These photos were taken at the Eastman Boxing club in Beausejour Manitoba during a training session for upcoming bouts. The club is training a number of amateur boxers, including Kyle Gross from Whitemouth Manitoba, who recently won a spot on the 2009 Canadian Youth National Team, and will be traveling with the team to Russia. The gym is run by Kirk Fleming, who is coach and mentor to the boxers.

The club recently moved to a former restaurant and is in the process of changing over to a full time gym.

The photos are in black and white to capture some of the grittiness of the boxing world, even at the amateur level.

All comments and suggestions are welcome.
