Hughes began to celebrate before she was called back to the middle of the ring. Hennessey then announced Johnson as the winner. It was Hughes’ first professional loss of her career.

"I just don't get it," Hughes said after the drama, via Sky Sports. "How can they announce I had won and then change the scores? I thought I'd dominated early. I thought she won a few of the later rounds but I felt like I won it comfortably.

"I don't get how you can announce the winner and then change the scores. It's a joke. I feel like I've been robbed big time. There's got to be a rematch. I didn't lose that fight."
