Kevin Johnson Boxing News

Many of my fans have been wondering where I’ve been since my fight against Vitali Klitschko, so I just want to let them know that the Kingpin is back and looking to conqueror the heavyweight division in 2010. First off, most of you don’t realize that I suffered a torn bicep in the 2nr [...]

by Chris Williams: I’ve seen a lot of bad offensive fighters in my day, but after seeing heavyweight contender Kevin Johnson’s performance against World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko last Saturday night, I would have to say that Johnson has the worst offensive skills than any of the current top 15 fighters in the [...]

By Jim Slattengren: To listen to previously unbeaten heavyweight contender Kevin Johnson (22-1-1, 9 KO’s) speak before Saturday night’s fight, you would think that Johnson was going to rip World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko’s head clean off his shoulders. At least you would have thought that Johnson, 30 was going to make a [...]

By Sean McDaniel: After last Saturday night’s fight between World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko and challenger Kevin Johnson, Wladimir Klitschko, the younger brother of Vitali, attempted to go over and separate Johnson and Vitali, both of whom were standing and looking as if they might continue to trade after the bell. However, no [...]

Johnson, 30, never was very competitive as he threw nothing but jabs all night long. By the 8th, Johnson began to tire out and absorb punishment [...]

By Jason Kim: In the main event in the card, World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (39-2, 37 KO’s) easily retained his heavyweight title with a one-sided 12 round unanimous decision over a mostly offensively reluctant Kevin Johnson (22-1-1, 9 KO’s).

By Dave Lahr: With the bout between World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (38-2, 37 KO’s) and challenger Kevin Johnson (22-0-1, 9 KO’s) at the PostFinance Arena, in Berne, Switzerland, I think we’re about to see the 38-year-old Vitali get old tonight and lose. It’s bound to happen sooner or later, because Vitali is [...]

By Erik Schmidt: At today’s weigh-in between World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (38-2, 37 KO’s) and unbeaten American challenger Kevin Johnson (22-0-1, 9 KO’s) in Berne, Switzerland, the 38-year-old Vitali took off Johnson’s sunglasses while they were standing face to face with each other.

By Scott Gilfoid: WBA heavyweight champion David Haye sounds a little jealous of the attention surrounding World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko’s bout against Kevin Johnson on Saturday, saying to the Daily Telegraph “It’s one of the weakest fights of recent times.

By Chris Williams: In one of the rare fights in which an opponent of the Klitschko brothers weighs nearly as much as them, unbeaten Kevin Johnson (22-0-1, 9 KO’s) weighed in at 242.5 for tomorrow night’s bout against World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (38-2, 37 KO’s) at the PostFinance Arena, in Bern, Switzerland.

By Peter Wells: Vital Klitschko 38-2(37) defends his WBC Heavyweight title for the 3rd time since his return to the ring, against Kevin Johnson 22-0-1(9). The American has a big task ahead of him and this will be his first big test. He may be 30 but hit his peak in his last fight earlier [...]

By Dave Lahr: On paper, the match-up between World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko and challenger Kevin Johnson looks like a mismatch in favor of the 38-year-old Ukrainian Vitali. Thankfully, the bout won’t take place on paper and will be inside of a square ring at the PostFinance Arena, Berne, Switzerland. To be sure, [...]

By Jason Kim: Unbeaten heavyweight contender Kevin Johnson (22-0-1, 9 KO’s) plans on trying to fight World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko (38-2, 37 KO’s) from the outside, saying to East Side Boxing “I can stand outside and box the hell out of Klitschko.” That’ll be interesting to see, because it runs counter to [...]

By Dennis Broadhurst: Now has come the point where we have to put Vitali Klitschko up there with the remembered, great fighters. I recently wrote two ranking articles on the heavyweight division and placed Klitschko as the 16th greatest heavyweight of all time in front of Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney. I feel that to [...]

By Jim Dower: Undefeated heavyweight contender Kevin Johnson (22-0-1, 9 KOs) made a statement last night, stopping prospect Devin Vargas (17-1, 7 KOs) in the 6th round at the Harrah’s Marina Hotel Casino, Atlantic City, in New Jersey. Vargas, 27, a 2004 Olympian for the United States, looked good in the first two rounds, outworking [...]

This is really starting to get ridiculous. First off, Valuev, aka Frankenstein has no business with the WBA title in the first place. He’s never beaten anyone in the top 10. Since winning the title, he’s defended it against John Ruiz, Monte Barrett, and Evander Holyfield. I mean, this is becoming [...]

Bronx, NY – The year 2009 is finally here and if it is anything like 2008, Joe DeGuardia’s Star Boxing is in for yet another extremely busy year in the boxing world.

Already approved for the vacant NABF Middleweight title, the [...]

WBA #7 heavyweight Kevin “Kingpin” Johnson (20-0-1, 7KO) fresh off his 5th round destruction of former heavyweight champion of the world Bruce Seldon (38-7, 34KO) was left speechless, a very uncommon occurrence for the colorful Johnson, upon hearing that fellow top 10 heavyweight contender David Haye (21- 1, 20KO) was still looking for an opponent [...]
