Will be main fight in the card promoted by Most Valuable Promotions.
Johnson won the undisputed title on July last year, stopping Shurretta Metclaf in round nine.
"I truly believe everything happens for a reason, and for this fight to come together the way it has makes it even more exciting!" Johnson said. "Now is my time to show what I am truly capable of. 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."
Thorslund had relinquished her WBO and WBC title after announcing she was pregnant with her second child.
The undefeated Danish fighter suffered a miscarriage and decided to return to the ring in January, scoring a wide unanimous decision win over Almudena Alvarez.
"I know for certain this is going to be an incredible fight for the fans to watch," Thorslund said in a statement. "Cherneka Johnson always comes into the ring in great shape, and she'll definitely need to be at her absolute best against me, because I'm returning with a level of motivation I've never had before. Part of it is sporting ambition, but for me, this is also deeply personal."
