"...It's either him, or me..." Published May 12, 2015 By Airman 1st Class Taylor A. Workman 9th Reconnaissance Wing Public Affairs BEALE AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. -- "Every time I go in the ring I still get nervous but once I get hit with the first punch, the nervousness disappears. It's either him or me. I decided to start boxing as a self-defense. Ever since then I've fallen in love with the sport and I've been boxing for the Air Force for four years now. In 2012, I fought against Marine and Army boxers and won the Armed Forces Boxing Championship. It feels amazing to represent the Air Force doing what I love."
