For more than a decade, Paul Meleschnig photographed young Cuban boxers in training. Here, the artist captured a young man after a fight, dripping with sweat as he changes from athletic to street attire. Partially obscured by his hand, his face bears an expression of absolute exhaustion, perhaps both from conflict inside the ring and from the hardships of life outside of it.
