(Lookout! Atlantic Boxing vs Free Agent)
Intro:
The BBU bantamweight title is on the line, Jennifer Metcalfe challenges the champ Helen Flanagan, who is making her first defence after one of the upsets of the year when she dethroned Lea Seydoux, does her run end tonight though?
Jennifer is 34 years old, stands 5'6 and holds a record of 13 wins, 12 by knockout and 11 defeats.
Helen is 28 years old; stands 5'3 and holds a record of 16 wins, 15 by knockout and 17 defeats, this is her first BBU bantamweight title defence.
Both met at the press conference for the PPV and squares up to each other with cool confident smiles, Helen raising the title so it bumped into the jugs of Jennifer didn't go unnoticed as Jen stared down at the cocky champ.
Who didn't look happy when Jennifer turned around when photos were supposedly taken of the face off, with Jennifer's hair whipping into the face of the champ to make Helen's face turn red with embarrassment.
Both kept calm long enough to sit down at their tables with their teams of agents and coaches with them, but clearly as they scowl across at each other, this was not going to be a friendly event.
Jennifer spoke first with "I have been working my arse off to get this shot, yet this little bytch got one before me, I have to laugh at the situation because I'd cry at how full of shit it is"
Adding with a sneer at Helen "now I am going to enjoy smashing your overinflated tits off your chest, as I break you down piece by f***ing piece till you beg me to take your title and leave"
Helen just smirks as she replies "jealous much? I did what you and all this lot thought I couldn't, I heard the Hilton's, the Van Outen's out there claim I wasn't good enough to win this title, yet I sit here after kicking Lea Seydoux's arse with the title around my stunning waist"
Lifting the belt above her head, she continues "if you think this is going to a talentless w**** like you Jen, then you are stupider then you look" chuckling as Jennifer gives her the middle finger in reply.
Both women are supposed to come together for final photos, but as Jennifer takes a swing at Helen with a slap that the champ just about ducks, security intervenes as the girls try ripping each others hair out.
They are dragged off stage, spitting and snarling at each other, Helen's agent needing to pick up the title belt as it lays at the scene of the catfight.
Fight night; out comes the challenger Jennifer with Nicole Ritchie by her side, she looks fully focused as she bangs her gloves together and jogs to the ring.

Stepping into the ring; she waves to the crowd as she heads to her corner, before limbering up as Nicole helps her out.
Now out comes the champ! Helen jogging out on stage with a cocky grin, her coach holding the big gold title belt up before Helen kisses it and jogs down to the ring.
She is wearing a black bikini with matching coloured gloves, her blonde hair is in a simple ponytail as she climbs into the ring.
Where she does a quick lap inside the ring pumping her right fist, stopping for a moment to tell Jennifer "you're mine" before continuing her lap till she reaches her corner, where she begins her own warm up with her coaches help.
Now the belt is handed to the referee, who brings the fighters to the ring centre, their eyes locked as they threaten each other, Helen tapping the title and saying "this is mine bytch"

Nadia just laughs in reply; pointing at the belt and making a gesture that it will be around her waist soon, making the crowd look even more excited it seems as they chant both girls names.
