People on Sundays
Chad Johnson works out at Eastside Boxing in Oklahoma City on Sunday June 28, 2009. By John Clanton, The Oklahoman
Chad Johnson got a late start as a fighter. He trains at Eastside Boxing, a gym where trainers hope to change young people’s lives through boxing. Johnson, who works as a banker, is an amateur, but hopes someday to get 20 fights as a professional boxer. Sunday evening finds Chad alone at the gym near 36th and Lottie, working on a punching bag behind a window full of boxing trophies.

Great to see people like Chad really delve into the sport of boxing so late. It comes to show how much boxing is for everyone. All you need is a dash of passion, heart, and sacrifice. It’s not so much about bashing your opponent until he bleeds. It’s about one’s ambition and drive, like Chad’s. Spending time on weekdays training and getting better, doing what you really love to do.
