Intro:
Two of the best of the past clash for the first ever time, Dannii Minogue has been the face of the ACB since it was formed, Lucy Liu has been the face of Asian celebrity boxing for the past two decades, so it is fitting that the Royal Albert Hall is the venue for this clash.

The BBU TV Network were lucky enough to get a few words from both women on their set, first up they had Dannii Minogue with pictures of her defeating the likes of her great rival Cheryl Cole on the walls, along with her winning the AWUBA title when that organization was around, along with her posting over her own sister Kylie when she beat her, the Green & gold magazines Sarah Cummings doing the interview.

Dannii is asked about what this fight means to her, she admits "I wish this had been a few years ago when we were younger, still I know that Lucy still hits the gym hard, her fight with Jenna Louise Coleman a few years ago shows she has that type of class that never really dulls with age" Sarah listens intently, nodding along as she agrees with Dannii's assessment.

The subject then changes to what Dannii thinks will happen in this fight, she tells Sarah "I am ready for this, for years I have been the best in Australia, I have won us Ashes against the prized girl here Cheryl, I know I will knockout Lucy, my raw power is too much for her as I make another highlight on British soil" Sarah grinning at Dannii, who made sure to have another dig at her bitter enemy Cole whenever she gets the chance.

Lucy meanwhile has a picture of one of her wars with Jaime Pressly, one of her first official title win over Brandy Ladford, and her last major win over Hayden Panettierre, she sits with Denise Van Outen joking that she isn't as used to being interviewed now after doing interviews for the FCBA Network over the last two years.

Lucy tells Denise "I have plenty of respect for Dannii, she has always been a hell of a scraper, we have spoken before about fighting but it never happened of course, now I get a chance to add to my legacy, win in a second organization" Lucy smiling all the while as she looks relaxed.

Asked how she sees the fight going, Lucy replies "I know Dannii will want to make it a bar room brawl style, I will stick and move, use the skills that have made me have a wall full of title belts, she'll need to be at her best to beat me, may the best woman win as they say, of course I think that is me" laughing as Denise chuckles with her, then they shake hands as Lucy leaves the set.

Fight night, out first comes Dannii with an Australia flag draped over her shoulders, her coach Nikki Visser following as Dannii looks all business, Nikki taking the flag from Dannii so she can jog up the steps, she is wearing a green sports bra with gold trim, matching trunks and shoes, gold gloves, while her hair is up into a ponytail.

She gets into the ring giving the fans a quick wave, she is looking her usual focused self as Nikki doesn't need to say a word, instead she let's Dannii shadow box as the Minogue fans are chanting her name.

Here comes Lucy now wearing a white satin robe, she waves to the crowd when she jogs down the aisle with her coach behind her, seeing the ring her demeanor changes to a more icy one as she stares through the ropes at her opponent, knowing the time to settle this is now.

The robe comes off at the ring steps, revealing Lucy is wearing a white sports bra, white trunks with three thin red stripes on both sides, matching boots, red gloves, while her hair is tied into a ponytail too, she heads to her corner eyes locked onto Dannii as she stretches to limber up.

When they come to the middle the fighters go nose to nose, for years they have been able to get into opponents heads over the years, well tonight they meet someone with as solid a will as they have, touching gloves up before jogging to their corners, the crowd roar as the bell rings, starting 10 rounds of flyweight action.

Round 1:
At the bell both fighters nod at each other as they step out their corners, the respect gets left there as the stiff jab fly in, Lucy moves back out the way of a left hook, getting back in closer with a one-two into the face of Dannii, showing off her speed over Minogue.

Stepping in and out of range, Lucy starts off strong as Dannii a little too keen to land a power punch, getting too open in the first minute as she is getting her face peppered by the older fighter, crowd chanting both fighters names.

As Lucy steps in with a jab, Dannii deflects it then hammers in a left hook, a straight then knocks back the head of Liu, who gets to understand the power of Minogue, who switches up nicely to bang into the abs of the American to make her groan out.

A one-two catches Dannii on her chin, but when Lucy tries to get off the ropes, a right cross catches her on the jaw, with a left following to turn the head of Lucy, who finds herself pressed onto the ropes, covering up as the former AWUBA champion is in her face.

At the bell it's a strong start for Dannii, she jogs back to her corner with an icy stare aimed at Lucy as she sits down, Lucy staring right back as they are now in all business mode, coaches wiping them down as sweat coats their brows.

Round 2:
Digging punches into each others faces as they move around the ring, Lucy starting to dip down more, look for openings to the body as Dannii sets up her punches more behind a jab, a chess match breaking out early in the round.

Dannii lands a left to the body, a short right into the abs of Lucy, pressing the Asian fighter back towards the ropes, forcing Lucy to grab onto her, disrupting her attacks as the referee has to step in, breaking the fighters up as Liu moves off the ropes into space.

When Dannii tries to quickly follow in with a straight, Lucy dips under it to land a left/right uppercut combo into the body, then an overhand left across the jaw of Minogue as she shows off a flash of the hand speed that made her one of the greatest.

Back goes Dannii as Lucy hammers her to the body, Dannii shoves her back but misses with a left hook as Lucy easily leans out the way before popping the singer on her lips with a straight, Lucy outboxing a frustrated looking Dannii as the round heads to a close.

When the bell does ring it's a great return round for Lucy after a bad first for her, both women are not in their primes, the crowd is still showing their love for both with duelling chants, the fighters continue to stare hard across the ring, knowing they might be in for one of the hardest fights of their career.

Round 3:
Knowing what they are facing both look a little more cautious not to make a mistake in the opening moments, switching up their punches more so not to be too predictable, Lucy looks to be starting to get her rhythm going with a three punch combo drilling through Dannii's guard after she feints with a left to the body.

