Showmasters Admin Massive Events Posted May 7, 2009 Showmasters Admin Share Posted May 7, 2009 Johnny Nelson was the WBO Cruiserweight World Champion, a title he gained on 27 March 1999 by defeating Carl Thompson. He has also previously fought for the WBU & WBF Cruiserweight title which he won but then later gave them up. His fight record is 45 wins (29 by knockout), 12 losses and 2 draws. Nelson has had a number of high profile fights however his next bout was scheduled to be a defining fight as it was against the hot prospect Welshman Enzo Maccarinelli for the WBO Cruiserweight title. The fight would have taken place on the undercard for the Joe Calzaghe vs. Jeff Lacy WBO/IBF unification bout but an injury picked up by Johnny forced the fight to be cancelled. Nelson announced his decision to retire from professional boxing on 22 September 2006. Johnny will be appearing Saturday only! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
