Johnson has never boxed before and called his fight with Maxwell a "one time thing" in a recent interview. But I love boxing. When Floyd called, the first thing I wanted to know was how much time I had to prepare. Once I knew that I had enough time that I could look like myself in there, I knew I could pull it off. Indeed, Johnson has been preparing and at one point trained with the Charlo brothers for his fight against Maxwell.
Maxwell is in his boxing career but sports a record in MMA fights. He clearly has the upper hand on his opponent from an experience standpoint, but will Johnson be able to make the fight interesting? Here's what you need to know about the Chad Johnson vs. Brian Maxwell fight. Paul fight? Like Paul, Johnson earned his notoriety outside the ring. However, unlike the YouTuber, Johnson says he has no plans to continue a boxing career outside of Sunday's bout.

A post shared by Chad Johnson ochocinco. As mentioned above, Johnson is an entertainer at heart, and with the biggest night of the boxing year so far coming to his backyard, it was a tough thing to pass up on. Johnson told ESPN that he wants "to entertain," but doesn't want to embarrass himself or disappoint paying fans by putting on a poor showing against a combat sport veteran like Maxwell. He put on one hell of a f—ing show,'" he said, noting that he's very aware of his status as a rookie in the ring.
I felt I was in adequate enough shape and had enough background to do it. With huge amount of respect for combat sports, I couldn't pass up the opportunity. While entertaining is in his blood, it should be noted that Johnson will collect a tidy sum for his efforts.
Not in a competitive sense, no. As noted, this is the first time he'll step into a ring as a competitor, but Johnson says he's been training in the boxing ring in the football offseason every year since high school to help with his hand-eye coordination.
The former Bengals wide receiver has ramped up his training in recent weeks, sparring with twins Jermall and Jermell Charlo to prepare for his bout with Maxwell. Obviously, going in the ring with someone that does it at the highest level and learning the mistakes. I like it like that.
