Juxtaposing athletic skill and the desire for victory against corruption and brutality, Larry Fink has documented the boxing ring from 1989-1996. Located in Philadelphia, many of Fink's images are taken at the Blue Horizon Arena purported to be the largest and best venue by Sports Illustrated and Ring Magazine.
