Fight With Insight

Project overview

A boxing project for young offenders which aims to use their violence and aggression as the means to help them make alternative and positive decisions about their future.

Rules in boxing parallel those in life: respect for others, abiding by the referee's decisions, accepting the judge's verdict and when the fight is over, the need to move on. The young people take part in boxing classes at The Box Office, a gym in Johannesburg's Southern Suburbs Recreation Centre, run by renowned promoter Anton Gilmore.
