Johnson is plotting a December ring return
The Boston boxer wants a swift return to action following Saturday’s IBF light heavyweight world title defeat to Russian Artur Beterbiev.
While there may be some whispers about a re-match, Johnson says his only focus is on getting another opportunity to fight for a title, and this time taking his chance.
“It was a great fight,” he said.

“People are talking about a re-match, they want to see it.
“But I don’t know what’s next. We’ll have to wait and see.
“I’m still British champion and I might have to defend that.”
But whatever is up next, Johnson hopes to be at it again within a couple of months’ time as his hunger grows greater than ever.
“I’m hoping to be back in the ring by December and then have a big year,” he added.
“These are exciting times. I believe 2018 was the making of my career and 2019 will be when I really make my mark.”
