Gentleman Gerry

Gerry "Gentleman" Cooney was the number one-ranked heavyweight in the world when he faced Larry Holmes for the title in 1982.

In this conversation, he opens up about growing up in a turbulent home, finding purpose through boxing, and the self-sabotage that shadowed his rise. He relives the 54-second Ken Norton knockout and the epic night with Holmes, sharing what he saw in opponents' eyes and how great fighters make adjustments.

We also talk about mentoring kids, rebuilding trust, and how sobriety, family, and service anchor his life today.
