BORN TO FIGHT

How Boxing Gives You Superpowers

By: Johnathon Allen, Cem Eren

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

World champion boxing trainer Cem (The Lion) Eren has a natural talent for teaching anyone from professional athletes to retired school teachers how to activate their personal superpowers through the practice of boxing. Born to Fight: How Boxing Gives You Superpowers, distills decades of The Lion’s fight-training experience into a simple system of powerful principles, practices, and training methods that can transform every area of your life—even if you never put on a pair of boxing gloves. Written by extreme sports author Johnathon Allen (BIKE, Outside, Adventure Journal) in a lively Q&A format featuring interviews with NBA Superstar point guard Damian Lillard and world champion boxers David Benavidez, Rico Hoye, and others, this is far more than a book about boxing. No matter who you are or what you do--boxing training will make you better at it.

Because at the end of the day: We are all BORN TO FIGHT!

A must read

Born to Fight is a bold, unfiltered, and deeply inspiring read that blends humor, hard won wisdom, and raw honesty into every chapter. Cem doesn’t just tell a story, he invites you into his world. Sharing the real, the gritty, and the growth with a voice that’s as relatable as it is powerful.

The book strikes a rare balance: it’s laugh-out-loud funny at times, yet packed with life lessons that stick with you. Whether he’s recounting personal challenges or dropping insights that hit straight to the soul, Eren keeps you turning the page. It’s educational without ever feeling preachy and motivating without ever feeling cliché.

At its core, it is about resilience, identity, and living life with intention. It’s a reminder that you’re stronger than your circumstances and that sometimes, the fight is what shapes you. This book will challenge you, uplift you, and leave you proud to be part of something bigger.

Highly recommend for anyone ready to step into their own power.
