Information

Cengizhan Doğan (left) was undefeated in Turkish Oil Wrestling (Yağlı güreş) at the time of this shoot.

Oil wrestling can be traced back to ancient Sumer and Babylon and competitions are held on "proving grounds." The proving grounds offer a venue to prove their manhood, but a great deal of sportsmanship is exhibited as well.

The boys, both age 14, are students at a top level sports academy, Antalya Büyükşehir Asat Spor Kulübü, in Istanbul (Asian side).
