  • Eastside Boxing Club

    I’m thrilled to share my recent visit to the Eastside Boxing Club in Snellville, GA! This gem of a place, helmed by the incredible Rod Bridges, is much more than just a boxing gym—it’s a hub of positivity, empowerment, and community spirit.

    Rod Bridges is a true community hero, dedicating his time to teaching the youth not only how to defend themselves but also how to get in shape, boost their self-confidence, and develop discipline. He runs tournaments and offers mentorship programs, fostering a supportive environment where kids can thrive.

    If you’re looking for a place where both you and your child can learn, grow, and be part of a vibrant community, Eastside Boxing Club is the place to be. You can sign up and check out their programs on their website at www.esboxingclub.com. And don’t forget to mention that Cece in the City sent you!

    Spread the word and let’s continue to uplift our communities together! 🌟 #CeceInTheCity #EastsideBoxingClub #CommunityHeroes #PositiveVibes

    Floyd Mayweather Jr. is a boxing promoter and professional boxer. He currently owns a team in the NASCAR Cup Series named The Money Team Racing.  He is undefeated in boxing, winning 15 major world championships from super featherweight to light middleweight.

    He is definitely one of the greatest boxers in the world. He has inspired so many boxers all over the world.  Here are some quotes I like by Floyd:

    “No-One’s perfect. There’s only two things perfect- GOD and my Boxing Record”

    “A true champion can adapt to anything”

    “When you’re the best, you only want to surround yourself with the best”

    Floyd has won plenty of awards and he was inducted into the international Boxing Hall of Fame.  He is one of the highest paid athletes in the world. I got to give him his roses today. He has been teaching others that want to be a boxer, including his family. He is fast and great at what he does.

    What are some of the greatest moments you would like to share with Floyd? Also make sure to follow me @Cece.Atl.

    Sugar Ray Leonard is a professional boxer, motivational speaker and actor. He is one of the greatest boxers of all time.  He won a lot of medals. His speed was like no other, he was fast. He is definitely one of my favorite sports icons. He inspired a lot of other boxers.

    He is also the founder of the Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to fighting type 1 diabetes, a condition that Leonard himself was diagnosed with.  He also has a boxing center in Prince George’s county, Maryland which serves as a training facility for young athletes. The Sugar Ray Leonard Boxing Center provides a safe and supportive environment for kids to develop their skills, both in and out of the ring.

    Some of the quotes that I liked by him:

    “I’m not religious, but I believe that what I have is a gift, and I respect it and live up to it”

    “Boxing is the ultimate challenge. There is nothing that can compare to testing yourself the way you do every time you step in the ring.”

    “If you never know Failure you will never know success.”

    I definitely got to give him his roses today. He has inspired so many people all over the world. And he is still doing a lot in the community.

  • Muhammad Ali

    Muhammad Ali was a professional boxer. They called him “The Greatest” heavyweight boxer of all time.     

    He was definitely one of our favorite sports icons.  Did you know that Muhammad Ali fought Joe Bugner for the first time. He was gifted a bedazzled, Elvis styled robe from Elvis Presley himself. Muhammad Ali was never one to back down from a fight? His legacy  will be remembered forever. Here is some of quotes By him:

    “Don’t quit-suffer now, and live the rest of your life as a champion.”

    “Every man wants to believe in himself. And every man wants to become fearless. We become heroes when we stand up for what we believe in.”

    “Nobody has to tell me that this is a serious business. I’m not fighting one man, showing a lot of em, here is one man they couldn’t defeat, couldn’t conquer. My mission is to bring freedom to 30 million black people.”

    I enjoyed the movie Ali, it was good, and Will Smith played his role really well. It showed part of his life journey. If you haven’t checked it out, you should watch it.
