The Calor Gas engineer had his 1st fight at the December 2009 Next Generation show. Johnny dubbed 'Swift Smith' had a couple of injuries that put him out of action. He made a dramatic return to the ring after the injuries had healed up and had a spell of fights back-to-back week after week which resulted in winning four fights in three weeks. Johnny continued to stay on top form, training harder than ever even after two defeats at the highest amateur level for European title.
September 2014 saw Swift Smith win his first World Title at the Lords of the Ring event held in Belfast`s Ulster Hall. Smith had his first bout of 2015 during the Total Divas event held at the Holiday Inn on 29th March - it was a prestige match and Swift Smith won on points. Smith topped the fight card on Sunday 14th June at the Made in ProKick event and remains the WKN world champion.
