TULARE, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 06: Olympic hopeful boxer Richard Torrez Jr. poses for a portrait in his father's gym during a training session on June 06, 2020 in Tulare, California. Torrez Jr. was one of 13 boxers selected to represent Team USA at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games Boxing Qualifiers in Argentina, but the qualifier was canceled due to the coronavirus. The 20-year-old has won numerous international tournaments, and is currently ranked fifth in the world in the super heavyweight weight class. The training center in Colorado is currently closed so Torrez Jr. continues to train at home with his father, who is his coach. His father has implemented many different types of training methods, such as hitting cement rocks with a sledge hammer, filling up wheel barrels with sand, and flipping over tractor tires. Athletes across the globe are now training in isolation under strict policies in place due to the Covid-19 pandemic. (Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images)
