Johnny King was a member of the famous Collyhurst 'Three Musketeers' stable of Jackie Brown, Johnny King and Jock McAvoy during a period when Manchester hosted bouts on every night of the week, including Sundays. But, at his peak, after becoming British and Empire bantamweight champion in 1939, King volunteered for the Navy, survived the sinking of his ship The Prince of Wales by the Japanese in 1942 and then escaped to Australia from Singapore during its capture by the Japanese.
