This photo series captures the atmosphere of two „Králi Ulice“ gala events and the world of bare-knuckle boxing. It documents the fights, the emotions of the fighters, and the reactions of the audience. The photographs portray pain, determination, respect, and the unique atmosphere of a sport shaped by months of training, personal stories, and the determination to push beyond one's limits.

I am an 18-year-old student who specializes in photography with a focus on reportage and sports photography. In my work, I try to capture authentic moments, emotions and stories of people, as well as the dynamics and atmosphere of sports events. For me, photography is a way to document what is happening around me and convey it through powerful visual moments.
