Presumably he fought as an amateur before he turned professional in May 1951 at age 19 yrs.
( possibly under his real name, Michael Di Gianni)
If so who did he fight ?
Mike DeJohn Amateur record

Only fight I found of note was Mike DeJohn beat Joe Hudson (June 14. 1950) at Neahwa Park (Oneonta, NY).

Also:
4/19/50 KO2 Ed "Tiger" Delaney
9/17/50 W5 Al Chapman
11/9/50 KO1 Al Chapman
I believe he lost to Chapman once.
Also won another one I couldn't find.