As Lucy starts to get the center of the ring, Dannii deflects a straight to hammer home one of her own into the lips of her opponent, a left cross then cuts across them, causing some blood to run from the bottom lip of Liu as she backs off, when Dannii tries to step in a double jab lands into her forehead to make her think twice.

After the opening minute Dannii is looking for ways to close the gap as Lucy is looking good at range, a knocked aside jab from Lucy allows Dannii to bullrush her into her own corner, Lucy's coach yelling at her to fight out of it, easier said then done when Minogue is unleashing her power punches on you, some blood flies as Lucy's head gets turned to the side.

Grabbing onto Dannii to stop the assault, Lucy is scowling as both women grind bodies together, referee splits them up with Dannii quick to make sure she stays in the face of Lucy, forcing close range firefights that are suiting her down to a tee.

At the bell Lucy bangs her gloves together as she shows her annoyance, returning to her corner with her coach patching up that bottom lip, Nikki meanwhile gives Dannii praise as she washes her fighters face, Dannii nodding as she looks keen to keep on fighting, almost a hint of a smile on her face.

Round 4:
Lucy is boxing more on the back foot, laying an early trap for Dannii as the singer tries to catch her with a left hook, that finds air as Lucy steps in under it to hammer in two rights under the ribs of her opponent, then she steps back to range as she gets clipped across the top of her head with a right.

Moving around the ring with Dannii being aggressive without landing much meaningful in the opening minute, it's Lucy dictating the action as she dips under punches, hammering in more body shots to wear down the slugger.

Dannii finally lands a left to the lips of Lucy as she baits her in with a feint, the Aussie showing she knows this game as she knocks back Lucy's head with a one-two combo, pressing her back onto the ropes to the joy of Nikki, problem is she gets held when she does get her there, referee needed to split them up.

Once apart Lucy catches Dannii out with a double jab into her face, leaning out the way of a right cross as she counters with a straight onto the nose of Minogue to push her back onto her heels, with Liu now driving her towards the ropes with a quick fire five punch flurry that Dannii mostly protects herself from.

When the round ends it's Lucy evening things up again, Dannii nodding as she returns to her corner, knowing she isn't going to blast out Lucy as easily as she does some opponent's, with Lucy taking a drink with her eyes firmly on Dannii.

Round 5:
Fighters come together around the center of the ring, Lucy drilling in more punches towards the chest of Dannii, hoping to upset her into mistakes, with Dannii missing with a left hook as Lucy moves out the way, a one-two landing square into the nose of Dannii to make her back off.

Again Lucy is using her boxing IQ to create openings, feinting, jabbing to the chest, head movement, getting in some beautiful counter punches to make Dannii cover up as blood starts to trickle from the nose of Minogue, making Liu's coach smile as now both have something to worry about.

Halfway point in the round Lucy gets caught coming in with a left cross, Dannii using her experience to get a read on her, slamming a straight into the lips of Lucy to make her groan as blood starts to run from them again, on comes Dannii as she is landing thudding punches till she is held, Lucy not stupid enough to let Dannii tee off on her.

Problem she is having as the round goes on is Dannii isn't letting her off the hook so easily, more fiery exchanges happening as Lucy is being pressed around the outside part of the ring, sweat with blood goes flying as they let their hands go up until the bell rings to end the round.

Back on their stools they are getting patched up, Lucy being warned not to get involved in firefights with Dannii, who bangs her gloves together as she stares at Lucy, getting annoyed that she hasn't been able to really pin her down.

Round 6:
Coming back out to fight, they box around the ring as Lucy continues to let Dannii come at her, slamming in counter punches, till Dannii feints with a left, when Lucy swings in a left cross that misses, a counter right slams into the chin of Liu to snap her head back.

A left hook then catches Lucy on her temple, she stumbles away as Dannii is hammering her back, Lucy trying to fight back but is struggling to keep her off her, AN UPPERCUT ROCKS LUCY BACK A STEP, A RIGHT HOOK SLAMS ACROSS THE CHIN OF LIU TO SEND HER TUMBLING TO THE CANVAS ON HER RIGHT SIDE!

Dannii raises her arms into the air as she heads to the neutral corner, 1...2...3.. Lucy rolling to her back groaning, 4....5...6.. Gumshield hanging out her mouth as she shuts her eyes, 7...8...9...10 that's it! Lucy is out for the count!

Winner Dannii Minogue KO Round 6

After:
Dannii wins the battle of the legends, she turns to the crowd and roars out with her arms flexed, getting a loud cheer from her supporters as Nicky is jumping for joy on the ring apron, loving seeing her fighter and long time friend add another legend to her record.

Going over to her corner, Dannii gets a hug from Nicky, as behind them Lucy is helped to sit up, she shakes her head to clear it, seeing Dannii celebrating has Lucy shaking her head disappointed that isn't her.

Over comes Dannii once Lucy is helped to her feet, neither says much but they shake hands, a clear sign of respect between them, with Dannii thanking Lucy for the opportunity to fight her, Lucy smiles as she replies "likewise" before she is helped out the ring, giving Dannii the spotlight she deserves.

With Minogue getting her left hand raised, Sarah Cummings and Dannii's sister Kylie might be sharing a glass of champagne over this victory, with Dannii going on a victory lap inside the ring, her name being chanted by the fans as she wipes a few tears away, she knows her career has to wind down sometime, right now though she is still a dominant force in the ring to not take lightly.

Climbing out the ring, Dannii carries her gloves as Nicky promises to buy her a few drinks, Dannii certainly not turning that down as she smiles a little more wider then when she won, what's next for Dannii? Well hopefully we find out soon enough.
