It was to Jeff Mayweather that Ron expressed his desire to further his career by establishing a sponsor.

Jeff acted quickly by introducing him to business owner Devore Whitt, who became his sponsor as well as another father figure in his life. “It must have been God,” said Johnson “because he took all the stress off me and paid me to train. I now could concentrate on Boxing.”  Mr. Whitt was very instrumental in jump-starting Ron’s career.

At age 19, Ron turned professional when he signed with a management company NRAGE out of Philadelphia and started training with Floyd Mayweather Sr. His professional debut was on the same card as Winky Wright and Shane Mosley in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Casino & Resort.  In his first match, he scored a 4th round TKO.
