Although the physically punishing nature of boxing and the physically graceful nature of modeling don’t usually mix, English boxer slash model Dudley O’Shaughnessy seems to have the extremely high level of intensity of maintain excellence in both fields. After following his father and brother into the ring at age nine, O’Shaughnessy quickly rose through the ranks to become the senior Amateur Boxing Association welterweight champion last year. But O’Shaughnessy doesn’t only put on the gloves, actively modeling and starring in short films, including Rhianna’s newest track “We Found Love.” In this short film from photographer Sharif Hamza, O’Shaughnessy ruthlessly pummels the bag in his trademark sleek style while the powerful and abrasive sounds of his fury provide a beatdown for the ears. It wouldn’t be a good idea to get in Dudley O’Shaughnessy’s way, either on the runway or in the ring.
