As he shaped up for his upcoming movie role of Sugar Ray Leonard in Hands of Stone, Usher did a fitness shoot at Gleason’s Gym in Brooklyn this summer.

And since he wanted to get down to Sugar Ray’s weight of 146, he said about training:

"I train like an athlete every day, believe it or not."

Oh, we believe it. He started at 180 and said he started cycling:

"My second day I decided to ride to the gym," 10 miles from his home in Atlanta. "So I rode there. Boxed. Rode the bike back home."

He also revealed:

"Mentally, I’m the type of person who can ignore the pain. Put it somewhere else and allow my body to just go there," he says. "But I always suffer. You can’t box, ride a bike for 20 miles in the heat—Georgia heat—and then go to the studio and rehearse. That’s not happening."
