Mini Bio

There are a number of bouts included in the 1986 British Boxing Yearbook that are a regurgitation of entries originally included in the 1921 'Boxing' Book of Records. I am dubious about many of these contests and I suspect that they may not have taken place at all. Boxing historian Gilbert Odd wrote of Johnny "Round-headed and red-haired, he was on the short side, but was a genious at working his way past defensive props. Once inside he would be extremely busy with both fists, hooking to the body and upper-cutting to the chin. His face held a cheerful look, even under pressure, and as far as sportsmanship went, he was the perfect little gentleman".

Johnny will be remembered particularly for his contests with northerner Johnny Cuthbert and with fellow Lambeth boxer Phil Bond. Fight Record
