This chapter offers an autotheoretical account of my experiences as a trans man training for my first amateur bout \u2013 one that has yet to come but borne out of a never-ending fight. My chapter is in conversation with autobiography (McBee, 2018), journalistic (Oates, 2006) and ethnographical scholarship addressing the intricacies of pugilistic violence as a response to systemic gender, racial, sexual and economic oppression (Beauchez, 2017; Rutter, 2007).<\/p>\n

Boxing draws fighters from marginalized communities. As a trans man, I have fought intense \u2018negative\u2019 feelings most of my life \u2013 emotions culminating into rage. I joined an amateur boxing club in Ottawa after trying to instigate a street altercation with a stranger. Feeling out of control, I sought refuge with others who also believe fighting solves problems.<\/p>\n

Professor Irving is a faculty member in the Institute of Interdisciplinary Studies and the Feminist Institute of Social Transformation at Carleton University.<\/p>\n
