Stewart, this is a great shot I like how you have used the light to accentuate the athletes physique. I am not sure what kick boxers normal gear is but I am thinking it might not be BVD's. In my opinion the BVD's takes away from the authenticity of the overall photo still a nice sports portrait though.

Thank you! This is right after each competitor steps off the scale for the weigh-in. An individual photo and a stare down photo is taken prior to the event. They do not wear their ring attire at the weigh-in.

OK that makes a lot more sense, I thought it was a staged portrait type shot...
