(Double A vs Free Agent)

Intro:
The first of two main event bouts here in Blackpool's Bloomfield road sees Una Healy defend her BBU bantamweight title against a young hungry challenger in Azealia Banks.
Their backgrounds and style of music is so much different from each other but both love a good brawl so pundits are waiting to see how body match up against the other.
The champion Una Healy is looking to defend her title for a fourth time and to take her career wins up to 24 wins out of 34 if she can get the job done.
The Challenger Azealia Banks, the 24 year old is 7 and 1 in her career but that first loss was in the FCBA, so is undefeated in the BBU that earned her the champions voluntary defence.


At the press event for this fight, both girls were on the pitch of Bloomfield stadium, taking photos together around the building that looked friendly but most could see it was for the cameras.
As soon as they got a chance to speak it became clear that the title was the most important thing and not to be friends before or after.
Being the challenger, Azealia spoke first; saying "people who love me know I love my bling, that BBU title belt with look fine around my waist after I dethrone Una in this small stadium"
Turning to Una, she mockingly says "when I am champion, I won't be fighting in small arenas like this place, I'll take the title to my home of New York, where true class lives Bytch"
Una looks up and down Azealia before laughing at her, Banks gives her a hard glare and waves Healy to try something but security is close by in case it does erupt.
Now the champion speaks as Una says "I won't insult anywhere I fight because as a good champion, you should be prepared to fight anywhere and not just in your hometown, I mean I have fought in Tokyo and Amsterdam, so if she is saying I am not a big money attraction, she should look in the mirror"
Azealia bristles at that as Una continues "I'll give Azealia credit, she will be a future champion, that's why I picked her but that is when I retire and that's going to be in many years if I can help it, so Azealia, learn from our fight because I will be giving you a lesson in that ring"
This time as they are asked to go nose to nose, it's clear they are not friends as Azealia is firing insults, while Una is cool and calm, just staring with a smile on her face, which just gets Banks even more irate.
Organisers try to separate the two but Azealia slaps the hand of one of her arm so she can turn back around to keep throwing insult after insult at Una, till security pulls her away from the champion.
Una mockingly ignores Azealia snarling and shouting at her as she gets dragged away by lifting her title above her head for the small crowd of journalists on hand, then walks off the pitch with a wide grin on her face.


Fight night, Azealia is out first with a menacing look on her face as she struts out to the ring wearing her famous boxing attire, a black bra, American flag trunks, black shoes and red gloves.
A loud boo rings out around the arena as people clearly saw her comments on Blackpool and are showing their displeasure.
Azealia doesn't seem to care as she struts down to the ring and can be heard shouting "bring that bytch out so I can slay her!"
As Banks enters the ring and warms up in her corner, Una comes out to a loud cheer as the champ gets treated like the home fighter, even though you have to cross water like you would to visit Azealia's home in New York.
Una waves to the crowd and looks ready for this fight as her eyes meet Azealia's and both women glare at each other.
But again it is Azealia doing all the talking as she flings more insults that Una is sure she's heard already from the youngster and has to stifle a laugh.
The referee has to hold Azealia back as Una enters the ring and ignores Banks once again, while she shows respect to the crowd.
Una goes to the ring centre as Azealia finally seems to shut up but she's like a cat on a hot tin roof, she's desperate to get at Healy and the referee has to shove her back and warn her to settle down.
Healy continues to smile as the referee finally finishes his instructions and asks for a glove touch, Azealia just turns straight away and jogs back to her corner.
As Banks reaches her corner, she shouts "just ring the f***ing bell!" As Una slowly returns to her corner to make her opponent wait even longer.
Once both are in their corners, the referee checks that everything is ready and then signals to the timekeeper to ring the bell to start 10 rounds of BBU bantamweight championship action.

