Biography(references)As a result of his violent father's drug and alcohol abuse, Cejudo's family constantly moved around the Los Angeles area. Four-year-old Henry and the rest of the children with her, Nelly fled to New Mexico before Jorge — who was jailed after threatening to kill his whole family and subsequently getting into an altercation in the street — was released. In Phoenix, the family lived in Maryvale in poverty despite their mother working multiple jobs to make the ends meet. Cejudo also never slept alone in his own bed until he was provided one by USA Wrestling while participating in a residency program at the US Olympic Training Center in Colorado. Henry also started competing as an amateur boxer, and won the annual state Copper Gloves boxing tournament in 2010 in Phoenix, Arizona.
Fighter Trivia(references)Cejudo and his wife Karolina have a daughter, America .
