I had always followed boxing through the available media but was introduced into the inner sanctum of boxing through a chance meeting with Brian Hughes's son, Damian and have now been working within boxing since the summer of 08. In this short time I have witnessed many exhaustive training sessions and tremendous fights at both amateur and professional levels and have come to realise there is a lot more to boxing than the few fighters that manage to gain national press coverage such as Ricky, Amir, Joe and Carl ...

Boxing photography is the most exciting sport I have covered, giving me the access and freedom that is unheard of in other professional sports. The ability to network amongst the key people, obtain press passes for title and non-title fights together with still having the ability to produce creative images is what drives me forward. As with any sports photography I still have to compete with the big agencies such as Action Images and Getty but there is plenty of opportunity to have my work viewed and published.

Ringside is always an exciting and privileged position to be at when the crowd is roaring for their hero and the bell rings for the 1st round. No more than 6-8 photographers will work side by side, no matter how big or small the event maybe.
