Thorslund Claims Undisputed Crown At 118

Dina Thorslund moved to the top of ESPN's bantamweight rankings after beating Cherneka Johnson to capture the undisputed championship at 118 pounds.

The Danish fighter dominated Johnson across the distance to unify all four major belts, according to ESPN's updated divisional standings. Thorslund added Johnson's pieces to her existing collection and now sits alone atop the weight class in the outlet's latest women's rankings.

Thorslund's Path To Undisputed Status

The victory completes a lengthy campaign for full recognition at bantamweight. Thorslund had held versions of the title for several years before securing the remaining hardware against Johnson, who entered with her own championship credentials.

ESPN's divisional rankings reflect the new pecking order following the unification bout. Johnson, who carried belts into the contest, drops from the top position after the loss.

The undisputed landscape at 118 pounds now revolves around Thorslund's next move. Several top contenders remain in ESPN's rankings without a clear mandatory challenger set for the four-belt champion.
