Kirk Johnson was supposed to fight Lennox Lewis but was injuried just a few weeks before the fight. Vitali Klitshcko was fighting on the undercard and agreed to step in on short notice to fight Lewis.
Kirk Johnson was involved in a dispute with the Halifax police department and woundup winning a judgement against them for $1mil+ and hasn't fought since.
I always thought he could have been good enough to win a alphabet strap but his stock dropped after he outboxed Ruiz only to be QD'd for about 256 lowblows.
Anyone with any information on Tristian Judge?
What ever happened to Scotty olson?Wonder what Ken lakusta is doing these days.
Scotty is doing real well and I think he is into selling cars. Nice guy to be sure and a TV favorite from yesteryear who always gave 100%.![]()

I'm from his area and remember the case. He was driving in a rough end of town with tinted windows and texas plates. Police pulled him over and checked him out and released him. He sued claiming racism. Cops could see the color of his skin through tinted windows I guess.
Back in 1990 my brother in law was bouncing at a local bar and refused to let Kirk in without ID. Kirk came back with 4 friends and pulled the race card then. According to boxrec he was born in 72 which means he would have been 18 at the time. Which is underage here in NS.
Claims like his hurt the people with legitamate ones.
That's my rant for the day.
That being said, if he came back i'd probably still root for him, being local and all.![]()
The Kirk Johnson HRM Police thing was settled for 25,000 dollars as far as I know. Not 1 Million.
Yeah looks like the amount is out of wack according to Wiki
Johnson launched a protracted legal battle against the Police. During the enquiry Johnson claimed that he had his car stopped 28 times over five years while in Halifax. Johnson was awarded $10,000 in damages, in addition to $4,790 to cover his travel expenses. The police service was also ordered to create a scholarship in Johnson's name. It will be awarded annually to a student from North Preston.
Yeah, he just didn't have the fire anymore I think, he still had the talent to do something very decent though and I much respect a guy for stepping down when he doesn't feel it anymore rather than seeing him to the downfall or simply making a fool of himself because he's just huge like a mammoth and out of shape.
