Thorslund now has the opportunity to dethrone Johnson as undisputed world champion, as they meet in the ring to settle their rivalry in a 10-round championship bout at 118lbs. "I truly believe everything happens for a reason, and for this fight to come together the way it has makes it even more exciting! Now is my time to show what I am truly capable of," said Johnson. "This is the fight I always knew would bring out the best version of me, and I plan to do exactly that - take my belts home, take her pound-for-pound ranking, and claim the bantamweight queen title." Undefeated Thorslund said: "I've been waiting for this fight since I had to give up my two world titles due to an unexpected pregnancy. Sadly, I lost the baby, and with that I not only lost the family I had dreamed of, but also the titles I gave up for it. That experience has given me an even stronger hunger to come back and reclaim everything that was once mine.
