Cherneka Johnson Dominates in Bantamweight Title Defense
Alright, fight fans, let’s talk about the electrifying showdown that just took place! Australian boxing sensation Cherneka Johnson has successfully defended her WBA bantamweight title in a dominant fashion, leaving no room for doubt this time around. Facing off against Britain’s Nina Hughes in a highly anticipated rematch, Johnson showcased her power, precision, and determination to solidify her reign as champion.
Now, let’s rewind a bit. You might remember their last encounter back in May—an intense fight that ended in controversy when the ring announcer mistakenly declared Hughes the winner before correcting himself. That chaotic moment left Hughes furious, vowing to reclaim her title. But Johnson had a different plan. She wasn’t about to let history repeat itself.

Fast forward to their rematch at Sydney’s Qudos Bank Arena, and Johnson came in with one goal—to leave no doubts. From the opening bell, she was relentless, applying pressure and landing clean, powerful shots that kept Hughes on the back foot. It was clear that Johnson was in complete control, using her size, strength, and sharp technique to dominate the fight.
By the seventh round, it was all over. Just 46 seconds into the round, Hughes' corner threw in the towel, unable to watch their fighter take any more damage. And just like that, Johnson secured a TKO victory, improving her record to an impressive 17 wins from 19 professional fights. Talk about making a statement!
After the fight, Johnson couldn’t hide her excitement. She knew she had delivered exactly what she had envisioned—a clear, decisive win. “Never in doubt,” she confidently declared. She credited her strategy of controlling the fight, closing the gaps, and using her strength to overwhelm Hughes. “Obviously, I’m the bigger, stronger girl in bantamweight, and just adding those extra punches got the job done.”
It was a masterclass performance from Johnson, proving why she’s a force to be reckoned with in the bantamweight division. But the night of thrilling boxing wasn’t over yet. Australian featherweight Skye Nicolson was set to defend her WBC title, adding even more excitement to an already electric evening of fights.
Cherneka Johnson has not only defended her title—she has cemented her status as a dominant champion. With this victory, the question now is: who’s next? One thing’s for sure—whoever steps up will have a serious challenge ahead of them.
