Gerald Washington shows up at Pullmans Gym almost every day of his life, even when the heavyweight contender has no fight coming up. Washington spends his innumerable hours at Pullmans training relentlessly, but he also savors the daily presence of his closest friends, including his trainer, John Pullman. After previous lives as a pro football player and a Navy helicopter mechanic, the 34-year-old Washington realizes the importance of maximizing his time in and out of the ring.
