The 5th Street Gym
During the pandemic, I relocated to the sunny state of Florida and found an apartment tucked behind the iconic 5th Street Gym, a historic boxing landmark once home to Muhammad Ali. Immersed in this rich environment, I not only learned how to throw a punch but also began documenting champion fighters and producing branded content that captured their compelling stories. During this time, I had the privilege of serving as the personal photographer for renowned Italian boxer Daniele Scardina, famously known as "King Toretto."
