Chad Johnson Admits To Having Sex 3-5 Times Before His Duel With Brian Maxwell

JAKARTA - Former american football athlete Chad 'OchoCinco' Johnson faced Brian Maxwell in June last year as part of the opener for Floyd Mayweather-Logan Paul. It was his boxing debut, but he lost.

The bout between Johnson and Maxwell was a four-round exhibition bout of two minutes each and there were also no judges present to judge the fighters.

'OchoCinco' landed the best punch early in the fight, he managed to save himself with his speed. However, in the fourth round, he was hit in the chin and fell to the canvas.

The final seconds of the fight were dramatic. Johnson was running for his life as Maxwell trailed him in search of a knockout win that never came.

At the end, both fighters raised their hands and received a standing ovation from the audience.

Months after the fight, Chad Johnson revealed that he had sex "three to five times" on the night of his boxing match at Hard Rock Stadium.

"We did it three times, maybe four to five times in three-minute intervals," Chad told Brandon Marshall's "I Am Athlete" show.

Chad said he was restless ahead of the fight. Hence, he had a private 'fight'.

While many athletes - especially boxers - have been without sex for days, 'OchoCinco' says it actually helps his athletic performance.

"Actually, I had to be at the venue at Hard Rock," Chad said. "I think I'm fighting at 8 o'clock. I need to have sex so I can relax."

"And it makes me feel calm before 'war'."
