Jens Ingemar "Ingo" Johansson (Swedish: [ˈɪ̌ŋː(ɛ)mar ˈjûːanˌsɔn]; 22 September 1932 – 30 January 2009) was a

Swedish professional boxer who

competed from 1952 to 1963. He held the world heavyweight title from 1959 to 1960, and was the fifth

heavyweight champion born outside the United States. Johansson won the title by

defeating Floyd Patterson via

third-round stoppage, after flooring

him seven times in that round. For this achievement, Johansson was awarded

the Hickok Belt as top professional athlete of the year—the

only non-American to do so in the belt's entire 27-year existence—and was named

the Associated

Press Male Athlete of the Year and Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year. Johansson also held the European heavyweight

title twice, from 1956 to 1958 and from 1962 to 1963. As an amateur he won a silver medal in the heavyweight division

at the 1952 Summer Olympics. He

affectionately named his right fist "toonder and lightning" for its

concussive power (it was also called "Ingo's bingo" and the

"Hammer of Thor"), and in 2003 he was ranked at No. 99 on The Ring magazine's list of the 100 greatest punchers of all

time.[3]
