Part 1: BBU flyweight championship bout preview
The main event on the next PPV will be a fight that plenty of people have been dreaming of, Zara Holland on an impressive run of nine wins in a row to earn this title shot.
On the record of Zara is the likes of Jeannette McCurdy in the past year, former champion Cheryl Cole, top contenders Maria Ozawa and Ola Jordan to get to this point, with many seeing her as the number one contender in the division.
For the champion well what more can be said about her in a glowing way? Diana has been one of the most dominant champions in BBU history, winning her last sixteen flyweight fights, only Katie McGrath has defeated her in a super fight at bantamweight for the title at that weight in the past three years.
Seven title defences for Diana has seen her beating Cheryl Cole to win the title, then going on to beat Emilia Clarke, Danielle Sharp, Maisie Williams, Havana Brown, Jenna Louise Coleman, Gemma Merna and Victoria Justice has all felt the sting of defeat at Diana's fists.
Some have questioned why Zara hasn't had a shot yet, but right now the money for this fight is going to be massive for both, Diana hasn't been fighting tomato cans when you look at the mix of former champions and top contenders.
This will be a classic clash of styles, Zara is going to look to bully Diana with her raw power, she is one of the hardest hitters in the division to go alongside her inside fighting, Diana is a great technical boxer, one of the best jabs in all of celebrity boxing to go along her power right.
I honestly believe this could be the fight of the year, maybe I am jumping the gun but both women are amazing fighters, we could see things from an early knockout to a full on war to a finish, anybody could come out on top with the title going to either fighter, that is why I and so many pundits are excited to see this fight.

Part 2: BBU bantamweight championship bout preview
Alice Eve has chosen an interesting pick for her next voluntary defence, choosing the youngster Samaria Regalado to come at her for the belt in a rematch from earlier this year.
In March of this year they fought it out for the right to be the number one contender for the title in the Contender Six tournament, Alice would win the entire tournament with one of those being a seventh round referee stoppage.
Since then Samaria has improved her record by beating Georgia May Jagger in a beating by the end of the fight, she has caught a lot of peoples imaginations since making her debut only in January, finishing fourth in the Contender Six tournament, which was full of top prospects and veteran top contenders, a win over Lacey Turner on her debut certainly caught the attention of fans.
Now this has caused some debate, ranging from some saying Samaria is going to shock the world and beat Alice, others say it is too early for her, while others are arguing this is just an easy pick for Alice to pad her title run.
What's my view on this? Well Samaria has shown that she can handle these big fights, never has she looked out of depth and physically you can't argue that she has the advantage, she is taller, younger and arguably has more power behind her punches if you watch her hitting the punch bag.
Now of course Alice has the quicker hands and experience, she will look to replicate the first bout between them by counter punching Samaria, who will need to have learnt what went wrong from that fight to win.
If this fight turns out the same as their first encounter then all those arguments will wash away, we'll all be too busy watching with bated breath to see who'll come out on top of what will be a battle between them.

Part 3: BBU welterweight championship bout preview
The final title bout we are discussing is between the hard hitting Damaris Lewis and the champion Doutzen Kroes, two women who have had a hell of a year coming to a head.
Over this year Damaris has looked very impressive rising up the rankings in the BBU and FCBA, getting some great wins under her belt like against Catherine Tydlesley in just one round, Robyn Lawley in four and Khloe Kardashian in five.
Doutzen meanwhile has defeated Kelly Brook to win the title, beaten Petra Nemcova to retain it in her first defence, while nearly winning the European Cup tournament in the FCBA, only Cara Delevingne beat her in the final in a war.
So neither can be argued on being top fighters in the division, the big question is of course who will come out on top of this contest? Well it is certainly hard to decide.
On one side you have Damaris in amazing form, losing her last fight in the FCBA will have people going for Doutzen, but the raw power of Damaris can be fearsome when she gets going, she is younger and just a dominant force.
But Doutzen isn't a slough either, she has her hand speed still from lightweight, is a classy boxer who carried her power up when she stepped up a division, her experience especially at this level could be key to victory.
That said it will come down to who can bully who, neither particularly like going backwards, whichever one can get the control first should be able to bulldoze the other, Doutzen will make it hard for Damaris to settle, it is up to Damaris to take the fight to the champion to win this fight.

Final Part: One to watch - Maura HigginsAdmittedly after two fights it might be a little early to jump on a fighters bandwagon, but when you look at her background then betting on Maura might not be too wild. For those who only remember her being on Love Island, they won't know that she actual started to find fame by being a ring girl for some high profile MMA and boxing events in the UK.  She also happens to be friends with a boxer called Tommy Fury, so she knows her way in the fight game to getting good trainers, while naturally being fit as she proved by doing the Spartan challenge for charity at the beginning of the year. So physically and training wise she should be OK, even beginning her boxing career at thirty, we've seen boxers like Alessandra Ambrosio start at thirty five and make an impact quickly, so starting later then most isn't a handicap as you'd expect in celebrity boxing. Looking at her career so far, she started off in February against Sacha Parkinson with a forth round knockout, Sacha is a former BBU bantamweight champion though she hasn't been near those heights in years. The other fight we can go off is against Kimberley Walsh, a fight where on paper she was taking a step up, only needing three rounds to finish that fight off against the tough Walsh. Already she has shown a ruthless in the ring to go alongside some good technique, there are still some issues like learning when to strike instead of being overly aggressive, that is something she can learn with experience. While it is too early to say she can be a champion right now, if she keeps progressing as she is then she will be dangerous in the higher end of the rankings, the biggest issue will be does she have the drive to keep learning as she goes. That's all we have time for, we hope you enjoyed today's episode, thank you for taking the time to read these posts, we will be back next Sunday for the next edition.
