This is not about sport. There is no winner, no loser - only the ritual of confrontation, the initiation into combat. On one side, English boxing: fifty boxers shut inside a church at the heart of a shantytown, fifty sweating bodies in a hall deliberately starved of air, fighting under a tired neon light, fifty outcasts possessed by the ghost of Muhammad Ali.
