Ruqsana Begum

Ruqsana Begum is an English professional kickboxer and boxer. She was a British and World Kickboxing Association female Atomweight Muay Thai boxing champion and captain of the British Muay Thai Team. In March 2018, Begum made the switch from professional kickboxing to boxing.

“I photographed Ruqsana in the boxing gym she regularly trains at under a railway arch in Bethnal Green, London. Taken before a lesson she teaches every Sunday, women only kick boxing.” – Kate Peters
