Female amateur boxing and domestic violence survival took center stage over the weekend at the Art’otel Hoxton in London, UK, where a nearly full auditorium applauded the premiere of the pilot episode of Spar. Bored Panda attended the event on Friday (November 15), gaining exclusive access to a groundbreaking show that shines a spotlight on a sport often overlooked by mainstream media, and had the chance to interact with the cast and crew.
Spar follows the journey of four amateur boxers from different backgrounds, each with their own struggles and motivations.
In the pilot episode of Spar, Isabel Welsh, played by Nicola Roffe, was shadowed by the haunting memory of her abusive ex, represented by a menacing silhouette.
