And so here we go again – these women have fought 7 times, with Jessica knocking Alesha out in 5 of those fights. Alesha, though, still fancies her chances of beating the hard punching German, who has saddled and ridden her twice, had her stripped and caned her, and generally shown herself to be too good for the lovely Brit.

Alesha is first into the ring, looking incredible in an electric blue outfit

And she’s soon joined by Jessica in an all white leotard and boots, certainly the loser of the pre fight beauty contest!

Round 1
Alesha’s goading Jessica from the bell, inviting her to come and trade punches, but the German’s staying back a little, maybe not quite at peak fitness these days, although she’s using her extra height and reach well, still a superb boxer, her jab finding Alesha’s face before the Brit can get her into range, and this will be a hard night for Alesha if she keeps coming forwards aimlessly, as Jessica just lands jab after jab, Alesha already redfaced from the constant impact of that left glove, as she takes three punches to her face for every bodyshot she’s landing on the German babe, who grins more and more widely, telling Alesha, “You really aren’t fit to be in the ring with me, you bitch!” but the singer still comes forwards, lowering her attack from Jessica’s ribs to her fleshier midsection, and at last she seems to be making progress, although at the bell it’s clear that Jessica has taken the round

Round 2
After being reassured by her corner, Alesha comes out offering more punishment to Jessica’s body, and at last she hurts her with a heavy straight left to the gut, and forces the taller girl to hold to get through the following seconds, “Gotcha!” snaps Alesha, and tries out a swift combination to Jessica’s face, the taller girl taking the punches well, and she hits Alesha nicely when the referee breaks her hold, forcing the singer backwards, although she soon recovers and battles forwards, swinging a hefty left hook to the actress’s ribs, and that’s made her step backwards again, Alesha resisting the temptation to come too far forwards, remembering the times that the taller girl has knocked her down, whilst Jessica seems content to run down the clock, and concede the round, possibly waiting for the singer to burn herself out.

Round 3
Back they come into the centre of the ring, Alesha trying a jab and cross combination to Jessica’s face, but the taller girl easily blocks those punches, and lands her own instead, her solid left jab thudding into Alesha’s face, and rocking her head back, the singer hurt and backing off, pursued by Jessica, who works on Alesha’s body when she covers up, her left and right gloves swinging into that lovely torso, Alesha gasping in pain, as Jessica starts to dominate her, working her over once more, softening her up to bring down her resistance, then knock her out. But Alesha seems to be weathering the storm tonight, and she fights back, ignoring the trickle of blood coming from her nose, hitting Jessica with a solid uppercut, and she turns her, puts her on the ropes, and hits her some more, only to get tagged with a sweet right hook to make her knees tremble in the closing seconds, her face beginning to swell now as Jessica takes control

Round 4
It’s clear that Alesha took a drubbing in round 3, and her right cheek is sporting a painful looking lump on it as she comes forwards in round 4, Jessica finding it an easy target as she lands a couple more good jabs, but she misses the target with a right hook, and that gives the singer a chance to slip away sideways, Jessica going after her, looking like she really wants this now – but she walks into a super left hook from the Brit, and that’s sent her down to her knees! Jessica, puzzled and dazed, is up at 5, faces a smiling Alesha, who hits her again, punching the actress’s head left and right with good shots, and she’s got Jessica reeling, tries out an uppercut, which partially lands, the taller girl reeling backwards to the ropes, Alesha after her, has time to hit her enemy to the body, but the bell pauses the action, with Alesha’s fans celebrating.

