Intro:
The next bout tonight sees two Victoria Secret models lace up the gloves to do battle as Josephine Skriver and Lais Ribeiro step into the ring.

Lais is 27 years old, 6'1 and comes from Miguel Alves, Brazil, this is her BBU debut fight, though she has fought in the FCBA with 1 loss to her name.

Both girls are Victoria Secret Angels and when they met up at the press event, they showed people that they are friendly as they hugged each other.
Heading to their seats, Josephine is up first to speak to the press, smiling as she looks over the journalists before starting with "phew it's nice to be out of that gym and back planning to fight"
Before she gets down to business by saying "me and Lais as you can see have history, we've worked together many times and I can't say a bad word about her"
She adds "but this is what we both want to do, I want to be the best and when that bell rings it won't be my friend Lais in front of me, it will be some random girl who is trying to take my head off"
Lais smiling as she admits "I'm a little nervous, I mean this is the second time I've fought and I get to step into the ring with the unconquered Josephine"
Getting slightly more serious, she adds "but Josephine is right, I am not in this business to be second best to anyone, if you come at me you better bring your all, because I will knockout anyone who underestimates me"
Josephine nods as the girls get up and this time as they meet, they go nose to nose with an intense look on their face, the photographers at the event taking photos of the scene with gusto as these are two of the most beautiful women in the world.
As they are asked to leave the stage, both girls laugh and give each other one last big hug, they won't be hugging tomorrow till one has shown she's the better fighter.

Fight night in Milan's San Siro, Josephine is out relaxed with coach Lauren Berlingeri and a woman used to coming to this stadium in cut woman Eva Carneiro.
She looks relaxed as she she steps out onto the pitch, wearing a maroon bikini with matching gloves.
Grinning to the fans, she almost skips as she struts to the ring, climbing up the steps to more then a few wolfwhistles and a loud cheer.
She does a lap around the inside of the ring to show all the fans her body, then she settles into her corner to warm up get into the mindset to beat up Lais.
Out comes her opponent Lais with her corner team behind her, the Brazilian model looks confident judging by her big smile she has for the crowd.
She's wearing a yellow bikini with matching gloves, her hair is braided, showing off her stunning face and body.
Waving to the crowd as she goes, Lais is definitely enjoying her own loud cheer reaction, especially as she climbs into the ring and hears a "wow!" From several guys in the crowd, well she takes it they are saying wow by how stunned they look, she can't translate Italian.
Lais unlike her friend, doesn't do a full lap, instead she stands with her hands on her hips and takes in all the cheers, before she heads to her own corner.

Then they are brought to the ring centre, no hugs from either, in fact both stand staring hard at the other, no hint of a smile on either fighters face.
Asked to touch gloves, this looks to be the only time they will show some level of friendship as they respectfully touch them and wish each other good luck.
As they get back to their corners, that serious look returns as the referee looks over both fighters, happy he can start, he waves for the bell to be rung and 10 rounds of welterweight action begins.

Here they go, Lais starting off strong with her jab probing the defences of Josephine, who doesn't rush in; instead is stepping around Lais, looking for an opening.

Josephine is back behind her guard, having to lean out the way of a right hook as she is on the defensive, something she doesn't like, but she can only land glancing blows as Lais obliviously wants this fight to showcase her own talents, not give her friend another win on her CV.
Seconds to go in the round, Josephine spots a chance to strike as she parries a right cross, stepping in to the inside, she lands a four punch combo up the center of Lais's gloves to rock her head back.
The bell rings to end the round though before Josephine can push on, but she at least knows she can catch Lais if she can find the gaps.

Lais looking cool and collected as she heads back to her corner, sitting on her stool with her coach praising her, but warning her to be careful, Josephine isn't someone you get overly relaxed against.
In the other corner, Josephine punches the top turnbuckle, Lauren having to calm her down as her face is starting to puff up, but not too bad, a few red marks on her face is as bad as it looks.

Round 4:
There's a slight change to the tempo, Lais starts off the same as before, but Josephine knows too well what she's going to do, Lais becoming too one dimensional with her opening gambit as Josephine parries her jab and steps forwards to close the gap between them.
Digging two shots to the body of Lais, Josephine for the first time this fight starts to back up the bigger girl, who gamely tries to fight back, but she can't get the full power of her punches in this tight.
