STONEBRIDGE BOXING CLUB
Photography
Stonebridge Boxing Club is based in northwest London. The portraits are made in the brief moments between drills, as members move from one training station to the next. They capture the work as it happens, without pause or performance.
The gym is uncompromising. Windows shut, heating high, the space becomes a furnace. Training is repetitive and intense. This isn’t recreational sport. Commitment is the entry price.
The club exists to keep young people away from gun and knife crime by offering structure, discipline, and somewhere to commit to. Only those prepared to endure stay.
Members come from every background. The club isn’t built around winning, but around what the work produces. Turn up enough times and behaviour tightens, focus sharpens, responsibility follows. What begins as training carries weight beyond the gym.
