119-pound boxer Gary Russell Jr. grew up in the ring—he's been shadowboxing since age two. Growing up in Capital Heights, Md., Gary was coached his entire life by a father who once had his own Olympic boxing dreams. Gary is the youngest member of USA Boxing's Elite Team and the number one amateur international bantamweight champion of the world. He won both the U.S. Championships and National Golden Gloves at just sixteen. Gary is slowly adjusting to life away from Dad and home as part of the USA boxing team. Watch Gary morph from boy to man as he must choose between listening to his father and learning the ways of international fighting.
