Part 1:BBU bantamweight title announcement OK so the first major news we can announce, is that current BBU champion Una Healy of Double A boxing, will defend her title this month against the Latin Unions own Lea Seydoux.
Lea's last fight in the BBU was over 2 years ago as she lost to Samia Ghadie, since then though, she's went to went to America and won her last five fights against girls like Megan Fox, Olivia Munn and Nina Dobrev to name just a few.
Her overall record in her career is 17 wins, 16 by knockout and 10 losses, physically; she's 31 years old and 5'6 and can fight at flyweight as well, meaning she is fast for a bantamweight.
But she has the massive test of beating a girl with a record of 24 wins, 18 by knockout and 10 losses herself and is currently on an 11 fight unbeaten run.
This is her second title rein in her career and already she has surpassed the amount of defences she made as champion the last time with 4 defences in a stacked field.
Physically Una is 35 years old, is 5'7 in height and is a pure bantamweight, which will all add up to her being the favourite coming into this fight.
But Lea poses a different problem to Una's last few defences, which have been against girls who suit her style down to a tee.
How will she do against someone who won't be coming purely head on, like Azealia Banks and Doda has done in her last two defences.
We at the Real View think that Lea could pull the surprise off but we still put our money on Una to keep the title if she can use her experience to control the contest.
If she doesn't, then the upset is certainly on and the landscape of the bantamweight division will certainly look different to what it does now.

Part 2: number one contenders news So we've just discussed the big title fight news and now we can discuss the other news concerning the BBU bantamweight title fight, who will be next in line.
Well BBU management has put together two women who they feel deserves a shot at the title, in a number one contenders fight.
Those two are Beevers Babe's undefeated fighter Fleur East, fighting Lioness Clubs Nicola Roberts for that right to fight for the title.
So let's discuss the fighters, Fleur as mentioned is unbeaten after 4 fights, all by knockout at a combined 12 rounds length, meaning her average fight lasts just 3 rounds.
She's 29 and 5'6, physically she is build like a tank and may be the strongest bantamweight in the celeb boxing.
Nicola meanwhile comes into this fight with a record of 11 wins, 9 by knockout and 12 losses to her name but since her loss to Kaya Scodelario, she's won her last two fights to get herself back into contention.
She's 31 years old and 5'5, physically she is fit in her own right, built more for speed and stamina then out right power to give you a major contrast in this fight.
The odds on money appears surprisingly to be on Fleur, she is visibly stronger in our opponent and has no mental scars in terms of losses to her record.
But Nicola is a fighter in every sense, when she loses, she is back in the gym working out her kinks and after been written off in some quarters, she keeps coming back and proving doubters wrong.
We're fans of both but have to admit that we have a soft spot for Nicola, after her loss to Kaya at the beginning of the year, we called her out as we felt she lacked the killer instinct.
She did what we urge fighters to do and proved us wrong ever since and we love girls who do that, it's just excuses off that type of girl.
But Nicola looks hungry and we'll be impartial on the night, but we will be watching closely to see if she can prove us wrong again.

Part 3: Alesha Dixon vs Pippa Middleton Alesha Dixon has certainly been an interesting figure in the BBU, she is a former BBU bantamweight champion, her fights with Jessica Schwarz are legendary and she has a positive record here.
But she's been in America in the FCBA for the past two years, she lost 8 in a row this past year and has lost 9 at one point, so she is an enigma in the ring from what we've seen.
So could she return and beat the also recently returned Pippa Middleton? Pippa herself lost to Tamara Ecclestone with some people questioning her stamina.
Pippa came into the fight with an even 11 wins and 11 losses and a scalp like a Alesha's to her record could be a catalyst for something special.
When fight night came, what a contest; Pippa controlled the first few rounds, using her extra height to control the pace of the fight.
Alesha wasn't going away so easily though and her patience was rewarded you could say as the fight went on, from our viewpoint it was mostly the fight getting out of hand in the later rounds that caught our eyes.
A low blow by Pippa was swiftly met with a forearm from Alesha across the throat of Pippa to pin her back in what was quickly becoming a street fight.
Thankfully the referee got some control back, but as they say, the horse had bolted already for Pippa and it was only a matter of time till she went down.
That time was one round later as she got pummelled down to the canvas by a furious Alesha Dixon to a loud roar from the crowd and the fight was over.
For Alesha, we know she has a date booked to fight Tamara Ecclestone and that should be very interesting to watch as both have been slating each other to the BBU press.
Pippa, well what do you do with her? She is very fit but can't seem to get over that finish line in her fights enough to put her in the top echelon of boxing, back to the drawing board it seems on that front.
But both have lots of fights that can be made and it will be interesting to see how far both can go on their returns to the BBU.

Translated from Japanese courtesy of Front Street Japan press officeIs anyone surprised that Rosie Jones and Emma Glover are drawn in the opposite sides of the bracket? Well, I am NOT! Everyone has the Jones/Glover final all figured out but I promise to spoil the English party! Step one, beat Emma's jugs into submission! You have been warned!

Everyone has the Jones/Glover final all figured out but I promise to spoil the English party! Step one, beat Emma's jugs into submission! You have been warned! Of course, I'd love to smother out Emma Glover for the opportunity to be the first BBU JMD Champion, but I didn't have anything to do with the way the brackets were set up! I'm willing to take out anybody and everybody to get to the title - you included, Harumi! I don't think you're going to get past Emma, but if you do, let me tell you that we are going to have British jugs, not Japanese jugs, holding the JMD championship. My stablemate, Jenna Louise Coleman, fought very hard to return the flyweight championship over to British soil and I will do the same to uphold the honor of the JMD title. You've been warned now, Harumi... Face me and this is where your face will end up!

OK, time to press pause on this awkward JMD thing... Geez, Rosie! Put some clothes on for once! Back to serious stuff, I do realize I'm not as hyped as some of my ex-bandmates (here's looking at ya, Cheryl) BUT I can still get the job done myself! You think I accepted Una Healy being labelled as the best redhead in the BBU for all these years? Well, here's my golden chance to finally upstage the impostor... OK, so Una is NOT an impostor but she makes me soooooo jealous it's downright crazy! Grr.... No Fleur East is ever going to stop me!!! Not even if she dyes her hair red... This is for the REAL women... Una and ME!!! Destiny! Just one win and I'm right there to spoil Una's legacy! Fingers crossed, people!
