We just received the very sad news that former world light heavyweight champion Harold Johnson passed away this morning (Feb. 19th) at Nazareth Hospital in Philadelphia. He was 87 years old. Johnson, a stylish technician who fought the very best of his era during his 25-year professional career, won his first share of the title in 1961, unified the crown in 1962, compiled an overall record of 76-11, 32 KOs, and entered the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1993. He was not only one of Philly's very best, he was truly one of the very best boxers of all time.
