EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of a London gym in July 1997. The image captures the unexpected encounter between Matthew Wright and legendary world champion boxer Lennox Lewis. Clad in his iconic Union Jack boxing shorts and gloves, Matthew stands proudly beside the formidable athlete. However, what makes this particular moment truly unforgettable is Matthew's mischievous attempt to recreate one of boxing's most infamous incidents – Mike Tyson biting off Evander Holyfield's ear during their match. With a playful grin on his face, he leans towards Lennox Lewis as if attempting to take a bite out of his earlobe. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the 1990s, an era defined by its boldness and unpredictability. It serves as a reminder that even in serious sporting environments like boxing rings, there is always room for lighthearted moments and camaraderie. Iain Ferguson skillfully captures this unique interaction through his lens, freezing it forever within this stunning photo print. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but feel nostalgic for those thrilling times when anything seemed possible – both inside and outside the ring.
