Editing Jack Johnson (boxer) (section)

===Post-championship===
After losing his world heavyweight championship, Johnson never again fought for the world or colored heavyweight crowns. His popularity remained strong enough that he recorded for [[Ajax Records]] in the 1920s.<ref>{{cite book |title= American Record Labels and Companies – An Encyclopedia (1891-1943)|last1= Sutton|first1= Allan|last2= Nauck|first2=Kurt|year= 2000|publisher= Mainspring Press|location= Denver, Colorado|isbn= 0-9671819-0-9|pages= 3–4}}</ref> Johnson continued fighting, but age was catching up with him. He fought professionally until 1938 at age 60 when he lost 7 of his last 9 bouts, losing his final fight to Walter Price by a 7th-round TKO. It is often suggested that any bouts after the age of 40—which was a very venerable age for boxing in those days—not be counted on his actual record, since he was performing in order to make a living.<ref name="auto">{{cite web |url=http://www.cyberboxingzone.com/boxing/jjohn.htm |title=Cyber Boxing Zone – Jack Johnson |publisher=Cyberboxingzone.com |access-date=September 30, 2014}}</ref><ref name="auto1">{{YouTube|Fqod-seL8gw}}</ref>

He also indulged in what was known as "cellar" fighting, where the bouts, unadvertised, were fought for private audiences, usually in cellars or other unrecognized places. There are surviving photographs of one of these fights. Johnson made his final ring appearance at age 67 on November 27, 1945, fighting three one-minute exhibition rounds against two opponents, [[Joe Jeanette]] and John Ballcort, in a benefit fight card for U.S. War Bonds.<ref name="auto"/><ref name="auto1"/>
