Biography

Cherneka Johnson is a South African professional boxer competing in the super bantamweight division. Born on June 16, 1995, in Durban, she began boxing at the age of 12 at a local gym, inspired by a desire to succeed in a male-dominated sport. Johnson developed her skills in the amateur ranks, earning national recognition and several regional titles before turning professional in 2016.

She made an immediate impact in the pro ranks, compiling an impressive undefeated record with a series of stoppage victories. Johnson claimed the South African super bantamweight title in 2018 and later added the WBF Inter-Continental belt to her collection, demonstrating both power and technical poise.

In 2021, Johnson stepped onto the international stage by challenging for the IBO world super bantamweight title. Despite falling short, she earned praise for her resilience and ring craft. She continued to campaign at the top level, securing a notable unanimous decision win in late 2023 over a former world champion, which solidified her status as a leading contender.

Known for her disciplined footwork, effective jab, and calculated combinations, Johnson remains committed to pursuing a full world title. As of early 2025, she continues to train in South Africa, aiming to secure another world title opportunity and to elevate women’s boxing in her home country.
