Juxtaposing athletic skill and the desire for victory against corruption and brutality, Larry Fink has documented the boxing ring from 1989-1996, in this image. Located in Philadelphia, many of Fink's images are taken at the Blue Horizon Arena purported to be the best and largest venue by Sports Illustrated and Ring Magazine. However, it closed its doors in 2010 due to financial hardships. Image details a lone boxer standing at the center wearing a sleevless hoodie flanked by various figures. Dated with title and AP on reverse.