Round 1:
"Ding" out come the fighters straight at each other, neither is afraid to mix it up with the other as they tuck up into their guards and unleash stiff punches around each others guard.
Azealia the more aggressive of the fighters early on as she throws more then Una and shoves her with her left to try and open up the champ.
Back comes Una, digging away with three quick thrown body shots to force air from the lungs of the New Yorker, before getting clipped up top with a hard right hook.
Both step back to survey the girl in front of them, before wading back into each other with more body hooks to try and gut each other it seems.
Grunts and groans escape both fighters lips as they barge into each other and Azealia surprises Una with a hard jab followed by a cracking right hook to knock the champ sideways.
Una quickly gets her feet back under herself as Azealia lands to the body again with a long straight, Healy fires back with two ripping hooks over the top to hurt Banks.
But Azealia is too quick for Una and actually scores up top with a good double jab, followed by a straight that keeps the Irish girl back.
It not long till both has their heads down and banging away with shots to anywhere they can hit as it's a war of attrition between these two.
Una this time shoves Azealia back but Banks fires a left hook to turn Healy's head around and comes on strong late in the round.
Landing with some quick fire punches to the nose of Una but the bell rings just before she can force the champion to the ropes.
Both look angrily at the other, evidently hoping the other would wilt quickly under their power and be begging for mercy.
Instead they both have a few bumps but look ready to go again when the bell rings, with their coaches cleaning them up.


Round 2:
Both fighters again look ready to brawl but Azealia catches Una out by coming out faster across the canvas and starting with a flurry of punches.
Una takes the first few before stepping out of the way of a headhunting haymaker to save herself a trip to the canvas.
Azealia looks confident that Una has nothing on her as she knocks the older fighter back a step then two back with quick hands and power behind each punch.
Una looks shell shocked as she tries to match workrate but is starting from a disadvantage this round and is being pressed backwards.
Banks lands two good right hooks to the side of Una's body to weaken her enough to get her onto the ropes but dig another hard body shot in just under the right jug of the Irish lass.
Una clinches up to get the referee involved by separating the two girls and letting Healy escape off the ropes to find space.
Again Azealia hunts her down but Una now has a chance to get into this fight and does so with a left jab and right straight combo to the head of Banks to knock her back.
Both girls get tight to each other and bang away at each other till the bell, when the referee has to get between the fighters as they hurl insults at each other.
The referee has to order both fighters back to their corners as they seem ready to throw the gloves off and get back at it.
Luckily they calm down enough to return to their corners but the temper of both is simmering and ready to boil over.


Round 3:
Quickly both girls come out and just go straight for each other, it becomes sloppy as each fighter shoves the other to pound in a hard shot to the other.
Both end up towards the ropes and clinched up against each other, pushing and shoving as they let their emotions control them.
The referee pulls them apart and warns them to keep things clean as he orders a touch of gloves and gets a half hearted effort.
Back at it they go as Azealia gets her head down and goes to work once again around the body of Una to wear her out.
But Una starts to use her experience, slipping out of the way of Azealia's wilder punches to slam some hard counter punches to rock Banks head back.
Azealia manages to shove Una towards the ropes and again they just beat each other with flurries of punches.
But the cameras can see Una sneaking some good pinpoint punches to the liver area of Azealia to hurt her, Banks clinches up with Healy to take a breather.
Separated again, they exchange less punches but still vicious looking punches that rock the others head around on a swivel.
The bell rings and both fighters are glaring at the other but Una looks to almost be smiling as she's weathered the storm and looks as good as Azealia does.
Both return to their corners, each fighter has swelled cheeks and Una has blood running from her bottom lip onto her chin.


Round 4:
Azealia keeps up the pressure on Una, still coming forward quickly to force the Irish fighter back wards, Healy doing her best to parry these shots as Banks throws multiple shots.
Una digs back with some shots into the space in Azealia's guard to slam into her face, causing blood to come from Azealia's nose.
But Banks won't stop coming forward as she shoves Una to the ropes and cracks her with a straight to those bloody lips to get a yelp from Healy.
The Double A boxer is stuck to the ropes as Azealia throws a flurry of punches that Una guards as best she can from.
Then Una clinches up with Azealia, the black girl is starting to breath hard as she tries to wrestle free and pundits are wondering if the champ has outsmarted her.
Separated, Azealia again goes back to pounding the guard of Una and forcing the champion back to the ropes on the other side of the ring.
This time though, Una slips out the side and shoves Azealia to the ropes, then she times her punches to slam away around the guard of the challenger.
Azealia now has to clinch up to stop being punished on the ropes, the referee gets between the girls as they keep throwing insults to each other.
Back at it they go but Una looks on top in the final minute as she now bullies Banks backwards, Azealia starts to shy away from the punishment.
The crowd sense blood in the water as they scream for Una to finish her but the bell rings to stop the round before Una can set Azealia up.
Banks looks away from Una and marches to her corner as she complains to her coach that he hasn't planned this fight right, he just remains silent but his face shows he isn't pleased.