Round 5
The two women move towards each other again, Alesha growling, “Come on bitch! Let’s get this over with!” and she hits Jessica to the ribs again, but soon has the grin wiped off her face when the German hits her with a swift left cross and right hook, the singer hurt and tottering, gets caught with another right hook, then with a left, and she’s on her back on the canvas, stunned, but soon stirring, on her feet at 8, but with a couple of minutes to survive – and Jessica gives her a sweet pair of jabs to send her backwards, the singer on the ropes now, Jessica hammering in some very tasty punches, Alesha’s head being swatted as she takes a beating, her eyes partly glazing as the taller girl works her over, sensing victory now as Alesha takes punishment, her nose bleeding more freely, and she’s been cut as well, her left eyebrow is cut open, and she’s in trouble, but stays on her feet, and even makes it through to the bell, but Jessica has her arms raised, telling Alesha, “Game over, you whore!”

Round 6
Jessica looks good now, back to her arrogant best, and she jabs Alesha hard in her swollen face, the blood from her gashed eyebrow already running down her face, but she’s still fighting, bravely coming forwards, and landing some neat punches on Jessica’s ribs, the taller girl not enjoying that attention at all, and she’s getting backed into a neutral corner, then punches her way out, that right jab of hers really messing up Alesha’s left eye, and she hurts the singer with a lovely combination, left and right crosses smacking into the Brit’s mouth, and she’s stumbling, trying to clinch, but Jessica doesn’t want to know, and she stands back and lands more jabs before Alesha manages to get out of range, the actress looking frustrated, “No point running, you whore! I’ll catch you!” but Alesha needs space, and she’s getting it, the babe still having the energy to stay away from Jessica, then as the round closes, she hits her to the ribs, and makes her stay still, before right hooking her jaw, “Yeah! Not til I catch you!” she sneers at the bell.

Round 7
Both women are still very mobile, and they’re at each other immediately, Alesha hitting the taller girl in the ribs again, then looking to hit her in the face, but Jessica beats her to the punch, sweetly smacking a left jab and a right cross into the Brit’s mouth, sending her backwards, and she follows up, hammering heavy hooks into Alesha’s gorgeous body, making the singer squeak and gasp, brings her guard down, and Jessica’s right glove smashes into Alesha’s left eye to reopen and possibly worsen that cut in her eyebrow, blood running down Alesha’s swollen cheek, the German grinning, telling the girl she regards as her beat up doll, “Won’t finish you off yet – I’m gonna hurt you some more!” then she rifles an uppercut into Alesha’s gut, and the singer stoops in pain, Jessica backing off, expecting the Brit to drop to the canvas, but, battered and bruised as she is, Alesha stays upright, and even fights back before the round ends, her left eye shut now, the referee clearly feeling he might need to step in, but Alesha makes it to the bell, Jessica raising her arms aloft, “I gotcha again, bitch!”

Round 8
Jessica looks like she wants to put Alesha into retirement right now, as she glides across the canvas, immediately banging punches into her rival’s messed up eye, blood immediately flowing again, the singer dropping backwards to her own corner, where Jessica clearly wants to keep her and finish her now, hitting the Brit to her body, the smack of gloves on flesh echoing around the quieting arena, the London fightfans aghast at the beating their girl is taking now, as Jessica softens her up for what should be a crushing defeat, but Alesha isn’t done yet, and fights back once more, mounting what will surely be one last futile effort as she clips the taller girl’s face with a left hook and a right hook, both punches landing, and Jessica wobbles! Suddenly, the smile disappears from the German babe’s lips, and she starts to cover up, but Alesha has found some new energy somehow, and bangs in a left uppercut, Jessica’s head flying upwards from her crouching pose, and her eyes have gone, the German is on autopilot, Alesha’s right hook flooring her, and now she’s the girl with arms aloft, as Jessica tries to get back up, gets to her hands and knees, then flops facedown on the canvas, down and out!

Result: Alesha Dixon knocked out Jessica Schwarz in round 8

Despite taking a lot of punishment, it’s Alesha celebrating after the fight, dancing in front of Jessica, demanding, “Get on your knees and kiss my feet!” but security guards aren’t allowing any such punishment, as Jessica snarls, “One more fight, bitch! This time in Berlin!” to which Alesha’s squeals, “Anyfuckingwhere you want!”
