Boxing Ballerinas

Tony McGee and Floridita Productions Ltd published his first book, “Boxing Ballerinas” in, 2002.

This is a book that closely shows the unique affiliation between boxers at the Academy of boxing, and ballerinas at the National School of Ballet in Havana, Cuba. This stunning book is a photographic diary of the training of both art forms through agility, pain, timing and endurance.

Each image is a strong representation of the pure emotion and heart that goes into each form of sport. There is a constant sense of movement and extreme energy throughout the publication. When seeing two images aside of one another it is astonishing at the similarities in the structure, practice and gruelling training that they both endure.

“Ballerinas float like butterflies, The Boxers sting like bees.” Tony McGee
