Former BBU welterweight champion
Former BBU Welterweight champion
Former two time FCBA lightweight champion.
Former Queen of the Ice Hotel.
This weeks poll puts together two of our best British welterweights in history who have surprisingly never fought, both are future hall of famers for their work in both organizations, but which one would win if they fought each other?
Let's start with the red corner with Gemma Atkinson, the actress has been in soaps Emmerdale and Hollyoaks, in terms of inside the ring she is one of the pioneers of BBU fighters heading to the FCBA to show what our fighters can do, ending up winning the FCBA welterweight title to crown off a successful career.
In terms of who she has beaten, her roll call includes the likes of Kate Upton, Karlie Kloss, Cassidy Freeman to name a small portion of the people to suffer at her fists, she also nearly won the welterweight revival tournament back in 2015, only Sarah Lancaster stopped her winning her maiden welterweight title sooner.
Her in ring style is a mix of a puncher/boxer, she can slug it out with the best like a bar brawling, she also can box you around for the distance if needed from her years of doing boxing and Thai boxing training before she turned pro.
Her biggest weakness over the past few years has been a combination of speed and punch resistance, she still has some quickness but not to what she had in her prime, while her wars over the past decade have taken some of her ability to take a punch, meaning she can be gotten at more now then ever on her career.
Now to the blue corner and Page Three legend Kelly Brook, who herself has acted a little as she does several things now, in terms of in the ring well it's hard to find something she hasn't won in her boxing career since having her first pro fight in a loss to Liz Hurley all the way back in 2002!
Since then she has a long list of people she has battered in the ring, from Kate Upton herself in a legendary best of seven series, to hall of famers like Charlize Theron and Amanda Righetti, she has fought every top contender over these past two decades.
Her style has had to adapt quite a lot as her body shape has changed, she started off as a lightweight who loved to box her way around the ring, to now where she is a proud welterweight who uses her raw power to batter down opponents, fact she has her technique aids in her ability to cut off rings, really pile the pressure on opponent's.
The issue for her now as she is in her early forties is she isn't quick across the canvas, along with the wear and tear of so many fights, not even the GOAT Charlize Theron has escaped this pitfall of so many fights, Kelly has still won a good share of fights in the past few years but she has also been caught out by younger hard hitters.
