Part 1: BBU flyweight title preview This Wednesday sees the latest BBU PPV take place with a truly major main event, Cheryl Cole will defend her flyweight title against the quickly rising star Diana Korkunova, here's all you need to know going into that fight.
Let's start with the challenger Diana Korkunova, she is still only 22 but made her debut back in 2017, a year where she would end up being our rookie of the year as she went five and two in fights.
Then came her breakout moment last year, she entered the first ever Contender six tournament, with her nearly beating future BBU hall of famer Jenna Louise Coleman and did defeat the winner of the tournament Tiffany Mulheron.
Since then she has come on strong; going unbeaten in her last six fights with Michelle Keegan, Samara Weaving and Jade Thirlwall being victims in her rise to this title shot.
Now the champion Cheryl Cole, is there really anything that has to be said about her when it comes to outside the ring and inside it.
The future hall of famer will be making her seventh BBU title defence since finally winning the gold in May two years ago, defeating Jenna Louise Coleman who was on the longest undefeated streak in BBU history.
In that time Cheryl has also been doing some amazing work in America in the FCBA, defeating the likes of Kristen Stewart, Mila Kunis and Kristen Bell.
There has been a few cracks over the past two years, losing to Megan Fox for the FCBA flyweight title, she also lost to Kristin Kreuk in February to show that Diana has a chance.
OK so physically Diana is bigger by two inches at 5'5 and is thirteen years younger, which if she can use her reach to bully the champ then that will give her the perfect chance to take the title.
Problem for her is Cheryl has seen it all in her nearly decade long career in the ring, she will have plans for cutting the ring down, getting inside to work the body will most likely be Cheryl's best way of retaining.
This is a tricky one to say who will win; both have reasons why they can come out of this with the title, a true fifty/fifty title fight unlike some in boxing today.
I have to go with Cheryl Cole purely on that experience at this level, Diana has to take any chance that presents itself or she will be going home empty handed on Wednesday.

Part 2: Sarah Brandner vs Lorena Rae This was the main event of the past Wednesday card, with both looking to take a step towards the showing they are the best welterweight in Germany.
Neither fighter has really broken through in the division, they have though shown that they have potential, a win here could push one towards a future title shot.
The atmosphere between the fighters was friendly as they joked before the bell, once the action started though it was all business for them.
Sarah started off quicker in the opening round, trying to use her footwork to try to be a hard target to hit, only problem was she too obvious in her attacks as she went straight for the head.
It was Lorena who looked the better fighter though as she dodged punches to counter with her own, she looked the faster woman which allowed her to knock Sarah around the ring.
In the third round Sarah ate a right to her liver that sent her to the canvas on all four, Sarah did beat the count but was clearly hurt as she got up.
One round later Lorena was able to finish things with a flurry of punches that put Sarah down for the count, giving Lorena a nigh on shutout victory.
The big news was Lorena was signed by the Black Eagles; now her and Sarah can spar together, while it will be interesting to see how their other welterweight Toni Garrn acts with Lorena, both you would think will be trying to be the top dog in the stable.
Her next fight will be in the FCBA when she takes on Sandra Kubicka, that will be at lightweight which will be interesting to see if the weight loss will weaken her badly or have no effect.
Sarah meanwhile still has plenty left in the tank to become a top fighter, but these defeats to her fellow national fighters are hurting that rise badly, she probably needs one or two tune up fights to regain her confidence after a bruising past twelve months.

Part 3: Sylvie Meis vs Sandy Moelling Two of the let's say veterans of celebrity boxing met up for the first time in their careers, with a clash of Holland vs Germany.
Ironically Sylvie got a loud cheer from the fans, she has been based in Hamburg for a lot of years, it could be argued that she was more the home fighter then Sandy.
That seemed to add to the ill feeling as they stepped in the ring, the looks they exchanged were far from friendly when the bell rung to start the fight.
It was Sandy who came off the blocks the faster of the two, forcing her Dutch rival on the defensive as she hunted her down, barking in real effort with each punch as she went for the knockout early.
The German fighter kept going low and it worked as she put Sylvie down in the third, I wanted to scream at the referee as the low blows definitely were the biggest issue for Meis.
To the credit of Sylvie; she toughed it out as Sandy went for the jugular, getting out the fourth round with a few marks.
That riled up Sandy into making a big mistake, an uppercut with venom behind it badly stunned her, leading to Sylvie grabbing the fight with both hands to turn things around.
Sandy would go down twice in the sixth, with the final time being the end for her as she got blasted with a left hook/uppercut combination that put the Black Eagle fighter to sleep.
OK so I better comment on this, I heard a pundit talk about how I said Sylvie should maybe think about retiring, she looked good here I'll admit in this fight.
The only thing I would say is that Sandy has become someone not really to mark yourself against, she has been on a losing streak and yet still had Sylvie hurt but couldn't finish the job, which a better fighter would have.
On that note I am thinking of starting a charity for blind referees because the low blows were clear to see, bar the official only feet away from it happening.

Final Part: Collien Fernandes vs Jeanette Biedermann Collien was at home in Hamburg for this fight against her fellow German Jeanette, with Jeanette seeming to be a favourite of the Black Eagles stable, even as she has a history of beating their fighters.
The Black Eagles coach Gina Wild put pressure on Collien by coming out in the press to tell them that she feels her fighter needs to prove herself now against good fighters then later due to her not being the youngest, not a favourite tactic of mine due to throwing unneeded pressure on a fighter.
It showed the tension in Collien as she came out hunting down her opponent, who dodged and countered the obvious attacks as the hometown girl was too one dimensional.
The fight was all Jeanette in the early rounds, her movement was giving her fellow German a lot of trouble but she seemed to lack that power shot to end things.
Collien on the other hand showed her power in the fifth, Jeanette made one mistake but it was enough to turn the fight right around.
A right busted the nose of Jeanette; leading to her being put down to relief I bet from Gina, who had the pleasure of watching the referee need to step in to stop the fight as Jeanette was clearly too badly hurt to continue after she had got up.
This was a good name for Collien but was a terrible performance to go with it, Collien won't have scared potential rivals with this fight.
But it might be down to Gina applying so much pressure on her, it might work and Collien becomes a diamond, she could also struggle to live up to expectations.
Jeanette meanwhile shouldn't be too downbeat over this result, she looked good as she usual does on the counter, just lacking the one shot knockout power to be that elite fighter, she is probably just under that group.
That's all we have time for; thank you to everyone who took the time to read these posts, the next episode of the Real View will be Sunday as usual.
