The first story in the MadTree Legendary Lager series celebrates West End icon and heavyweight champ, Ezzard “Cincinnati Cobra” Charles. One of the greatest fighters ever, Ezzard Charles was crowned heavyweight champ while he smashed glass ceilings outside of the ring. Jazz musician, tailor, veteran, community activist, family man — Ezz’s talents were unrivaled. His story is legendary.
Ezzard Charles was a hero of Cincinnati’s West End. To honor his legacy within his community, the Cincinnati Parks Foundation is placing a 13-foot, bronze statue of Ezzard Charles in West End’s Laurel Park. The statue will be dedicated at Ezz Fest on October 9, 2021 — all are welcome!
