EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the intense world of bare-knuckle boxing in the 19th century. Known as the original form of boxing, this thrilling sport was also referred to as prizefighting or fisticuffs. Published in The Strand Magazine in 1896, this image captures the raw essence of combat and competition. In this historic snapshot, two formidable boxers face off against each other with their fists bared and ready for action. Their muscular frames exude power and determination as they prepare to engage in a fierce battle of strength and skill. These men epitomize the true spirit of fighters, showcasing their unwavering dedication to their craft. The absence of gloves highlights the sheer brutality that defined bare-knuckle boxing during this era. With no protective gear to soften blows, these brave pugilists relied solely on their resilience and technique to emerge victorious from each grueling match. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing scene frozen in time, we are transported back to a bygone era where honor, glory, and physical prowess were paramount. This photograph serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit that drove these courageous individuals who dared step into the ring. Ken Welsh's masterful capture not only immortalizes an important chapter in sporting history but also reminds us of humanity's enduring fascination with combat sports throughout centuries past.
