Cardi B versus Nicki Minaj
The arena was full as this bout was a huge seller. Cardi B would be making her FCBA debut against Nicki Minaj. It was being billed as a battle of thickness according to the male fight fans.
There was a rivalry between these two long before this bout happened. Both boxers made derogatory comments about the other in their looks, singing, music, boxing, and how it was gonna be over quick for the loser.
The press conference and weigh in had to be held with so much security that the FCBA didn’t want the fight to not go on because these two had already injured each other. Both also made sure to show off their bodies and run down their opponent’s during the weigh in and press conference.
In the crowd was a host of stars, Rhianna sat ringside as did Kim Kardashian. Jennifer Lopez was also close to the ring. Sitting close to Lopez was Tessa Thompson who was wearing the fight promotion t-shirt and looked amazing in it. Mariah Carey is also in the crowd absolutely beaming in her low cut dress.
The referee for this bout is a surprise as Halle Berry is announced. She comes out in tight black short shorts and a black and white striped shirt which is cut off to become almost a quarter of a top and the sleeves are cut off as well. Halle does walk around in the ring showing off this body. In the opinion of some FCBA media, Halle did seem to be campaigning for bouts in the Cougar division with this appearance.
