For five decades, Lawrence Lustig has been a regular at ringside as a photographer. 

Initially he worked for agencies, then the Daily Star newspaper, then he became a Matchroom stalwart and now he is at Boxxer.

He and Charlie Magri were one another's best men, and here Lawrence talks about the art of being a boxing photographer, the truth behind the Bentt-Hide press conference  brawl, his role in bringing Lennox Lewis to the UK after the Olympics, the break up of The Cartel, taking photos at tragic fights and much more.

This interview flew by.
