Cherneka Johnson may be the undisputed bantamweight champion, but she admits Dina Thorslund still occupies the division's throne. They meet in a headline battle on MVPW-05 in Florida. Johnson won all four belts in 2025 after Thorslund vacated due to pregnancy.

Thorslund returns after a miscarriage, vowing to reclaim what she never lost. Emotions are high, especially after her sparring partner Raven Chapman suffered a brain bleed. Thorslund says she has deeper motivation and aims to stop Johnson.

Johnson, the first Australian to hold all four major titles, wants to defeat Thorslund for final validation. She says Thorslund has something she wants. Both fighters are contrasting characters; Thorslund fights outside Denmark/Germany for the first time.

MVP CEO Nikisa Bidarian praises both, calling Thorslund one of the best and Johnson one of the most marketable. He can't wait for the fight. The event is live on Sky Sports.
