Boxing in the GTA

United Promotions Boxing put on another show at the Hershey Centre Saturday night. I got to see lots of friends there including two of them facing off in the ring and fighting to a draw. It was a good night of fights which saw Ryan Young capture the Canadian Super Welterweight Championship. Photographing ringside is really great and is the best "seat" in the house. I tried a couple of different lenses and settings on Saturday and really enjoyed the results.

Photo Shoot with Pro Boxer Winston Matthews

Professional Boxer Winston Matthews came down to the studio last night for some promo work before his next fight Saturday night against another friend Steve Rainford. Jus Win looked to be in great shape and was super relaxed. I'm looking forward to shooting the fights Saturday night in Mississauga on the United Promotions Card.

Photographing Fight #300 at MCC3

A picture from the first fight I ever shot. PFC #2 - March 2014.

This weekend at Maple City Cagefighting #3 I will shoot my 300th fight since March of 2014. It has been a great couple of years and I have met tonnes of awesome people. I'd like to thank Jamie Champion for giving me a shot even though I had no experience.I love to shoot fights, fighters and promotional material for fights. I'd like to think I've become more skilled at fight pictures and hopefully I'll continue to grow. Looking forward to #300, then onto #500 and a world title fight.

Steve "The Renegade" Rainford

I met Steve back in 2014 and have shot 2 of his 3 professional fights and countless bouts where he has cornered, refereed or judged plus a promotional shoot. Steve climbs back into the ring Saturday night in Mississauga in a rematch vs. Aurey Cox. There first fight was close and this one should be better. Best of Luck Steve and I'll be ringside Saturday.
