El Pugil is a short film that emerged from a conversation with Israel Vázquez, former WBC world champion, I asked him about loneliness in boxing and he told me that there was none, I wanted to explain what I meant by loneliness, that It is a lonely sport, despite the number of people that are always around the fighter and the script of this short film is the reflection I made about the subject. Dedicated to all boxers in the world.
