Dina Thorslund ends Cherneka Johnson's undisputed run to become world champion again after return following miscarriage

Dina Thorslund is a world champion again after ending Cherneka Johnson's undisputed run to cap an emotional return to the sport.

Just over a year after vacating her WBC and WBO bantamweight titles because she was pregnant, the undefeated Thorslund fought aggressively from the start to snatch the WBC, WBO, WBA and IBF titles from Johnson, winning every round in a unanimous decision in the main event of MVPW-5 in Orlando, Florida.

Thorslund (25-0, nine KOs) vacated her titles in June 2025, and a month later she announced on social media that she had suffered a miscarriage.

She returned to the ring in January and defeated Almudena Alvarez to capture the vacant WBC interim featherweight title. Then Thorslund, who is 32 years old and from Denmark, dropped back to bantamweight to fight for the undisputed championship.
