This Saturday, March 22, 2025, Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney, Australia will take place a very anticipated rematch between Cherneka Johnson and Nina Hughes-Walka driven by fierce competition, expectations about the height of the sky and the desire to redeem.

The current world champion of WBA Bantameight, Cherneka Johnson, will defend his title against a determinant claimant to repeal the result of their last meeting. At the age of 30, Johnson fights with a solid record of 16 wins (6 by KO) and only 2 losses. Her technical efficiency and relentless pressure of the ring established her as one of the most respected masters in her division.

Both fighters work intensively in their training camps. Hughes promises a more aggressive and tactical approach to avoid the distance of the fight, while Johnson intends to consolidate his dominance in a performance, which leaves no doubt as to its superiority.

In this electrifying competition, there will be a full pride, talent and competitive spirit at a full show. Will Hughes skip her loss, or maybe Johnson will confirm his status of the unquestioned master? The answer will be determined in the ring.
