At the time I met Juan, he was 21(2007). I heard about his story from another person. I decided I wanted to know more about him. Juan lives in one of Lima Peru's oldest neighborhoods in very precarious conditions. However this wasn't a limitation for him to follow his dreams, to become a boxer. In a country where boxing is not a sport that has support from the government or private companies, Juan believes in himself and continues to pursue his goals. I started documenting him because I respect a person who has ambitions and believes it is possible to succeed in life.I want others to become aware of people like Juan. This is a story in progress
