A portrait of the UK’s oldest boxing club

A new documentary titled 'Learning the Ropes,' directed by Ryan Pickard, explores the history of Repton Boxing Club, located in Bethnal Green, East London, which is considered the UK's oldest boxing club. The club is housed in a red brick former bathhouse near Bethnal Green station. The film, covered by writer Sydney Lobe for Huck, also raises questions about the present and future of boxing in the UK.
