Real-life fight club: The models, marines and millionaires who illegally do battle on New York’s underground fighting circuit<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These gritty photographs show the real-life fight club where models marines and millionaires pummel each other during matches in New York’s underground fighting circuit.<\/p>\n

The photo series called ‘Old One Two’ by photographer Devin Yalkin captures the raw and unfiltered nature of the illegal fight clubs<\/a> which take place in venues across New York city.<\/p>\n

Reminiscent of the 1999 Hollywood movie called ‘Fight Club’ starring Brad Pitt and Edward Norton there is a no-holds bar attitude among strangers who step into the ring ready to draw blood on their opponent.<\/p>\n

The fights take place in random venues dotted across New York City, where a baying crowd watches as fighters go head-to-head in the ring.<\/p>\n

The violent event is completely unsanctioned but still draws in fighters who range from male models to millionaires.<\/p>\n

Yalkin uses his lens to capture the striking, raw, enigmatic and intoxicating fights that are as far from mainstream boxing events as can be.<\/p>\n
