Thought to be lacking intelligence, at 23 with $400, Cedric worked his passage on a freighter to the USA. Driven by self-belief and the desire for success, he rose to the very pinnacle of the boxing and music worlds, being inducted into the Boxing Hall of Fame.

Promoting major pop bands and icons of the 70 – 80s, he switched to boxing, promoting over 300 world title fights with Shane Mosley (best pound-for-pound) and Hasim Rahman (heavyweight title) his biggest successes.

Donald Trump co-promoted some fights, and his battles with Don King were legendary. Humorous, there are also many stories concerning the ‘ladies of the night’. His story carries a message of hope to any parent who finds themselves in despair over their child’s inability to cope with school.
