We are pleased to announce that JOHNNY NELSON will be attending Collectormania London. His autograph will be free to the first 1000 people through the door on the Sunday!!

 

Johnny Nelson is a former professional boxer from Sheffield, England. He 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. He agreed to come out of retirement at the age of 40 for a charity match against property developer Jos Battle.
