The Aura of Boxing explores the world of the boxing gym, a tough environment in which boxers train their minds and their bodies in preparation for the gruelling challenges of the ring. Kandhola powerfully captures the gritty atmosphere of the gym and the unrelenting physical effort demanded of the boxers. As well as looking at the training environment Kandhola focuses on three established figures in boxing: Julius Francis, Robert McCracken and Howard 'Clakka' Clarke.
