Ingemar Johansson: Same Feel After Championship Win
Ingemar Johansson says being heavyweight champion changes little beyond more interviews and photos.

He plans three to four more years of boxing, eyes a possible return bout for around a million dollars, and channels earnings into his construction and earth-moving business. He also models clothes and earns endorsements.
