The Boxing Bishop

For more than 30 years Archbishop Costakis Evangelou MBE has served Enfield’s young people through the founding of football, boxing, and arts clubs in Edmonton. These initiatives are designed to improve the wellbeing, development and skills of the young people involved.

Filming throughout 2022 provided an opportunity to document the archbishop, highlighting his life and work at Edmonton Eagles Amateur Boxing Club as well as his impact within the wider community.

The film showcases a truly compelling story - a person born outside of the borough making Enfield their home and giving back to the community in such a powerful way.
