Johnson (19-2) is a former IBF super bantamweight champion. The Melbourne-based New Zealander beat Shurretta Metcalf last July to become undisputed.
Stepping in when Thorslund got pregnant, Johnson aims to beat the woman who never truly lost gold to secure her status as champion.
"Now is my time to show what I am truly capable of," said Johnson. "This is the fight I always knew would bring out the best version of me, and I plan to do exactly that — take my belts home, take her pound-for-pound ranking, and claim the bantamweight queen title."
One of the most dominant fighters at 118, Thorslund (24-0) held super bantamweight gold before winning bantamweight gold in 2021. The Danish fighter relinquished the WBC and WBO titles due to her pregnancy.
Competing for the first time since 2024 in January and winning featherweight gold, Thorslund returns to bantamweight in an attempt to regain her former glory.
"I’ve been waiting for this fight since I had to give up my two world titles due to an unexpected pregnancy. Sadly, I lost the baby, and with that I not only lost the family I had dreamed of, but also the titles I gave up for it. That experience has given me an even stronger hunger to come back and reclaim everything that was once mine," said Thorslund.
