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, PA, the Blue Horizon Arena was known as the best and largest venue by Sports Illustrated and Ring Magazine. However, it closed its doors in 2010 due to financial hardships. This image includes a referee standing in the ring leaning on the ring ropes. Signed, dated, titled with AP on reverse.
