Afterward, the young photographer embarked on a lifelong love affair with the sport of boxing. <p/>For the next four decades, Regan chronicled the greatest fights and the greatest fighters of the age. His extraordinary photographs include many of the most enduring images ever created in the history of boxing, as well as portraits of notable trainers, managers, promoters, writers, and the whole panoply of celebrities associated with the sport.

Beginning with his early magazine work shooting prizefights, and throughout the following decades, Regan developed close personal friendships with some of the world's greatest boxers. Regan captures intimate moments showing fighters with their families at home and on the road.
