'''Henry Jackson Jr.''' (December 12, 1912 – October 22, 1988) was an American professional [[Boxing|boxer]] and a world boxing champion who fought under the name '''Henry Armstrong'''. He is the only fighter to ever hold world championships in three divisions ([[featherweight]], [[lightweight]] and [[welterweight]]) simultaneously.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Henry Armstrong |url=http://www.ibhof.com/pages/about/inductees/modern/armstrong.html |access-date=2025-03-04 |website=www.ibhof.com}}</ref>

Armstrong was one of the few fighters to win titles in three or more different divisions: featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight. He defended his welterweight title a total of nineteen times.

[[The Ring (magazine)|''The Ring'' magazine]] named him [[The Ring magazine Fighter of the Year|Fighter of the Year]] in 1937. The [[Boxing Writers Association of America]] (BWAA) named him [[Sugar Ray Robinson Award|Fighter of the Year]] in 1940. He is currently ranked by [[BoxRec]] as the 12th-greatest [[pound-for-pound]] fighter of all time.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://boxrec.com/en/ratings?r%5Brole%5D=proboxer&r%5Bsex%5D=M&r%5Bdivision%5D=&r%5Bcountry%5D=&r%5Bstance%5D=&r%5Bstatus%5D=&r_go=|title=BoxRec ratings: world, pound-for-pound, active and inactive|access-date=13 July 2020|publisher=BoxRec}}</ref> In 2007, ''The Ring'' ranked Armstrong as the second-greatest fighter of the last 80 years.<ref name="eisele">{{cite web|url=http://boxing.about.com/od/history/a/ring_80_best.htm|title=''Ring Magazine's'' 80 Best Fighters of the Last 80 Years|author=Andrew Eisele|publisher=[[About.com]] Sports|access-date=2016-07-15|archive-date=2017-01-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170108035508/http://boxing.about.com/od/history/a/ring_80_best.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref> Boxing coach and commentator [[Teddy Atlas]] considers Armstrong to be the greatest of all time.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSe5CeP3Ht4 | title=The Greatest Boxer of All Time - Henry Armstrong, Says Teddy Atlas - Here's Why He's the GOAT | website=[[YouTube]] }}</ref> Historian [[Bert Sugar]] also ranked Armstrong as the second-greatest fighter of all time.

==Early life==
He was born Henry Jackson Jr. on December 12, 1912, in [[Columbus, Mississippi]]. He was the son of Henry Jackson Sr., a [[sharecropper]] of [[African American]] descent and America Jackson, said to be a "full-blooded" Iroquois.{{cn|date=March 2025}} As a child, Henry Jr. moved with his family to [[St. Louis, Missouri]], during the early period of the [[Great Migration (African American)|Great Migration]] of African Americans from the rural South to industrial cities of the Midwest and North. There he became involved in boxing. He graduated as an honor student from [[Vashon High School]] in St. Louis<ref name="fame"/> Later he took the surname Armstrong as his fighting name.

==Early career==
Armstrong began his professional career on July 28, 1931, in a fight with Al Iovino, in which Armstrong was knocked out in three rounds. His first win came later that year, beating Sammy Burns by a decision in six. In 1932, Armstrong moved to Los Angeles, where he lost two four-round decisions in a row to Eddie Trujillo and Al Greenfield. Following these two losses, however, he started a streak of 11 wins.<ref name="BoxRec">{{cite web|url=http://boxrec.com/en/boxer/009018|title=BoxRec: Henry Armstrong|access-date=16 April 2018}}</ref>

In 1936, Armstrong split his time among Los Angeles, Mexico City and St. Louis. A few notable opponents of that year include Ritchie Fontaine, Baby Arizmendi, former world champion [[Juan Zurita]], and Mike Belloise.<ref name="BoxRec" /> Early in his career, he fought some fights under the ring name '''Melody Jackson'''.<ref name="UPIObit">{{cite news|last1=Ryan|first1=James|title=Boxer Henry Armstrong dead at 75|url=https://www.upi.com/Archives/1988/10/25/Boxer-Henry-Armstrong-dead-at-75/2193593755200/|access-date=16 April 2018|agency=UPI|language=en}}</ref>

In 1937 alone, Armstrong went 27–0 (26KO). Aldo Spoldi was the only opponent to take him the full 10 rounds. He knocked out Baby Casanova in three rounds, Belloise in four, Joe Rivers in three, former world champion [[Frankie Klick]] in four, and former world champion [[Benny Bass]] in four.<ref name="BoxRec" /> Armstrong was given his first world title fight, for the title in the 126-pound weight class against World [[Featherweight]] Champion [[Petey Sarron]] at [[Madison Square Garden (1925)|Madison Square Garden]]. Armstrong knocked Sarron out in six rounds, becoming the World Featherweight Champion.<ref name="BoxingDictBio">{{cite book|last1=Grasso|first1=John|title=Historical Dictionary of Boxing|date=2014|publisher=The Scarecrow Press, Inc.|location=Lanham, Maryland|isbn=978-0810878679|pages=44–45}}</ref>

