(10-13, 10 KO vs 2-7, 2 KO)
Results: BBU: Story: Vassago

BEFORE: There's no real controversy among the Romanian Invasion flyweights... yet. Elena Gheorghe's defeat to Cher Lloyd has stopped her climb up the ladder but her direct in-house opponent Inna knows she can't sit on her hands and watch Elena try to upstage the pecking order. Enter Zoe Lister in mid-week boxing opportunity as Inna is ready to remind everyone why she's a better fighter than compatriot Gheorghe.

BBU TV's Georgie Thompson asks RI manager Corina Caragea why she doesn't order Inna and Elena to fight for the divisional supremacy and the answer is pretty simple: "We believe in both of them getting all the way to the top. Why hamper one of them with a potential loss? It's no good for the internal purpose either. We'd like to think of them as two "A"s!"

"I'm like an "A" and Elena is a "B"! Isn't that obvious?", Inna fires a friendly barb at her colleague but Georgie T. refuses to ask her what she really thinks of Gheorghe trying to steal her spotlight lately. First, she has to take care of former Girls Friday flameout Zoe Lister who hopes all the supremacy talk actually distracts Inna enough she can pull off the upset!

Inna wears a silver bikini set with red trim & red gloves. Long black hair tied in a curled ponytail. Zoe Lister wears a black bikini set & silver gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a sleek ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the flyweight division.

Round 1:
Zoe is hesitant to attack and gets punished straight up the middle with Inna blowing into her face from both flanks. Target practice performance from the singer who glues the blonde to the spot and dissects her high guard with relative ease. Zoe tries to swing back but only bounces off the brunette's forehead and eats a nasty hook on the jaw before Inna goes to work from the inside and tags the blonde's chin repeatedly. Zoe wobbles back onto the ropes but remains very sluggish in her response and prefers to apply the earmuff cover; Inna has none of it and NAILS her with a brutal cross hook on the nose that drops Lister into spasms. Ugh! Another left hook smokes the subdued actress on the ear moments later and DOWN SHE GOES!!! Zoe crashes down on her backside and blinks frantically but manages to get up at eight. She locks another clinch and survives the late push while Inna furiously pounds her to the body and barks in anger when the bell halts her charge.

Round 2:
Inna sprints across the boards and connects with Zoe's face almost immediately. She knocks her head back and there's nothing the blonde can do about it. She swings over the singer's head and eats more cruel hooks from the inside that bounce off her chin.. two.. three... four... enough! DOWN GOES LISTER!!! The former Hollyoaks starlet simply can't embrace this punishment and crashes down on her bums again. She produces a slow recovery and it's basically a glorified sparring session here but Inna wants to knock her opponent out! Ref refuses to stop the contest and Zoe almost begs him to do it! She's send back out there and succumbs to another jabbing drive... Inna whacks her on both temples before another uppercut on the jaw lays the blonde FLAT ON HER BACK!!! Okay, that's enough! Ref waves off the count and Zoe couldn't be more relieved it's finally over! KO2 Inna!!!

AFTER: Did we learn anything from this one-sided contest? Romanian Invasion manager Corina Caragea made Inna look awesome indeed but that's not the point. We all know the plucky singer can throw a mean punch but she's been fed a genuine jobber compared to stablemate Elena Gheorghe's last opponent. Maybe Ms Caragea wants to show everyone that Inna is still the nation's #1 flyweight? Just set up the ineviteable supremacy fight already!

Official Result: Inna def. Zoe Lister KO2.
