Ticked: Sports Events Recap Clip, 7.6 (Sports1)
Boxer Cheranka Johnson is currently struggling to retain her world heavyweight title, but it's doubtful that what happens in the fight will make as much public wave as the weigh-in the night before. As is tradition, the contestants show up for a pre-fight weigh-in to make sure they are in the right weight range, and Johnson, a New Zealander representing Australia, stole the show.
Johnson, 28, nicknamed "Sugar Drains," arrived at the weigh-in in London on Friday night naked on her upper body, with her chest painted white with the words "Unlippans," to promote her social media page. While her rival Ellie Scotney kept her composure and didn't let the unusual situation affect her, Johnson enjoyed the moment and spread smiles everywhere.

Johnson arrives at the decisive battle in London with a terrific 1:15 career record. She will try to keep the championship belt she won last year, which she dedicated to her brother who a month earlier was stabbed to death in Australia.
