Gambatte! Yokota Airman extends warrior ethos to the ring
U.S. Air Force Senior Airman Craig Jeudy, Fifth Air Force technical support technician, and his coach Rick Yoshimura poses for a photo after winning the East-Japan Newcomer King tournament semifinal in Tokyo, Japan, Sept. 19, 2025. Yoshimura, like Jeudy, was raised in New York City, joined the Air Force and became a professional boxer while stationed in Japan. He opened a boxing gym near Yokota Air Base in 2013 and now serves as a mentor for active-duty Airmen wanting to refine their warrior spirit. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Spencer Tobler)
