Heavy weight boxing World Champion Ingemar ‘Ingo’ Johansson died last night, at the age of 76, in Stockholm, Sweden. Johansson became World Champ when he defeated Floyd Patterson June 26 1959 at Yankee Stadium in New York.

“The greatest of them all has moved on,” the Swedish Boxing Federation said on its website.

Johansson, who suffered from Alzheimer’s disease in his last years, passed away a little before midnight at home in Kungsbacka in southwest Sweden, his daughter Maria Gregner told news agency TT.

Rest in Peace!
