  1. Sparring matches such as this one are just a part of the exhibition, of course, there’s also:

    – Designer clothing based around the concept of “Fighting Fast Fashion”: Kosmic Kasbah Boxing Club.

    – Aesthetics of boxing, the gym, the lockers, shadow, etc

    – Amazing pictures and posters exploring a plethora of different styles.

    – Context about the history and development of the noble art, in a full room pop art format.

    So much more!

    About the exhibitions, proper gallas from the flemish boxing league will be organized there, and about the sparring I shall be participating myself in a couple of ocasions so do not hesitate to drop by!

    Lastly., if you want to see more about upcoming blue gloved boxer:
