About Boxing Gym
The veteran award-winning documentary filmmaker Frederick Wiseman turns his lens on the world of boxing, specifically on a gym in Austin, Texas. Unobtrusively recording the simple comings and goings at the facility, Wiseman documents daily life at the gym, its many patrons, their routines and its owner, Richard Lord. The film forgoes techniques common to modern documentaries -- talking-head interviews, reenactments, etc. -- in favor of a low-key approach. … MORE

The Business mogul said he chose her as he wanted to " try a new horizon".
When coming to a decision towards The End of The Final episode of the 17th series of the Reality Show , he told Ms Swindells it had been a difficult decision to invest in her community-focused Boxing Gym .
He Said it was " something which is completely alien to me to be honest and you've never run a business before".

She Said : " What an incredible opportunity and moment for a girl Like Me to get to a place like this and have become Lord Sugar's business partner.
" It feels strange to even say that, but I'm not going to stop saying it because I Am so happy. "
Ms Swindells went head-to-head with 35-year-old Bedfordshire hair salon owner Rochelle Anthony as they attempted to convince Lord Sugar and industry experts that they were worth the investment.
The pair were supported by candidates who had been fired earlier in the series who returned to help them bring their Business Plans to life.
The series had started with 18 hopeful candidates, with The First task seeing them fly to Antigua where they were tasked with creating and selling excursions to tourists.
Over The Course of 12 weeks, the candidates were whittled down to the Two Women .
Lord Sugar's aides, Baroness Karren Brady and Tim Campbell , shared their thoughts on the two finalists before The Winner was announced.
Of Ms Swindells, Baroness Brady said: " Marnie, she has never run a business before, and she's chosen a business that's very competitive - Can she stand out in this very competitive market? "
Meanwhile, Mr Campbell advocated for the Boxing Gym owner, as He Said : " That being said, for an ambassador for a boxing facility, there is no-one better I would think than Marnie and what she stands for. "
