Prior to being a new homeowner, Gorimbo had been sleeping on the couch in the gym where he trains — a story he shared with Johnson while giving him a tour, per a video shared on Instagram.

“When I lost my first fight, I couldn’t stay in Africa and train more there so I had to come here,” Gorimbo explained. “Then, I messaged Coach Valverde and said to him, ‘Can I come and train in Miami? …I can stay on the floor mats or anything.”
