Johansson signed photo

Heavyweight Champion 1959-60

	While Johansson held the heavyweight crown only 359 days, this much can be said for him: His sensational kayo of Floyd Patterson on June 26, 1959, marked the end of an era in the division; an era of American domination. Ingo was the first European to win the heavyweight title since Carnera.