Round 5:
The crowd look excited as the girls come head on, slamming hard shots straight into the others heads to rock each other backwards.
Una digs away to the body once more and is rewarded with a loud groan from Azealia as she gets forced to step back.
The Irish lass snaps an uppercut that rocks the American back onto the ropes and drives forward to dig hooks to the head of the challenger.
Azealia has to clinch up to protect herself, Una can he seen whispering into the ear of Banks, the look of pure anger in Azealia's face shows the words being exchanged.
The referee pulls both snarling fighters apart, Una quickly barges into Azealia, before cracking her over the top with another right hook to wobble her.
Azealia lifts her guard up but it's starting to drop as blood is running from a cut above her left eye now.
Una continues to crack her to the face and control Azealia on the ropes as Banks tries to fire back.
The referee is watching closely and stope the action when he gets the chance to get the doctor to check Azealia's eye.
Blood is running down the left side of her face, the doctor cleans her face to check the cut and as Azealia begs him not to stop the fight, he warns her to protect it or he will stop the fight.
Back comes Una to try and force the stoppage, Azealia manages to stay out of trouble by basically running away and flicking out punches to protect herself.
The bell saves her not long afterwards and Azealia sighs her relief but Una laughs right in her face, nearly causing them to brawl.
But Azealia tries to keep her head to get back to her corner and get fixed up by her coach as the doctor watches closely to see how well it gets cleaned up.
Una looks happy in her corner as she whispers to her coach, before staring over at Azealia to work out if she will come out to fight and if so, how will she end the fight.


Round 6:
Azealia does come out to fight and while she isn't popular around here by any stretch of the word, the crows respect her for getting up off her stool to fight.
She knows that she has to go for the knockout because if she holds back she'll lose anyway.
Una doesn't care about respect at the moment as she ploughs forward and the drama is high as the fighters slug it out.
The doctor is almost on the ring apron already as he stands out his stool angry that he told Azealia to protect herself and she is doing the opposite.
Back and forth go the combatants as knock each other around the ring before Una takes advantage of that cut above that eye with a hard straight into it.
As Azealia rocks back to the ropes and the doctor is about to get on the apron, when Una places her left forearm across the chest of Banks, then unleashes two cruel right hooks to that eye, before letting her opponent fall to the canvas.
The referee is counting but it's clear that Azealia is out for the count and he waves the fight off so she can get medic attention.

Winner: Una Healy KO Round 6

After:
Una pumps her fist to the crowd as doctors and first aiders rush in to check out the knocked out Azealia as she lays flat out near the ropes.
The crowd don't seem to care as they cheer for the champion, who extends her win streak to 11 in a row, which is fitting on the same night that Jenna Louise Coleman goes for the win streak record in the next bout, could Una catch up to her?
At the moment all she cares about is getting her hands on the title belt, lifting to the crowd as the announcement is dealt with quickly.
Azealia is woken up but is too weak to pull herself up and she is stretchered out the ring to a ripple of respectfull applause but I don't know if she'll fight in Blackpool again after the last few days.


Una does a lap of honour with the belt to a loud cheer and applause, before she is interviewed in the ring about the fight.
The champ tells the reporter "I knew she would come hard but boy does she hit hard as well" which gets a laugh from the interviewer.
"But seriously, I set out to upset her before we even stepped foot in the ring because anyone who listens to her outside the ring will see she can get riled up easily, so I hope she learns to channel her anger to success and not let it rule her like it has in the past and tonight" says Una.
Asked about the record Jenna is trying to break and if she wants to break that record herself, Una replies records only mean something if you have a thing to fight for, I like Jenna and respect what she's done but I wonder how hungry she would be without the title to rack up those wins?"
She adds "So at the moment, just keeping the title is the main goal in my life, I mean I probably haven't got another 10 years in me to rein, if I can dominant the next 5 at bantamweight will make me happy"
Finally asked about future challengers, she answers "I have some ideas for a title defence next month since December is always a major event for the BBU so we'll see who gets the nod"
Una thanks the interviewer with a handshake, before blowing kisses to the crowd and leaving the ring with the title proudly on her shoulder.
Who is going to take the title from the Irish lass now after another strong performance to add to her record?
