Taureano Dexter Johnson (variously known as Tureano, Toureano, Taureno, or Jhonson; born 12 February 1984) is a Bahamian professional boxer who held the WBC Silver middleweight title in 2015. As an amateur he qualified for the 2008 Olympics.

At the PanAm Games 2007 he lost to Diego Chaves 6:9. He rose to prominence with his effort against PanAm Champion Pedro Lima at the first Olympic qualifier where he lost a close bout. At the second qualifier he won the rematch 10:6 and qualified. He trains in Cuba under the guidance of coach Jesus Yu.

On February 9, 2019, Johnson faced Fernando Castaneda. The fight ended in a draw, with two judges scoring it 77-75, one for Johnson, one for Castenda, while the third one scored it 76-76.^[1]

In his next fight, Johnson fought Jason Quigley, ranked #5 by the WBC, #8 by the WBA and #14 by the IBF at middleweight. In a dominant performance, Johnson won the fight via ninth-round TKO.^[2]

In his next bout, Johnson fought WBC and WBO #1 and IBF #9 contender Jaime Munguia.^[3] The fight started off competitively, until the sixth round when Munguia caught Johnson with a vicious uppercut that caused a serious cut on Johnson's upper lip. The doctor decided to stop the fight after the end of the round, and Munguia was awarded the win.^[4]