Armstrong's two nicknames were ''Hurricane Henry'' and ''Homicide' Hank''.<ref name="ha">{{cite web|url=http://www.henryarmstrong.net/BIOGRAPHY.html|title=Biography of Henry Armstrong|author=Armstrong Family|access-date=2009-04-16|year=2009|publisher=Official Henry Armstrong website|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090511003744/http://www.henryarmstrong.net/BIOGRAPHY.html|archive-date=2009-05-11|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 1938, Armstrong started his season with seven more knockouts in a row, including one over [[Chalky Wright]], a future world champion. The streak finally ended when Arizmendi lasted ten rounds before losing a decision to Armstrong in their fourth fight. Armstrong's streak of 27 knockout wins in a row qualifies as one of the longest knockout win streaks in the history of boxing, according to ''[[The Ring (magazine)|The Ring]]'' magazine.{{citation needed|date=September 2016}}

Later in 1938, Armstrong, still the Featherweight division world champion, challenged [[Barney Ross]] for the title. Later a fellow member of the three division champions' club, Ross was then World [[Welterweight]] Champion. Armstrong, at {{frac|133|1|2}} pounds, beat Ross, at 142 pounds, by unanimous decision, adding the World Welterweight Championship to his belt. Armstrong lost weight in order to compete in the lower weight division, and beat World [[Lightweight]] Champion [[Lou Ambers]] by split decision. Armstrong was the first boxer ever to hold world championships in three different weight divisions at the same time. He decided not to maintain the required 126-pound weight anymore and left the featherweight crown vacant.<ref name="BoxingDictBio" />

==Welterweight defenses==
Armstrong dedicated the next two years to defending the welterweight crown, beating, among others, [[Ceferino Garcia]], a future World [[Middleweight]] Champion, and [[Bobby Pacho]].

Armstrong defended his Lightweight belt in a rematch with Ambers, which he lost on a 15-round decision. After that, he concentrated once again on defending the world Welterweight title. He defended it in eight fights in a row, the last of which was a nine-round knockout win over [[Puerto Rico]]'s [[Pedro Montañez]].

Armstrong sought to become the first boxer to win world titles in four different categories in a rematch with Garcia, already the World Middleweight Champion, but the fight ended in a ten-round draw. Armstrong's attempt to win a world title in a fourth division was frustrated.<ref>{{cite web|title=Henry Armstrong: Goes for Four Divisions|url=https://www.boxingscene.com/henry-armstrong-goes-four-divisions--12843|website=BoxingScene.com|date=26 February 2008 |language=en-us}}</ref> According to boxing historian [[Bert Sugar]], many commentators of the time said that Armstrong deserved the decision in this fight.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Ceferino_Garcia_vs._Henry_Armstrong_(2nd_meeting)|title = Ceferino Garcia vs. Henry Armstrong (2nd meeting) – BoxRec}}</ref>
[[File:Henry Armstrong (Boxer).jpg|thumb|Armstrong (right) demonstrating some boxing techniques to a US Army member during an exhibition tour in 1943.]]
Returning to the welterweight division, Armstrong successfully defended the title five more times, until [[Fritzie Zivic]] beat him to take the world title in a 15-round decision. This ended Armstrong's reign as Welterweight Champion. Armstrong's eighteen successful title defenses were the most in history in the Welterweight division.{{citation needed|date=September 2016}}

In 1945, Armstrong retired from boxing. His official record was 152 wins, 21 losses and 9 draws, with 101 knockout wins.<ref name="BoxRec" />

==After boxing==
After retiring from boxing in 1946, Armstrong briefly opened a Harlem nightclub, the Melody Room (named after his first nickname).<ref>{{cite book|last1=Haygood|first1=Wil|title=Sweet thunder the life and times of Sugar Ray Robinson|date=2011|publisher=Lawrence Hill Books|location=Chicago|isbn=978-1569768648|page=114|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Q_nfLUMzlM0C&q=%22melody%20room%22%20henry%20armstrong&pg=PA114}}</ref> He returned to settle again in [[St. Louis, Missouri]] where, apart from the ceremonies and galas that he attended afterward, he led a quiet retirement. He became a [[born-again Christian]] and an ordained [[Baptist]] minister and youth advocate, helping to run the Herbert Hoover Boys Club. He also taught young fighters how to box.<ref name="UPIObit" /> In February 1966, Rev. Armstrong appeared on the TV game show [[I've Got a Secret]] with his simultaneous triple championship as his secret. He died in 1988.
