- 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. (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. (it)
