- Tom Johnson (born Thomas Jackling; c. 1750 – 21 January 1797) was a bare-knuckle fighter who was referred to as the Champion of England between 1784 and 1791. His involvement in pugilistic prizefighting is generally seen to have coincided with a renewed interest in the sport. Although a strong man, his success was largely attributed to his technical abilities and his calm, analytical approach to despatching his opponents. But Johnson was less prudent outside the ring; he was a gambler and considered by many of his acquaintances to be an easy mark. He is thought to have earned more money from the sport than any other fighter until nearly a century later, but much of it was squandered. Johnson's first fight probably took place in June 1783 against Jack Jarvis, after he had unintentionally slighted the wagon driver and professional fighter. Jarvis challenged Johnson to fight him as a matter of honour, and was comprehensively beaten in the resulting match. Johnson's success encouraged him to take up the sport professionally. By June 1784 he had declared himself to be the champion, although whether of England or the world is uncertain. In the later years of his fight career, and for some time after it ended, he acted as a second for other prominent fighters and ran a public house. His dissipation outside the ring appears to have resulted in his decision to leave England for Ireland, where he continued to tutor other boxers but eventually resorted to gambling to earn a living. He died a broken man, both physically and financially. Johnson was inducted into the Pioneer category of the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1995. (en)
- Thomas Jackling, detto Tom Johnson (Derby, 1750 – Cork, 21 gennaio 1797), è stato un pugile britannico, campione del regno unito di pugilato dal 1783 al 1791. Dal 1750 al 1780 il pugilato inglese attraversò una fase molto oscura della sua storia. Incontri truccati e decisioni discutibili avevano caratterizzato molti degli incontri disputati fino ad allora. Tom Johnson è considerato colui che riportò onore e rispettabilità allo sport che James Figg aveva definito 50 anni prima la noble art. Molti storici lo definiscono un nuovo Jack Broughton. Conquistò il titolo, lasciato vacante dal pugile irlandese , nel 1783. Difese il titolo per quasi dieci anni contro una serie di agguerriti sfidanti. Nel 1789 sconfisse Isaac Perrin in un incontro memorabile al tal punto che la sfida fu ricordata con un'effigie su un medaglione di bronzo. Fu sconfitto, all'età di 40 anni, nel 1791 dal pugile Benjamin Brain, che divenne il nuovo campione. L'incontro sarebbe dovuto svolgersi un anno prima se Brain non avesse avuto problemi di salute.Dopo la sconfitta Tom si ritirò dalla carriera pugilistica. (it)
