Name: Jackie Johnson
Hometown: Everett, Washington, USA
Pro Boxer: Record

Division: Welterweight
Managers: Pete Moe, Lonnie Austin, Charley Cook

Exact date of birth unknown. Reported to have been 18-years-old by late 1925.

The Nov. 14, 1925 Wenatchee Daily World (Wenatchee, WA, USA) reported that Pete Moe had been Johnson's original manager.

Per the Bellingham American (Bellingham, WA, USA) newspaper of Nov. 20, 1926, p. 6, Johnson was in the New York area fighting as "Jimmie Jackie Johnson - the Everett Terror" - a welterweight. His manager at the time was Charley Cook, whose other clients included Eddie Huffman, George Lavine, Tommy Cello, and Abe Attell Goldstein.

Per the Nov. 25, 1928 Seattle Post-Intelligencer and the Seattle Daily Times, Johnson was from Everett, WA. By November 1928 he had returned to the Puget Sound area from a two-year boxing tour of the Eastern United States. Reportedly, he had fought in NYC, the southern United States, and eastern Canada during this time. These papers also said he had fought in Seattle "several years ago" in a semi-final. And that he had fought Madison Dix and Young George Dixon. (See a photo of him in these newspaper editions.)

Caution: This record may be a combination of two or more Jackie Johnsons of Washington state. But he is to be distinguished from the 1930s Ballard bantamweight of the same name.
