Knockout shots: Recreating a Raging Bull vibe in a Dublin boxing ring

David Fitzgerald had it all in his mind, but how to make it a reality?

The Sportsfile photographer had a notion of capturing a boxing tournament in ageless, Raging Bull-type pictures, and when he saw a pro event being held in the Citywest Hotel in Dublin he picked up the phone.

“I asked if they minded I hung around the changing rooms and so on, and they said ‘no problem’,” says Fitzgerald.
