Intro:
A major fight for two of the undefeated fighters in the bantamweight division, Lacey Turner and Olympia Valance eye using the other as the stepping stone to a BBU title shot.

Olympia is 26 years old; she stands 5'8 and holds a record of 8 wins, also all by knockout since she debuted in 2016.

The fighters were interviewed by Denise Van Outen before the fight at their gyms, with Lacey first asked about her opinions on the fight as she finished up sparring with Carly Cole.

"The past few years have been too slow for me, I have been after fights like this for a long time but all the old hag's that were around here stole the limelight, now this is my time" says Lacey with an angry look.

She relaxes as she continues "I'll admit that Olympia is going to be tough, she is like me in being undefeated, she hasn't had a taste of power like mine though, let's see how she handles that toned body of hers me ripping away at it" winking as she takes a drink.

The final question is about getting a shot at Doda, she answers "I'll be calling her out when I've dealt with Olympia, let's see how tough she really is"

Olympia is asked by Denise about Lacey as she sits on a weight bench, smiling as she shakes hands with the blonde before she speaks.

"Lacey is definitely a good fighter, she has proven to be tough to be and durable, I fancy the job" smiling as she flexes her arm to show why she feels up for beating Lacey.

"It helps I have the height over her, so it is all about me using my boxing skills to keep her back, hurt her and knock her out when I can" says a serious looking Olympia.

When asked about the bantamweight title, Olympia replies "bring it on! I don't care that Doda is a loud mouthed bytch, I want the title and I don't care who I have to beat for it"

After:
What a way to end the fight! Olympia falls to her knees as she is exhausted from this back and forth war, she is looking over at Lacey with definite respect in her eyes.

Lacey on the other hand looks glassy eyed; well the one good eye, the other eye is shut as she looks around in shock that she is on the canvas.

Katie looks like she wants to shout about this result, but as she looks over the wreckage of both women, she bites her tongue and focuses on getting Lacey back to her corner to be washed down and patched up.

While Sophia and Eva rush to do the same with Olympia, who doesn't look much a winner as she sheds tears of joy after overcoming by far her toughest challenge to date.

Once both women are cleaned up; they slowly head to the center of the ring with help from their coaches, the crowd stand to give both warriors a standing ovation, making them smile at the fans.

After Olympia is announced the victor; she makes sure to go over to Lacey, with both embracing as they show no hard feelings over tonights result.

Katie helps Lacey out of the ring, with her fans chanting her name and even Olympia applauding her, Lacey thanks the fans as she fights back more tears, Katie telling her she earned those chants, next time the crowd will be like this when she wins the title.

Inside the ring; Sophia and Eva both give Olympia a hug, with Olympia having to tell them to loosen up as she hurts from head to toe, making all three smile.

Olympia shouts to the crowd "you can't hide forever Doda! I want the gold guys!" To a loud cheer from her supporters, she definitely has a claim now after this victory, though plenty of others will argue their case too.

As Olympia leaves the ring; Sophia helps her with Eva on the other side, Olympia is grinning all the way to the back, so proud of herself for overcoming Lacey tonight.

The big talking point for Denise Van Outen on commentator, after getting a look at the scorecards from the judges, all three had it 85 to 84 to Lacey going into that final round, that's how close things were, so a rematch somewhere down the road will probably get more steam now.
