Predominantly a bantamweight, he was a two-time British bantamweight champion and a one-time British Empire (Commonwealth) bantamweight champion. His professional fighting weight varied from {{convert|84|lb|kg stlb||abbr=on}}, flyweight, to {{convert|130|lb|kg stlb||abbr=on}}, featherweight.[1] Professional careerKing made his professional debut on 25 April 1926, when he beat Jim Costello. On 10 August 1931 he beat Pat Boy Gorman for the vacant BBBofC Northern Area bantamweight title. On 21 December 1931 he fought Dick Corbett for the BBBofC British Empire bantamweight title, and the vacant BBBofC British bantamweight title, at Kings Hall, Manchester. King lost the bout but would meet Corbett again on 10 October 1932, this time beating him and winning both titles.[2] He became a popular fighter and crowd-puller,[3] producing a twenty-one match undefeated run, losing his twenty second to Italian Domenico Bernasconi. On 12 June 1933 he successfully defended the British Empire bantamweight title against Canadian bantamweight champion Bobby Leitham, beating him on points.[4] On 3 July 1933 King fought Panama Al Brown in a losing effort for the IBU World bantamweight title. King almost knocked Brown out in the seventh round, but Brown managed to hold on for a points decision.[5] Years later Brown would comment on the power of the punch the Manchester man displayed.[6] On 12 February 1934 King met Dick Corbett for the third time, losing both his British and British Empire titles on points.[7] On 27 May 1935 King won his second British bantamweight title after defeating Len Hampston on points.[8] He would hold the British title for the next twelve years, though would only defend it twice, largely due to the outbreak of the Second World War. On 6 May 1936 King fought Nel Tarleton for the BBBofC British featherweight title, losing on points.[9] His first defence of the British bantamweight title was against Jackie Brown,[10] in front of a 20,000 strong crowd at Kings Hall, Manchester on 31 May 1937. King knocked Brown out in the thirteenth round.[11] His second defence was against Len Hampston at Headingley Rugby Ground, Leeds on 22 June 1938. Hampston was disqualified in the third round.[12] King continued to fight during and after the war but struggled to find any form. On 10 February 1947 he lost the British title to Jackie Paterson, after being knocked out in the seventh round.[13] Having lost his last five bouts, King retired shortly after. Second World WarDuring the Second World War King fought in the Royal Navy. He was aboard the King George V-class battleship HMS Prince of Wales when she was sunk by a Japanese air attack of Kuantan, in the South China Sea.[14] Notable bouts{{S-start}}| style="text-align:centr;" colspan="7"| |- style="text-align:centr; background:#e3e3e3;" | style="border-style:none none solid solid; "|Result | style="border-style:none none solid solid; "|Opponent | style="border-style:none none solid solid; "|Type | style="border-style:none none solid solid; "|Rd., Time | style="border-style:none none solid solid; "|Date | style="border-style:none none solid solid; "|Location | style="border-style:none none solid solid; "|Notes |- align=center |{{yes2}}Win |align=left|{{Flag icon|UK}} Len Hampston |{{small|DQ}} |{{small|3 (15)}} |{{small|1938-06-22}} |align=left|{{small|{{Flag icon|UK}} Headingley Rugby Ground, Leeds}} |align=left|{{small|Retained BBBofC British bantamweight title.}} |- align=center |{{yes2}}Win |align=left|{{Flag icon|UK}} Jackie Brown |{{small|KO}} |{{small|13 (15)}} |{{small|1937-05-31}} |align=left|{{small|{{Flag icon|UK}} Kings Hall, Manchester, Lancashire}} |align=left|{{small|Retained BBBofC British bantamweight title.}} |- align=center |{{no2}}Loss |align=left|{{Flag icon|UK}} Nel Tarleton |{{small|PTS}} |{{small|15}} |{{small|1936-05-06}} |align=left|{{small|{{Flag icon|UK}} Anfield, Liverpool}} |align=left|{{small|For BBBofC British featherweight title.}} |- align=center |{{yes2}}Win |align=left|{{Flag icon|UK}} Len Hampston |{{small|PTS}} |{{small|15}} |{{small|1935-05-27}} |align=left|{{small|{{Flag icon|UK}} Kings Hall, Manchester, Lancashire}} |align=left|{{small|Won vacant BBBofC British bantamweight title.}} |- align=center |{{no2}}Loss |align=left|{{Flag icon|PAN}} Panama Al Brown |{{small|PTS}} |{{small| 15}} |{{small|1933-07-03}} |align=left|{{small|{{Flag icon|UK}} Kings Hall, Manchester, Lancashire}} |align=left|{{small|For IBU World bantamweight title.}} |- align=center |{{yes2}}Win |align=left|{{Flag icon|CAN}} Bobby Leitham |{{small|PTS}} |{{small|15}} |{{small|1933-06-12}} |align=left|{{small|{{Flag icon|UK}} Olympia, Kensington, London}} |align=left|{{small|Retained BBBofC British Empire bantamweight title.}} |- align=center |{{yes2}}Win |align=left|{{Flag icon|UK}} Dick Corbett |{{small|PTS}} |{{small|15}} |{{small|1932-10-10}} |align=left|{{small|{{Flag icon|UK}} Kings Hall, Manchester, Lancashire}} |align=left|{{small|Won BBBofC British Empire bantamweight and vacant BBBofC British bantamweight titles}}.{{S-end}} References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_id=9924&cat=boxer|title=Statistics at boxrec.com|publisher=boxrec.com|date=31 December 2013|accessdate=1 January 2013}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://boxrec.com/en/event/119427/210891 |title=Johnny King vs. Dick Corbett 2|publisher=boxrec.com|date=|accessdate=27 December 2017}} 3. ^Harding p. 142 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://boxrec.com/en/event/16165/138844|title=Bobby Leitham vs. Johnny King|publisher=boxrec.com|date=|accessdate=27 December 2017}} 5. ^Harding p. 142 6. ^Wilson p. 67 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://boxrec.com/en/event/102335/222533|title=Johnny King vs. Dick Corbett 3|publisher=boxrec.com|date=|accessdate=27 December 2017}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://boxrec.com/en/event/128825/233298|title=Johnny King vs. Len Hampston|publisher=boxrec.com|date=|accessdate=27 December 2017}} 9. ^Wilson p. 67 10. ^{{cite news |title=King to Fight Brown |work=Leeds Mercury |date=16 December 1936 |accessdate=26 December 2017 |url=https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/bl/0000748/19361216/205/0009| via = British Newspaper Archive|subscription=yes}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://boxrec.com/en/event/105744|title=Jackie Brown vs. Johnny King|publisher=boxrec.com|date=|accessdate=27 December 2017}} 12. ^{{cite web|url= http://boxrec.com/en/event/128859/233345 |title= Len Hampston vs. Johnny King|publisher=boxrec.com|date=|accessdate=27 December 2017}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=http://boxrec.com/en/event/76466/128785 |title=Jackie Paterson vs. Johnny King|publisher=boxrec.com|date=|accessdate=27 December 2017}} 14. ^Middlebrook p. 48 Bibliography
