Johnny Jadick was a professional boxer whose career spanned over 14 years, from 1923 to 1937. Throughout his career, he fought in a total of 164 matches, with 99 wins, 57 losses, 8 draws, and 0 no-contests. Jadick had 16 knockout wins and lost 6 times via knockout. He won a total of one title and successfully defended it once.

Jadick made his debut in 1923 against Johnny Dougherty at the age of 15, and defeated Dougherty in the third round via knockout. Following his debut, Jadick went on to win six more consecutive fights, including one win via stoppage. He then faced Tony Canzoneri in 1932, after 93 professional fights, for the super-lightweight NBA title. Jadick defeated Canzoneri via a 10 round unanimous decision to become the world champion.

One of Jadick's career highlights was his fight against Tony Canzoneri on July 18, 1932, where he successfully defended the NBA super-lightweight title, winning the fight via a 10 round split-decision. During his career, he recorded wins over two Hall-of-Famers (Fritzie Zivic and Tony Canzoneri), Lew Raymond, Joe Glick, Tony Greb, Wildcat O'Connor, Pat Igo, and Joey Harrison.

Despite his impressive career, Jadick suffered a total of 57 losses, all of them in non-title bouts. He suffered his first loss against Steve Nitchie via a 6 round unanimous decision on May 12, 1924. He was stopped six times and lost 51 times via decision. His last professional fight was a non-title rematch against Mike Piskin, where Jadick lost the fight via a 10 round points decision.

Jadick retired from professional boxing with a record of 99-57-8, including 16 knockout wins, six losses via knockout, and one title win. Although Jadick's career had its ups and downs, his achievements inside the ring made him a respected boxer of his time.
