The 28-year-old New Zealander-born Johnson, who hopes to retain her title as world rooster champion, posed for the traditional weigh-in and got the attention when he showed up in the bold look, slightly embarrassing those in attendance.
Footage posted on Matchroom Boxing's Twitter page showed Johnson's title rival, Ellie Scotney, keeping her composure, turning her head and not letting the embarrassing and unusual moment affect her, while Johnson enjoyed every moment and spread smiles everywhere.
