Marcellin "Marcel" Cerdan (Sidi Bel Abbes, 22 luglio 1916 – São Miguel, 28 ottobre 1949) è stato un pugile francese, soprannominato "Le bombardier marocain".Fu campione del mondo dei pesi medi dal 21 settembre 1948, sconfiggendo Tony Zale per abbandono all'11º round, al 16 giugno 1949, quando fu battuto per KOT al 10º round da Jake LaMotta. La International Boxing Hall of Fame lo ha ammesso fra i più grandi pugili di ogni tempo. Nel 2002 la rivista Ring Magazine lo ha inserito al 77º posto in una propria classifica degli 80 migliori pugili degli ultimi 80 anni. Nel 2001 e nel 2004 la medesima rivista lo ha collocato all'11º posto in una propria classifica dei migliori pesi medi della storia del pugilato.La sua vita è stata segnata da grandi successi sportivi, sociali e infine si è chiusa con una tragica morte.Cerdan nasce in Algeria da famiglia molto povera di origine spagnola. Il padre è un lavoratore a giornata e sua madre casalinga. Nel 1922, la sua famiglia si trasferisce da Sidi Bel Abbes a Casablanca e il giovane Marcel comincia a tirare di boxe a otto anni. Il 4 novembre 1934, a diciotto, disputa il primo incontro da professionista, nei pesi leggeri, battendo Marcel Bucchianeri ai punti in sei riprese, a Meknès, in Marocco. È la prima di un'incredibile serie iniziale di 47 vittorie consecutive. Il giovane Cerdan combatte molto in Marocco e Algeria ma anche in Francia, dove debutta alla Salle Wagram di Parigi. Con l'italiano Cleto Locatelli, il 5 maggio 1938 a Parigi, non va oltre la vittoria ai punti. Sale di categoria e diventa campione di Francia dei pesi welter battendo a Casablanca Omar Kouidri ai punti in dodici riprese. Tra i pugili sconfitti per knock-out si ricordano il belga Al Baker e l'ex campione di Francia Gustave Humery. Il 4 gennaio 1939, a Londra, subisce la prima sconfitta per squalifica al quinto round contro il britannico Harry Craster. Dopo di che riprende a vincere per altre 23 volte di fila.A Parigi, il 20 febbraio 1939, batte il campione europeo Saverio Turiello, senza titolo in palio costringendolo perciò a mettere in palio la cintura continentale, in un nuovo incontro. Il 3 giugno 1939, quindi, Marcel Cerdan conquista il titolo europeo dei welter, a Milano, battendo il pugile italiano ai punti in quindici riprese.
