Christian Davis is a PhD researcher at the University of Leicester studying how race, gender, social class, and masculinity intersect to affect inclusion/exclusion in boxing gyms, and how local sports clubs and the local community influence the construction of urban identities. Fascinating work which we discuss on part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3T1f0XX7roY
