The Houston Chronicle reports that former middleweight and light heavyweight champion Reggie "Sweet" Johnson was sentenced to twelve years in prison by a Houston court. Johnson, 44-years-old, was convicted of taking more than a $100,000 dollars for summer boxing camps in 2007 and 2008, but the camps never materialized. Johnson's last fight was in February 2008 where he won a twelve round split decision over Julio Cesar Gonzalez.
