Reggie "Sweet" Johnson Fought His Way to Titles

Only a handful of people know what it takes to face, surpass and overwhelm opponents fighting for the chance to become a world boxing champion. Reggie “Sweet” Johnson has thrived and achieved this feat not once, not twice but three times in world championship boxing.

Reggie won titles in the middleweight and light heavyweight divisions—1 of only 8 men to do so in these two weight categories--with multiple title defenses as noted by The Ring.

• Reggie won the IBA Light Heavyweight title in a split decision over Julio Cesar Gonzalez, Feb. 23, 2008, in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
  
  
• Knocked out William Guthrie in the fifth round with a one-punch knockout to win the IBF Light Heavyweight Title, Feb. 6, 1998, in Uncasville, Connecticut.
  
  
• Won a majority decision over Steve Collins for the WBA Middleweight Title, April 22, 1992, in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
  
  
• Won the USBA Inter-Continental Middleweight Title stopping Ismael Negron with a TKO in the 11^th round Feb. 4, 1990, in Paradise, Nevada.
  
  
• Defeated Israel Cole on points for the WBA Inter-Continental Middleweight title Sept. 12, 1989, in Inglewood, California.

A skilled southpaw with punching power, heart and drive like no other, Reggie has never side stepped an opponent and fought current or former world champions: Roy Jones Jr., William Guthrie, Jorge Castro (twice in Argentina), John David Jackson, "Irish" Steve Collins, Lamar Parks, Ole Klemetsen, Antonio Tarver, Julio Gonzalez, Ki Yun Song, Charles Oostuizen and James Toney. 

With three world titles comes responsibility and Reggie answers calls to speak to schools, churches, prisons, youth homes, retirement centers, and homeless shelters with motivational talks with members.

Reggie has plenty to share through stories of his personal fight to reach his goals in one of sport’s toughest games. While there, Reggie signs boxing gloves, photos, T-shirts and boxing memorabilia to aid fundraising efforts when needed.

Reggie fields requests for a wide range of appearances at local, national and international boxing, VIP, sports and entertainment events.
