Showmasters Admin Massive Events Posted September 20, 2011 Showmasters Admin Share Posted September 20, 2011 We are pleased to announce that Johnny Nelson will be joining us for the Saturday at EMS! Nelson is a former professional boxer from Sheffield, England. He was the WBO Cruiserweight World Champion for over six years, having defeated Carl Thompson in 1999 and then successfully defended the title 13 times. He has also previously fought for the WBU & WBF Cruiserweight title which he won but then later relinquished. Nelson has had a number of high profile fights and his 14th defence of his WBO cruiserweight title was scheduled to be against Welshman Enzo Maccarinelli on the undercard for the Joe Calzaghe versus Jeff Lacy WBO/IBF unification bout on 6 March 2006, but an injury picked up by Nelson forced the fight to be cancelled and Nelson announced his decision to retire from professional boxing a few months later on 22 September 2006. Also, don't miss your chance to get your photo taken with our 4 British World Champion Boxers all at the same time in their group photo shoot, available in the online shop and on the Saturday at the event!
