Carl Johanneson (born 1 August 1978 in Leeds, United Kingdom) is super featherweight boxer.[1] His nickname, "Ingemar" is a nod to the famous Swedish boxer Ingemar Johansson.
Johanneson began his careeer in the United States, fighting a variety of journeyman-level competition with two exceptions -- he lost a split decision to Koba Gogoladze in 2003, and ended Harold Grey's career with a TKO in the 5th of 8.
Johanneson began fighting out of England less than a year later, beginning the British phase of his career by TKO'ing Carl Greaves in 3 rounds at Wembley Stadium for the WBF super featherweight title.[2]
In 2006, he beat Billy Corcoran to win the British super featherweight title.[3]
