Start time, full card, odds tale of the tape<\/a><\/p>\nAnother Aussie fan favourite making a lot of noise is Skye Nicolson, who recently claimed an interim world title.<\/p>\n
Nicolson and Johnson have a friendship that goes back many years, but Sugar Neekz says they could also throw down.<\/p>\n
\u201cSkye and I have actually traveled the world together in the amateurs,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe trained at the same gym, and we actually fought a few times in the amateurs. You know, she\u2019s got a great platform with Matchroom, where she\u2019s doing great things, and she\u2019s chasing belts, and she\u2019s going through the divisions as well. <\/p>\n
\u201cShe might decide to come down to bantamweight, [and] obviously, I have all the belts down there. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf she decides to come down there and a fight is put to the table, you know, if it makes sense for my team and the promoters want to put it on, then, you know, we put it on.\u201d<\/p>\n
For Johnson, being undisputed champ doesn\u2019t just come with bragging rights – it comes with serious baggage. Literally.<\/p>\n
She says carrying all four of her world title belts around during fight week is no easy task.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt actually is hard work carrying all these belts around,\u201d she admitted.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very fortunate. My team help me carry them everywhere. But, yeah, I need extra luggage wherever I go on a flight to take them with me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the inconvenience, Johnson says the weight of the belts is a reminder of what she\u2019s achieved – and what she\u2019s determined to protect this weekend.<\/p>\n
\u201cI keep all the belts right next to my bed,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wake up to them every morning, and I remember how hard I work to get these and how much harder I\u2019m going to have to work to keep them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cherneka Johnson isn\u2019t holding back ahead of her title defence this weekend, warning her rival that if things…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":354732,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-354731","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354731","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=354731"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/354731\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/354732"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=354731"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=354731"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=354731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
