The best boxers of the world
Athletes - special people. They are famous and loved for their achievements really, not for the beautiful attractive face, as many actors and musicians. Wins the competition is fair - you praise, won a defeat - prepare to blows, but how else know that desire to win will be rewarded.
German photographer Holger Keyfel closely monitors virtually all sporting events, but the prettiest thing he sport called boxing. Holger since 1993 lives and works in New York, working with some of the most famous in the west magazines «The New York Times Magazine», «Der Spiegel», «ZeitWissen», «The Observer Sport Monthly», «Black + White Magazine "and« American Photography », and so he was able to" lure "in his studio the best and most renowned boxers planet. Naturally, all he could not capture, but most of mastodons boxing still appeared on his photos. I present to you an excellent series of black-and-white portraits of the best boxers of the world according to Holger Keyfelya.

His fights were always interesting, vivid and fascinating spectacle, but now "Iron Mike", as it is called in the private press, no longer appears in the ring.

For example, after the disqualification of ear bitten off Evander Holyfield, when many took up arms against unsportsmanlike behavior Mike and sided with Holyfield. Shortly after the incident said Holyfield, Tyson than was motivated to create such a situation:
"It happened because Tyson wanted to quickly finish the fight, but he was afraid to lose by knockout - and therefore bite»
The media has been very interesting to watch developments and there were many rumors that actually untrue ...
"A week later we met in New York at a basketball game in the elevator. Mike asked me: Hey, are you all right? Thus, he apologized. Everyone thought that we put up a fight in the elevator. But why? That battle I earned $ 35 million, Mike - 25 million. All nine minutes! Why should we fight just so? »
