Cherneka Johnson loses title after weighing in with body paint
IBF super bantamweight world champion Cherneka Johnson put her title and 15-1 record on the line against Britain’s Ellie Scotney at Wembley Arena this past Saturday.
The professional boxer known as Sugar Neekz is also a star on the paid subscription service OnlyFans.
Johnson stunned the audience gathered at the weigh-ins and those watching online when she showed up to hit the scale wearing bodypaint with the OnlyFans logo.
Immediately following the event, she posted on social media that she is collaborating with fellow boxer and OnlyFans star Elle Brook.

The next day however, the fight wasn’t in the champion’s favor and she would ultimately drop the title.
The judges awarded Scotney the title by way of unanimous decision with a score of 98-92, 98-92, 97-93.
