The bronze statue of boxing champion Ingemar 'Ingo' Johansson

Ingemar Johansson, known as 'Ingo', is a statue created by sculptor Peter Linde, commissioned after the death of Ingemar Johansson in 2009. The statue represents the winner of the world championship heavyweight boxing title from 1959 to 1960. The statue was completed in almost two years and was inaugurated on September 17, 2011, outside the Nya Ullevi arena in Göteborg.

Johansson defeated the highly ranked American Eddie Machen at the Nya Ullevi stadium in Göteborg before more than 53,000 spectators. The statue, made of bronze, stands on a base of granite and weighs 400 kilos.

Peter Linde won a design competition announced by Göteborgs stad just after Ingemar Johansson's death in 2009 to design the statue.
