John, these portraits are great. Thanks.
Boxers in portrait still alive and kicking.

I feel I get a real insight into the personalities of the sitters. Whoever says photography doesn’t show character like a painting can, needs to see these photos!

The sparkling light in the eyes of the boxers shows the spirit that they all still clearly have. Will there be an exhibiton at the Ex-Boxers Association? It would be fantastic to see them printed in all their glory!
