A boxing gym holds a moment of concentration as a fighter drives one glove into a leather punching bag. His other glove guards his jaw, and his feet remain planted across the worn wooden floor. Black-and-white photography gives the muscles, satin shorts and scuffed leather distinct surfaces without competing colors.

Boxing ring ropes cross the foreground, while the raised ring and a bench of spare gloves fill the background. Light from the high roof picks out sweat and the folds of the dark tank top. The skylit gym feels spacious and well used, with brick walls and simple training diagrams keeping the action inside a recognizable working place.
