pugilism

The iconic Royal Albert Hall has hosted pugilism for over a century, welcomed key political figures and showcased musical superstars.

Edwards started boxing aged nine, following his older brother Charlie into the gym, and pugilism quickly consumed his life.

His father Stan instructed him to do hours of press-ups from the age of five, introduced him to pugilism aged eight and encouraged him to turn professional after a few senior bouts..

But he soon experienced the fickleness of pro pugilism in a significant step-up.

The Boxing Pride gym taught Lozano the basics of pugilism and when she began defeating 16- and 17-year-olds when she was just 11, her trainer realized that “La Traviesa” could do great things.
