EDITORS COMMENTS
Kirkland Laing, a formidable boxer known for his skill and agility, is captured here in an intense face-off with his opponent Colin Jones. The print showcases the anticipation and raw energy that filled the air at the Whyte and Mackays Whisky Championship held at Wembley Conference Centre on 11th March 1980. In this image, both boxers stand bare-chested, their sculpted physiques reflecting years of dedication to their craft. Their fists are clenched tightly, ready to unleash a flurry of punches that could determine victory or defeat. The atmosphere is charged with aggression as these two warriors prepare to engage in a fierce battle inside the ring. However, amidst this display of masculine strength and determination stands Marie Russell – a woman who defies convention by fearlessly entering this male-dominated world. With her presence accentuated by a dunces cap perched atop her head, she challenges societal norms while supporting Laing in his quest for glory. This photograph from Memory Lane Prints captures not only the intensity of boxing but also highlights themes of gender equality and breaking barriers. It serves as a testament to the power of sport in transcending boundaries and uniting individuals from diverse backgrounds under one common passion.
