    Wilbert "the vampire" Johnson

    I heard about this guy back in the eighties,and so the story goes he used to get carried into the ring in a coffin.

    Does anybody have any info/pics of this fighter?

      I couldn't find any youtube video's but he did come out in a coffin many times.

      I have a couple of his fights I might be able to upload if I have the time.

      from boxrec



      Missing his two front teeth, Johnson was carried to the ring in a coffin, and rose out wearing a black cape and smiling his 'Vampire Smile' at the fans.

      3/6/81 Johnson was the first man to defeat future light-heavyweight champion Donny Lalonde in Winnipeg, Canada. Lalonde gained revenge in a return bout and stopped Johnson in the second round.

      4/25/81 Johnson knocked out Dan Kiser in Sikeston, Missouri causing Kaiser's leg to be broken as he crashed to the canvas.

      After he quit boxing, Johnson became a bus driver in his home town of Middletown, Ohio.
