(6-8, 6 KO vs 10-2, 10 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: "Don't call me a forgotten woman! I'm still here and ready to make plenty of noise!", Jacqueline Jossa dismisses the media notion she's fallen off the elite radar in recent month and needs to yield prime time to cousin Megan who joined the Marti's Maulers on her quest to become a BBU fan favorite. Meanwhile Jacqueline hasn't tasted any success in over five years and her EastEnders tenure ended last year which means she's basically shopping for extra attention and booking a fight against a high-profile free agent like Vera Brezhneva seems a little desperate according to BBU TV's Denise van Outen.

Indeed Vera has her reasons behind tonight's PPV appearance. She's bitterly upset someone like Katie McGrath was given an eliminator shot at the bantamweight straps currently held by Vera's arch-nemesis Dorota Rabczewska but she can do little about it other than score more wins and hope the Polish singer grants her a proper rematch for the divisional title glory.

Jacqueline Jossa wears a red basque top, black knickers & red gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a sleek ponytail. Vera Brezhneva wears a light blue bikini set & yellow gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a curled ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Vera goes on a rampage early on and Jacqueline requires some fancy footwork to stay clear of the blonde's jabbing buzzsaw which leads into a one-sided pursuit during the opening minute. Vera doesn't care much about anything else than landing her shots and she catches the brunette with several nice hooks before Jossa responds over the top. However that response makes no impact whatsoever on the charging singer who traps her opponent on the ropes come the half-way mark and digs deep into her midsection since Jossa tails off behind a classic high earmuff. That's not gonna stop the Ukrainian babe at all though and Brezhneva rips more crisp hooks into the exposed flesh which makes Jacqueline sink on jelly knees with a loud whimper in the process. Vera keeps busting up the joint and has Jossa staggered against the turnbuckle before a nasty uppercut splits the earmuff and shakes the former EastEnders stalwart into more moaning struggle. The bell comes to the rescue but Jacqueline's comeback looks downright terrible here after just three minutes already.

Round 2:
Vera storms into another wild swinging approach and catches Jacqueline on the nose early on before both women engage a head-hunting blast which completely surprises Denise van Outen in the booth. It's like Jossa has run out of ideas already and wants to trade slugging leather against the in-form opponent which is a very bad idea... it gets worse when Brezhneva scythes the younger girl across the mouth with more volume and wobbles her on the heels before a drilling hook finds the jaw and sends Jacqueline into spasms... Ugh! Vera blows right by her ailing guard and lands a couple of extra uppercuts on the exposed chin TO SEND THE BRITISH GIRL DOWN ON HER KNEES!!! How about that? Vera barks towards the jeering audience but keeps shadow boxing during the slowish count that reaches eight before Jossa finally gets up. She nods back to the ref but gets swamped by the Ukrainian firestorm moments after the command and Vera goes all-in with her pesky hooks that create immedate swelling around the eyes as Jacqueline's pretty face serves as target punchbag more than anything else. She falls back to the ropes amid more loud spasms but just can't block Vera's punches with her face anymore, folks! She sinks into more verbal duress as the singer gets vocal in her head-hunting mad rush. She batters Jacqueline into stupor and FORCES HER DOWN ON HER KNEES AGAIN at the two-minute mark to raise more jeering response from the audience. The proud brunette somehow gets up at eight but can barely acknowledge the ref's pleas yet the fight isn't stopped for whatever reason and Vera is downright upset now. She steams across to pound Jacqueline's brains out and there's no response coming from the battered Brit anymore and she gets her lips all busted up into a bloody mess before she simply COLLAPSES FACE DOWN in the middle of another brutal rush from the dominant blonde. And it's all over! Vicious KO2 Vera Brezhneva!!!

AFTER: More loud jeers from the audience as Vera seems genuinely upset over something despite this crushing victory. Oh yeah, she wants Katie McGrath to know she's the better fighter and vows to strip Doda from the bantamweight straps as well but she's told to calm down as the medics attend the badly beaten Jacqueline in the so-called mean time. BBU TV's Denise van Outen claims the poor Bexley native ought to know better than this and booking someone as determined as Vera B. on her comeback was a truly bad idea. You just can't work this process on speed dial and Jacqui learned this old truth the hard way tonight. On the other hand the blonde singer looks every bit as dangerous as ever and is well poised to remain in the thick of divisional elite going forward regardless she hasn't made any fans here on PPV duty!

Final result: Vera Brezhneva def. Jacqueline Jossa KO2.
