all.
As an event photographer, freezing these moments in time felt like a privilege. The night wasn't just about boxing; it was a celebration of personal growth and community spirit. From the intense training sessions to the victorious glove-raises, it was an honour to be part of an event that showcased the indomitable human spirit.
In the tapestry of my 2023 experiences, the night with Ultra White Collar Boxing shines bright – a testament to the unexpected places where strength and triumph reside.
