Nina Hughes wants early date for Cherneka Johnson world title rematch
She had her first professional contest at the end of 2021 and won the WBA belt in Dubai less than a year later.
The first fight with Johnson took place in Perth, Australia, and Hughes expects to have to travel overseas again for her chance to regain her title.
“Obviously, I’d rather it be in England but it’s out of my hands. I’ve got to go wherever they arrange it,” she said.
Hughes, from Billericay in Essex, is hoping details for the bout can be confirmed in the next couple of weeks.
“When we’re out of camp, we try and spar a bit less but because we’ve had lots of potential dates [for a fight], we’ve had to stay ready and we’re sparring just in case that date comes along.
“It is hard when you haven’t got a date, you don’t want to peak too early.”
Looking back at the controversy of the Johnson fight, Hughes added: “It’s obviously disappointing and gutting, but it happens all the time no matter what level.
“From the amateurs to the professional ranks, it’s down to three judges at the end of the day, but I’ve got the opportunity now and want to get my world title back.
“We appealed after the fight to the WBA and they got five neutral judges from around the world to re-judge my fight and three out of the five had me winning.”
