On today's "Current Sports with Al Martin" we have one of the most compelliong interviews in show history.

Who was impressive, and how did the Spartan in the mix wind up doing? Also, Al explores why a few stars might turn their head towards East Lansing following yesterday. Then, the rest of the show is a story of one man's inspiring saga. Tommy Washington Jr., Lansing boxing great, shares his journey.
