Cherneka Johnson Will Defend Titles on Paul vs. Davis Card: Galle on the Lookout

Changes in the Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis fight card: Cherneka Johnson replaces Ellie Scotney

A setback in the training of Ellie Scotney, unified junior featherweight champion, has led to her withdrawal from the fight against Mayelli Flores, holder of the WBA title. This change comes on the eve of the expected clash between Jake Paul and Gervonta Davis, scheduled for November 14th. Faced with this situation, Most Valuable Promotions has announced that Cherneka “Sugar Neekz” Johnson, undisputed women’s bantamweight champion, will defend her titles against Amanda Galle. This fight will be the main event of the preliminary card.

“Sugar Neekz” Johnson is ready to become the first undisputed Australian champion to defend her titles in the four-belt era, while Amanda Galle, the top Canadian contender at 118 pounds, has the opportunity to make a name for herself globally and become the first undisputed Canadian-born champion,” stated Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder and CEO of Most Valuable Promotions.

The promoter hopes to reschedule Scotney’s fight as soon as possible, wishing him a speedy recovery.

I’m excited to get back in the ring before the end of the year! It’s been a while since I’ve been this active, and I love it. I can’t wait to be part of the big Jake Paul vs. Tank Davis card, showcase the improvements we’ve been working on, and take my belts home. Amanda Galle approached me after my fight against Shurretta Metcalf in New York, showed respect and said she wants what I have, I can’t blame her, I’d be chasing all the belts too.

Johnson comes into this defense after her technical knockout victory in the ninth round against Metcalf in July, which made her the first undisputed Australian champion in the four-belt era. Her first defense will pit her against an undefeated Canadian who will be looking to cause an upset.

I’ve invested my time! I’ve been in the shadow of these big names, working in silence and I’ve earned a place at the table. The best promotion in the world has included me in its list and I want a chance against the best. I am the undisputed bantamweight champion. Canada knows it, the world is about to know it!

In her most recent fight, Galle obtained a unanimous decision over Alondra Hernandez in September.
