Becoming Indian

The next day, Taylor did not go to the training center. He went to visit the legendary boxing coach, Ayres, nicknamed "White Devil."

Ayres was regarded as the godfather in the boxing world. In the few decades of his coaching career, he produced dozens of world-class boxing champions and dozens of world-class boxing coaches. Ayres' disciples were everywhere, and they were well represented in all four of the boxing leagues.　

Ayres had chosen to retire five years ago. However, even before his retirement, he decided not to work as a permanent head coach of a single professional boxer. He became a freelance boxing consultant. He was paid by professional boxers to give short-term coaching. Although this type of work wasn't as secure, he had professional boxers lining up to hire him, hoping that Ayres would be able to give them some pointers.
