Marti Mauler's vs Kear's Kats

Venue:Emirates Stadium,London.

These self-proclaimed bad girls were destined one day to meet and today's the day.

The promoters loved fuelling the fires of this feud,free publicity doesn't half help get bums on seats.

And thus the Emirates stadium was bulging at the seams,unlike Wenger's final season of protests and empty chairs.

Melissa misdemeanours ultimately led to her firing from the London soap in 2010,a series of provocative social media snaps proving the final straw for BBC bosses.

As for Stephanie her departure befitted any soap script she was given her marching orders,after turning up late on set due to heavy nights of drinking and partying.

For the former she was downgraded to bit-part TV roles and theatre work.

Fortunately for the latter her infamous Celebrity Big Brother stint in 2016,kept her public profile high albeit for negative reasons.

She attested to the adage no publicity is bad publicity,and so when Hollyoaks boss Bryan Kirkwood offered the Merseysider a shock return to the soap she accepted with open arms.

Pre-fight press conference:

Melissa sneering at her rival,the blonde bombshell revealing her sexy curves,in a tight-fitting scarlet top and short hip hugging black skirt,flat black shoes.

"So Steph who did you have to bed this time to get back onto the Hollyoaks set", taunted the Londoner.

"Who gets brahms and liszt on set for heaven's sake" continued the blonde".

"Anyway your only going in one direction tonight and that's down to the canvas" finished a cocksure Melissa.

Her trademark smirk emerging as she concluded,before posing for the paps.

Stephanie also dressing to impress the actress, 25, wore a figure hugging strapless dress which showcased her assets to perfection.

Stilletto Laboutin shoes accompanied her outfit,the star was glammed to perfection with plenty of smokey eye makeup to accentuate her beauty and had her curly locks tied up in a simple up do.

Clearly winning the fashion stakes mattered as much for these ladies as the boxing that was to follow later in the evening.

"Little girl your in the big league now,i saw what Lucy flippin Fallon did and that will seem like a picnic compared to what i'm gonna do to your ugly mug".

"Smellie you will be sorry you stepped into the ring with me" promised Stephanie.

And she also posed seductively,her trademark pout on display.

These girls would have ripped their manicured hairstyles to shreds,if it wasn't for the small matter of dozens of security staff in attendance,the promoters didn't want anything to halt this needle match.

Fight night:

The MC presenting Melissa first.

"With a BBU record of 7 fights,4 wins all by way of KO and 3 defeats."
