Inside the Ring: Fred Johnson’s Raw Truth About the Fight Game
On this episode of The Chris and Mike Show, I sit down with professional boxer Fred Johnson — and let me tell you, this dude brings the heat both inside and outside the ring. We dive deep into his journey from scrappy amateur to seasoned pro, and it’s not just about the punches thrown. Fred opens up about the mental game, the discipline, and the kind of heart it takes to lace up the gloves professionally.
He breaks down the adrenaline rush of his first pro fight, the power of perseverance, and how crucial coaching and mentorship have been in shaping his career — and now, how he’s paying that forward. We talk about how boxing can change the lives of young people, the hurdles new fighters face, and what it takes to actually make it in the sport — not just physically, but emotionally and financially.
Fred gets real about the state of boxing in today’s world, especially with MMA shifting the spotlight, and he doesn’t hold back on what it takes to rise above the noise. We touch on everything from fight prep to promoters, from fight-day diet to how height, speed, and technique matter in every weight class. This is more than just a fighter’s story — it’s a look behind the gloves at the grit, sacrifice, and passion that fuels it all.
We wrap the episode with a look at Fred’s next big fight — where you can watch it, and why you won’t want to miss it.
