INGEMAR JOHANSSON - THE FAMOUS BOXER FROM GOTHENBURG

In the summer of 1959, Ingemar Johansson, the 27 year old boxer from Gothenburg departed for the US to fight Floyd Patterson. I remember the fantastic atmosphere when Ingemar vas victorious and won the World heavyweight Championship - everyone in Sweden glued to their radios in the middle of the night What a feat for the stone-worker from Gothenburg.
