In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1946, a time when world champion cruiserweight boxer Gus Lesnevich was preparing for his highly anticipated fight against Bruce Woodcock. Captured during his training session at Brighton, Lesnevich not only focused on honing his skills but also took the opportunity to inspire and uplift a group of wounded soldiers from Roehampton Hospital.

His muscular physique exudes strength and determination as he demonstrates various boxing techniques to these brave men who were invited to watch him train. The intensity in his eyes mirrors their unwavering spirit despite their physical challenges.
