Ruling Could Cost Ingemar $1,000,000
A Stockholm court ruled Ingemar Johansson was a Swedish resident when he beat Floyd Patterson for the world heavyweight title in 1959. The decision, non appealable, may trigger over a million dollars in taxes and affects 1960 and 1961 title fights. U.S. tax claims total about a million with Sweden seeking $200,000. US has $640,000 of Johansson’s purses in escrow.
