Cedric Johnson, owner of Ced's Boxing Academy was born and raised in Anderson, IN. "I started boxing at the age of twelve at the Anderson PAL Club with the vision and goal of being a well- known champion in the boxing world. I had won numerous Golden Gloves championship bouts, national title for the State of Indiana was ranked number four in the world. I had gone from amateur at club fights to professional live boxing across the world, via ESPN, HBO TV. My vision of opening Ced's Boxing Academy is a direct result of my values. I feels that "perseverance is a must, but you still have to know when god is taking you in another direction. My faith in the lord has brought me this far."
