Britain’s Nina Hughes felt she had been “robbed” after being incorrectly announced as the winner in her WBA bantamweight title fight against Cherneka Johnson.

The match in Perth, Australia concluded amidst farcical scenes as the ring announcer first called Hughes as the victor by a majority decision of the judges, before awarding the victory to her opponent.

Johnson was awarded the fight after with scores of 98-92, 96-94 with the final judge scoring it a draw. Cherneka Johnson beats Nina Hughes by MD.
