But the 28-year-old garnered attention 24 hours before her competition when she showed up at a weigh-in with what seemed to be only white body paint on her torso. She posed for a picture with her rival Scotney hours after announcing her OnlyFans account. She did so while posing for a picture with OnlyFans actress and Misfits boxer Elle Brooke.

Internationally recognized Australian boxer Johnson, who was born in New Zealand, was motivated by fellow world champion Ebanie Bridges, who has her own OnlyFans account.
Bridges praises the attendees’ audacious choice of attire for the weigh-in. “We Australians really know how to challenge @EddieHearn at the weigh-ins,” she remarked. Johnson has a 15-1 record as a pro after switching from amateurs in 2016. Her lone defeat came in March 2021 when Shannon O’Connell defeated her in a split decision.
Sunny Edwards’ world title defense versus Andres Campos will have Johnson and Scotney as the cards.
