BOXING stunner Cherneka “Sugar Neeks” Johnson has put her gruesome head injury behind her.
The Aussie fighter is preparing to fight Ellie Scotney in London on Saturday night.
Johnson will be entering the ring for the first time since being left with a horrific gash on her head last October.
The 28-year-old suffered the injury in the first defence of her IBF super bantamweight world title against Susie Ramadan.
Ramadan was twice deducted a point during the brutal bout as Johnson claimed a unanimous decision victory.
Photos from the fight showed Johnson with a deep cut on her forehead and she has now shown off her recovery on social media.

Johnson posted a pair of snaps of the cut as she laid in hospital after the fight, prompting one fan to hail her “tough”.
The stomach churning images show the extent of the injury, with blood still dripping down her face from the wound.
In addition to the pictures, Johnson also attached a clip of her healed forehead seven months on from the fight.
The video shows that the wound has closed up, leaving a small scar above the fighter’s eyebrow.
