Known for his endless confidence during his days as a star NFL wideout, Chad Johnson is bringing a different kind of energy entirely to the boxing ring.
Johnson, 43, makes his boxing debut this Sunday when he takes on combat sports journeyman Brian Maxwell in an exhibition bout at the Floyd Mayweather vs. Logan Paul Showtime event in Miami. When he was making defenders look foolish while catching passes for the Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots from 2001-2011, the former “Chad Ochocinco” was known as much for his celebratory dances in the endzone as he was for the touchdowns that got him there.
