The New Zealand-born fighter now representing Australia is defending her IBF super bantamweight title against Ellie Scotney at London's Wembley Arena on Saturday,as part of the undercard toSunny Edwards' world title defence against Andres Campos.
But the day before, the 28-year-old world champion got the attention by turning up in the bold look that was emblazoned with the OnlyFans logo.
The weigh-in, posted on Matchroom Boxing's Twitter page, showed a stern-faced Eddie Hearn desperate to look away, despite being in the thick of the moment.
Scotney and Johnson squared up to each other during the pre-bout photoshoot, where they shared a stony face-off over the belt for which they are competing.
