Джон Ричард Оуэнс (07.01.1956 — 04.11.1980) — боксёр-профессионал из Уэльса, более известный как Джонни Оуэн. За его хрупкий внешний вид называли 'Бионик' и 'Спичка из Мертира'. На протяжении своей короткой карьеры он был чемпионом Великобритании и Европы в легчайшем весе, став первым валлийцем в этом весе. Во время боя против Лупе Пинтора за его пояс чемпиона мира в легчайшем весе, Оуэн был отправлен в нокаут в двенадцатом раунде. Оуэн впал в кому и после семи недель, не приходя в сознание, скончался.

John Richard Owens (7 January 1956 – 4 November 1980) was a Welsh professional boxer who fought under the name Johnny Owen. His seemingly fragile appearance earned him many epithets, including the "Merthyr Matchstick" and the "Bionic Bantam". He began boxing at the age of eight and undertook a long amateur career, competing in more than 120 fights and representing Wales in competitions. He turned professional in September 1976 at the age of 20, winning his debut bout against George Sutton. Owen beat Sutton again in his sixth professional fight to win his first title, the vacant bantamweight title in the Welsh Area. rdf:langString

rdf:langString They came in their thousands. They braved the rain and chilling winds. Silent and patient, they awaited their turn to pay their respects to a fallen hero of the town of Tydfil the Martyr. They were the mourners who extended beyond the family, beyond the sporting world, beyond the town itself who were moved to grieve over the death of a brave young boxer.

rdf:langString Johnny (John Richard) Owen(s) (* 7. Januar 1956 in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales; † 4. November 1980 in Los Angeles, Vereinigte Staaten) war ein walisischer Bantamgewichtsboxer. Der mehrfache Profimeister des Vereinigten Königreiches, des Commonwealths und Europas gilt als einer der besten walisischen Boxer aller Zeiten. Er erlangte zusätzliche Berühmtheit dadurch, dass er an den Folgen seines einzigen Weltmeisterschaftskampfes gegen Lupe Pintor verstarb. Johnny Owen war für sein dürres, fast skelettartiges Aussehen bekannt, was durch seine stark abstehenden Ohren noch verstärkt wurde. Er wog bei einer Körpergröße von 5 Fuß 8 Zoll (175 cm) lediglich 50 kg. Seinem Erscheinungsbild verdankt er seine Spitznamen: „The Matchstick Man“ bzw. „Merthyr Matchstick“ oder auch „The Bionic Bantam“ („Streichholz-Mann“ bzw. „Streichholz aus Merthyr“). Da er keinen harten Punch hatte, bestand seine – sehr erfolgreiche – Boxtaktik darin, den Gegner mit einem Hagel von Schlägen einzudecken.

He turned professional in September 1976 at the age of 20, winning his debut bout against George Sutton. Owen beat Sutton again in his sixth professional fight to win his first title, the vacant bantamweight title in the Welsh Area. Owen challenged for the British bantamweight title in his tenth professional fight in 1977. He defeated champion Paddy Maguire in the eleventh round to win the title, becoming the first Welshman in more than 60 years to hold the belt. Owen recorded five further victories, including a defence of his British title against Wayne Evans, before meeting Paul Ferreri for the Commonwealth bantamweight title. He defeated the experienced Australian on points to claim the Commonwealth title and challenged Juan Francisco Rodríguez for the European title four months later. The fight in Almería, Spain, was shrouded in controversy and Owen suffered his first defeat in a highly contentious decision. Owen went on to win seven consecutive bouts within a year to rechallenge Rodríguez in February 1980. He avenged his earlier defeat by beating Rodríguez on points to win the European title. He challenged World Boxing Council (WBC) champion Lupe Pintor for his world bantamweight title on 19 September 1980, losing the contest by way of a twelfth round knockout after being knocked down for the third time. Owen left the ring on a stretcher and never regained consciousness. He fell into a coma and died seven weeks later in a Los Angeles hospital at the age of 24. Owen possessed a professional career record of 25 wins (11 by knockout), 1 draw and 2 defeats. His only career losses came against Rodríguez and Pintor. He remains revered in the South Wales Valleys where he was raised, particularly in his hometown of Merthyr Tydfil where a statue commemorating his life and career was unveiled in 2002.
