Charles Ledoux (October 27, 1892 – May 21, 1967) was a French bantamweight boxer who was active from 1909-1926. While never capturing a world title, Ledoux squared off against the best opposition available to him both nationally and internationally.[1] During his career he faced the likes of Jim Driscoll, Georges Carpentier, Johnny Coulon, Kid Herman, Kid Williams, Eugène Criqui and Joe Lynch. Ledoux was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2014.[2] He was one on the hardest hitting bantamweights in boxing history. With 43 of his 86 knockouts coming in the first 3 rounds and 16 of them in the first round.
