Cherneka Johnson on partnering up with Only*ans

Ahead of her upcoming title defense against Ellie Scotney this weekend, IBF world champion Cherneka Johnson recently opened up about her new business partnership with Only*ans. The 28-year-old Kiwi also explained why she partnered with the subscription-based content platform despite the risk of public criticism.

Johnson recently announced her partnership with Only*ans on her Instagram page and showed up to her recent weigh-in wearing a body paint top to promote her page. She also announced a collaboration with fellow pugilist Elle Brooke.

In a recent interview with Boxing Social, Cherneka Johnson discussed her Only*ans sponsorship and why she chose the platform to sponsor her. She stated:

"Partnering with OnlyFans is something new, something exciting. There'll be lots of behind-the-scenes content never seen before on my Instagram. There's going to be mixed emotions about it... It doesn't matter what anyone says."

She continued to explain the importance of sponsorship money, saying:

"To do this partnership with Only*ans is going to make life a whole lot easier, just with traveling, not working. Before all of this, I sort of lived week-to-week just to pursue my career in boxing. It's time to get ahead in the sport."
