"Harold Johnson still is looking for fights. He wasn't in much of one Wednesday night. Johnson's entourage thinks he's being shunned because he's too good. If that's true, managers should be breaking down the door to get at him after the national televised display in Chicago Stadium. Johnson took a lopsided unanimous decision over gangling Howard King of Reno in an unimpressive 10 rounder." -Associated Press
- Johnson accepted this bout on six days notice replacing the ailing Sonny Liston.
