EDITORS COMMENTS

At the time, Carpentier had already made a name for himself in the boxing world, having won the World Light Heavyweight Championship in 1921. However, his love for dance led him to collaborate with Ludmilla in a theatrical production that toured France and Spain in 1927. The show, which combined boxing demonstrations with dance performances, showcased Carpentier's versatility and charisma.
