(Written by Girls Friday/Results BBU)
(Garnet Gunners vs Free Agent)
Intro:
Tonight's action sees the latest debut in the BBU as the singer Dua Lipa fights actress Claire Cooper tonight in the world famous York Hall in London.
Claire is 38 years old, stands at 5'6 and holds a record of 2 wins, both by knockout and 6 defeats.
Dua is 22 years old, stands at 5'8 and this is her debut, her best known songs are "Be the One" and "Hotter than Hell"
It's Yorkshire versus London tonight and as the build up shows, neither of these proud women will give the other an inch.
Dua proclaiming in interviews before the fight "I have done boxing training before I decided to join the BBU, so this isn't exactly new to me, Claire will see why you don't get on my bad side soon enough"
With Claire confidently saying "Dua is the latest spoiled brat to join my organization, don't let the record fool you, if I get a chance to take her head I will, her fans can go cry for all I care as I bring the win back to my hometown"
Fight night, Claire arrives first with Danielle Lloyd working her corner tonight, she has been boxing at bantamweight the past year, so she looks on the lighter side of the lightweight weight limit as she come in at 122lbs.
As she marches to the ring, she is wearing a white bra and knickers to go with her gloves, her brunette hair is up in a ponytail.
Climbing into the ring, she is certainly the villain tonight as she is booed, Claire not looking like she cares as she mockingly waves the fans to go away.
The mood changes though as Dua makes her appearance on the aisle to the ring, her coach standing behind her as she struts to the ring.
She weighed in at her natural 128lbs, all of it framed in a black bra and knickers set, her 32D's look like they want to escape and she has black gloves, with her own brunette hair braided.
Climbing into the ring to a loud cheer, she bows to each side of the ring; before giving Claire a death stare, neither woman exactly liking the others presence.
The girls are soon brought to the ring centre, looking each other up and down as they measure each other up, Dua looks to be the fitter as that extra weight she has over Claire isn't fat.
That doesn't bother Claire though as the fighters touch gloves and head to their corners, the bell sounds to start 10 rounds of lightweight action.
Round 1:
Both fighters look similar in stances and styles, not much dancing around as they circle and trade jabs to start off.
Dua happy to sit back it looks like, get a feel of the action as she uses her reach to hit the top of her opponent's head.
But Claire ducks under a right and surprises the crowd as well as Dua with a hard right across the jugs of the younger woman, who yelps out at being hit there for possibly the first time in her life.
The referee warns Claire that this isn't JMD style fighting, the Yorkshire lass smirking as she works the body of her opponent, trying to keep being aggressive to stop Lipa being comfortable.
Dua though to her credit doesn't look too ruffled as she uses her power to push Claire away, then lands a right cross as the older fighter tries to step back inside.
Claire doesn't look in a hurry to get back into the thick of things, unlucky for her then that Dua does as she forces Cooper behind her guard with hard lefts and rights, none breaking through though as she isn't looking for any gaps.
Which allows Claire to get a breath and then slips under a wild left to land two body shots and another shot across the jugs of her opponent behind the referees back.
The crowd saw it though as they boo loudly, Dua looking more annoyed then seriously hurt as she nudges Claire back again.
Claire using her veteran skills to duck and move out the way of the more wilder punches from the rookie, as the bell rings she smirks over at Danielle, who seems to have given her the JMD tips.
The crowd chanting for Dua to rip off Claire's head shows how much they don't like her tactics though, with Dua herself banging her gloves together and her eyes locked on Claire.
Round 2:
Maybe first round nerves for Dua as she comes out more quickly, hunting Claire back around the ring with her long range punches digging through the guard of the Yorkshire fighter to her face.
Claire trying to duck and Dodge again, but now that Dua is timing her punches instead of the wild efforts of round 1, she is getting caught coming in.
A right cross to the top of Claire's head has her backing up, Dua giving chase; she's too focused on hurting her opponent though to see Claire change direction and slip under a straight punch.
Claire knowing she needs to finish this early, digs two punches to the abs of her opponent and an overhand right, she manages to force Dua onto the back foot as she works the body.
That's till DUA LANDS AN UPPERCUT THAT ROCKS AND PUTS HER DOWN TO HER BACKSIDE! a stunned look on Cooper's face as she can't believe the power of the youngster.
Claire has to shake the cobwebs away and soon pushes herself to her feet to beat the count at 8 to some boos, other members of the crowd want to see her hurt more it seems.
Dua comes on the attack right away, digging jabs right into the face of Cooper, whose backing away and trying to guard her face.
But her nose is soon bleeding from the punches she's eating to it, Dua has a primeval look on her face as she seems to be enjoying hurting her opponent.
Sweat flying off the head of Claire as she's backed onto the ropes, her guard needing to soak up the punishment as seconds tick away in the round.
She takes a right and left to her ribs just before the bell rings, with Dua waving her left arm into the air to a loud roar from her fans.
While Danielle quickly works on the nose of Claire, who looks a little shell shocked that she is being beaten so readily.
Round 3:
Claire comes out with her guard tighter to her face, taking hits right onto it as Dua stalks her around the ring, Cooper just having to move around and look for an opening.
She manages to get under a right cross to land a left to the ribs of the younger girl, but misses with her own overhand right and takes a counter right across her cheek.
Now Claire is on the backfoot, being powered back towards the ropes with a flurry of punches that nearly smack her guard right into her face.
She has to dip down and clinch up with Lipa to stop the assault; the referee needed to break them apart as Dua is being cheered for calling Claire "a coward"
The action starts again with Claire trying to get back into the fight by jabbing and moving, just trying anything to stay in this fight.
But Dua's long reach again comes into play, her punches rifling into the bloody nose of her opponent, knocking blood into the air as Claire whines out in pain as she gets hit.
DUA LANDS A RIGHT CROSS THAT WOBBLES CLAIRE! Cooper needing to ride out the beating on the ropes as the referee watches closely.
Claire doing enough to fight back till the bell rings to keep the fight alive, but her face looks a mess as Claire has a cut above her left eye, her coach working on stopping the bleeding.
Dua smiling as she bumps her fist with her coach, winking over at Claire as she feels supremely confident.
Round 4:
Claire tries to come out and get into the face of Dua, she just can match her physically though; leading to her eating chopping rights and lefts across her face as she tries to come forwards.
A BARRAGE OF PUNCHES EAT THROUGH THE GUARD OF CLAIRE TILL SHE GOES DOWN! Claire flat on her back with blood dripping off her face to the canvas, the referee doesn't even bother counting and waves the fight off!
Winner: Dua Lipa KO Round 4
After:
Dua getting off the mark in her career tonight in front of her home fans, she flexes both arms as she struts around the ring with a massive smile on her face.
Claire of course needing to be checked over by the ringside doctor, her cuts being attended too as she looks dazed badly.
The doctor waving to the coach that he wants to get Claire out the ring to do tests and to fully patch her up, showing how badly beaten she was by the end of the fight.
The victor staring holes through her as Cooper gets helped out the ring, the crowd giving her a small applause but they only seem interested in Dua as they turn back and cheer her soon enough.
Dua getting her hand raised by the referee, then gets a microphone to tell her fans "this is just the beginning guys, the BBU and maybe even the FCBA will have to content with me, so ladies keep coming so I can knock you all out!"
That of course gets the loudest cheer of the night as Dua blows them a kiss and puts the microphone down on the canvas.
The youngster stepping out the ring, she must be hoping she can get a few wins before the end of the year to get going to make 2018 her year, she has a long way to go to make her statement true though.
