I started training with Lennox Blackmoore at the World Famous Gleason’s Boxing Gym in Brooklyn, New York City. Spending many mornings, days, and nights at the gym. One day Lennox pulled down a torn old-ragged photo book from the top of his locker. I was transfixed by the old black and white photos and newspaper articles. I was inspired enough by his experiences and began to use my skills as a filmmaker to record his stories. Lennox is quite a character, a rare and unique individual. He has reached his dreams and has the stories to prove it. We both agreed his story would make an excellent documentary. Now the world will get an opportunity to know the champion, the trainer, and the man, Lennox Blackmoore.

Lennox Blackmoore was the first Guyanese boxer to win the British Commonwealth title in 1977. Lennox boxing record is 25 and 5. He is currently a trainer at the World Famous Gleasons Gym in Brooklyn NY.
