As Manny Pacquiao once said, “Boxing is not about your feelings. It’s about performance.” Through my writing, I hope to bring this performance closer to boxing fans. My affinity toward combat sports began when Dad would spend late nights watching reruns of famous Indian wrestlers battling it out in WWE. But with years, having lost touch with the sport, I found an opportunity to be a part of it yet again, and this time even contribute toward it through my writing. Hello! I am Mohammed Shafiulla R., people know me as Shafi, and I’m a boxing writer at EseentiallySports. Having briefly touched areas like PR, Marketing, and Journalism, I am here now working toward building myself as a sports journalist. My undergrad in Journalism and Literature and my ongoing Masters in Multimedia storytelling equip me to be better and meet the challenges that come with depleting consumer attention spans. Today boxing as a sport remains poised as one of the most lucrative sports among others, the coverage of it, however, is undergoing a massive paradigm shift. I hope to be a part of this shift and bring in newer means and forms of telling narratives of the ring. After all, it is we as journalists who get to tell the tales of the ring and the fighters that make the ring a reality.

"Boxing is the ultimate challenge. There's nothing that can compare to testing yourself the way you do every time you step in the ring," said Sugar Ray Leonard. Growing up engrossed in sports, it was the compelling narrative of the Mike Tyson documentary that first pulled me into the magnetic world of boxing. This sentiment perfectly encapsulates for me the allure of boxing. This initial spark was further kindled by the unparalleled prowess and strategy of Floyd Mayweather, offering me a deeper appreciation for the sweet science. I am Mrinal, a senior writer for Boxing at EssentiallySports. Over 800 articles and countless live events later, covering moments like the thrilling KSI vs Tommy Fury bout and the epic Canelo Alvarez vs Jermell Charlo showdown remain close to my heart. My journey as a national-level football player has enriched my perspective, allowing me to draw parallels between the discipline, dedication, and spirit inherent in both sports. Beyond the ringside drama, I train occasionally, letting my gloves narrate stories of punches and parries. And while the boxing world continues to unfold its tales, I'm here, dedicated to translating these sagas for readers, capturing the essence and legacy of the sport with reverence.

The Greatest aka Muhammad Ali would always say, “We can’t be brave without fear.” I am a Boxing author at EssentiallySports and was first drawn to the boxing gym when a friend of mine came to meet me with her hand wraps still on. After arranging enough resources, I joined the gym and eventually tried my hand at MMA as well. A challenging sparring session always left me slightly bruised but happy. I have always enjoyed watching a good fight. Watching Mike Tyson demonstrate what rigorous and disciplined training can achieve motivates me to this day. Amanda Nunes is another beast that I look up to. My coverage of Tyson Fury and Francis Ngannou received considerable appreciation as many unknown facets of these entities had been brought to light. Though I could not continue my training in boxing, I have kept myself busy and active through dancing. Outside the ring, I currently train in jazz and hip-hop.

Gervonta Davis and Conor Benn

The first time boxing captured my attention, it was because of a line I heard in the film 'Rocky Balboa', a film surrounding boxing. The line went like this, "But it ain't about how hard ya hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward." In those lines, I found the essence of boxing and life. I'm Sudeep Sinha, a pro-writer for Boxing at EssentiallySports and my purpose in life is to extract unique and alluring stories from the ring. The grit, the determination, and the undying spirit of boxers – those are the things fueling my pen. While I am not a boxer, I have landed punches of my own by writing articles that aim to leave a mark on the sport. Whether it's articles that illuminate the human stories behind the boxers or stories that capture the essence of the sport, my work encompasses all. If I am not weaving the sweet story of boxing, you can find me immersed in literature, soaking in the stories that transcend reality. Or you can find me lost in the vast expanse of Hyderabad's greenery. I believe every jab, cross, and hook has a story to tell, so I am here to bring those stories to you! Come join me as we traverse through the enchanting world of boxing.

“Heroism is endurance for one moment more.” I’ve been a lifelong Karateka with immense respect and admiration for the sweet science. Now, for the first time, I’ve got an opportunity to be as close as possible to the sport. For the past year, my words have danced across the pages of boxing narratives, crafting tales in and around the ring for EssentiallySports. Incidentally, three of my articles have even been embraced by the entities involved such as Tony Jeffries and Mia St. John. I have written over 900 articles, chronicling the recent developments happening inside and outside of the squared circle. Having a keen eye on the punches traded inside the squared circle, I have written opinion pieces on the fighting styles of Floyd Mayweather Jr, David Benavidez, and Terence Crawford. The genesis of my fascination with boxing traces back to the tales spun by my father, recounting the epic clashes between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, besides regaling me and my brother about the greatest of all, Sugar Ray Robinson. Outside of the greatest, my favorites remain the trinity comprising Alexis Arguello for his elegance and power, Marvelous Marvin Hagler for his chin and work ethic, and Manny Pacquiao for his resilience and dynamism. Aside from writing, I love to spend my leisure time reading, an activity that comes in handy when I don the hat of a storyteller for ES.
