Ingemar Johansson vs Floyd Patterson II
-
Ingemar Johansson chocked the world as he became the first European to win the Heavyweight Championship of the World in 25 years, he now defends it against former champion, Floyd Patterson. Probably for its significance, rather than its entertainment values, this second meeting would be called Fight of the Year for 1960.
