Ep 30: Reggie "Sweet" Johnson - Former World Light-heavyweight Boxing Champion

MIDDLEWEIGHT & LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION

Today’s guest on About Nashville is former world boxing champion Reggie Sweet Johnson who held both the WBA Middleweight and IBF Light-Heavyweight titles. His tie to Nashville is his boxing manager, Bob Jordan, who also managed me for a short time in my own boxing career.

We talked about how he got into boxing, his winning two world championships, how he dealt with bad politics in the sport, his showdowns with legendary boxers like James Toney and Roy Jones Jr. and he spoke candidly  about his 12 year prison sentence for a crime he says he didn’t commit.
