===Karier awal dan wajib militer===
Charles mengawali karier amatirnya sebagai petinju kelas bulu dan mencatatkan rekor 42–0. Pada tahun 1938 dia memenangkan Diamond Belt [[Middleweight]] Championship. Dia melanjutkannya dengan memenangkan turnamen kejuaraan [[Chicago Golden Gloves]] pada tahun 1939.
===Juara dunia tinju kelas berat===
===Charles vs. Marciano===
===Karier selanjutnya===
Charles terpaksa terus bertanding karena mengalami masalah keuangan. Dia mendapatkan 13 kekalahan dalam 23 pertandingan terakhirnya (dia mencatatkan rekor 83 kemenangan, 12 kekalahan, dan 1 hasil imbang sebelum masalah keuangan membuatnya memperpanjang kariernya). Dia pensiun dengan rekor of 93-25-1 (52 KO). Dia berhasil membalas 7 kekalahan dalam kariernya.
===Kehidupan pribadi===
Charles was very close with Rocky Marciano and a neighbor and friend of [[Muhammad Ali]] when they both lived on 85th Street in Chicago.<ref>Newsmakers interview with Ezzard Charles Jr., WKRC Channel 12 Cincinnati, August 17, 2008</ref> Charles also starred in one motion picture: ''Mau Mau Drums'', an independent (and unreleased) jungle-adventure film shot in and around Cincinnati in 1960 by filmmaker Earl Schwieterman.▼
▲Charles
In 1968, Charles was diagnosed with [[amyotrophic lateral sclerosis]], also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. The disease affected Charles' legs and eventually left him completely disabled. A fund raiser was held to assist Charles and many of his former opponents spoke on his behalf. Rocky Marciano in particular called Charles the bravest man he ever fought. The former boxer spent his last days in a nursing home. A chilling 1973 commercial showed Charles in his wheelchair horribly disabled by ALS.<ref>Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211212/ntSVnJr0F1s Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20200329170636/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntSVnJr0F1s Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}:▼

In 1976, [[Cincinnati]] honored Charles by changing the name of Lincoln Park Drive to Ezzard Charles Drive. This was the street of his residence during the height of his career.<ref>[http://library.cincymuseum.org/aag/bio/charles.html ''Guide to 20th Century African American Resources''], Cincinnati Historical Society</ref>▼

Pada tahun 2002 Charles mendapat peringkat ke-13 dalam daftar 80 Petinju Terbaik selama 80 Tahun Terakhir yang dibuat oleh majalah ''The Ring''.
In 2006, Ezzard Charles was named the 11th greatest fighter of all time by the IBRO (International Boxing Research Organisation).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eastsideboxing.com/news.php?p=8921&more=1 |title=IBRO'S 25 Greatest Fighters of All Time |publisher=Eastsideboxing.com |access-date=May 8, 2014}}</ref>▼

<blockquote>"Cincinnati Cobra" adalah petinju ulung dengan kemampuan dan kecakapan yang luar biasa. Dia cepat, lincah, tangannya cepat dan gerak kakinya sangat bagus. Charles memiliki pukulan jab sangat bagus dan merupakan petinju dengan pukulan kombinasi yang hebat. Pada puncak kariernya dia bertinju di kelas berat-ringan. Rekornya sangat mengesankan. Menghadapi petinju papan atas seperti Archie Moore, Charley Burley, Lloyd Marshall, Jimmy Bivins, dan Joey Maxim dia memiliki catatan 16-2 yang mengesankan. Kendati dia sebenarnya petinju kelas berat-ringan, dia memenangkan gelar kelas berat dan berhasil mempertahankan gelar sebanyak 9 kali. Hampir 25% dari yang punya hak suara memilih menempatkan Charles dalam daftar 10 teratas. Setengah mereka menempatkannya dalam daftar 15 teratas. Dua pertiga dari mereka memasukkannya dalam daftar 20 teratas.</blockquote>
Muhammad Ali dalam autobiografinya mengatakan, "Ezzard Charles
