(Lioness Club vs BBU Independent)
(29-16, 28 KO vs 12-5, 12 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: Former three-time BBU bantamweight champion Jessica Schwarz is few years removed from her peak but she still intends to reach the 50-fight milestone before calling it a day. She passed over another trip down the Alesha Dixon memory lane and picked Ukrainian singer Vera Brezhneva as the Lioness 10th Anniversary opponent which has become a very popular choice around Barnet.

Vera is no stranger to fighting the Lioness opposition and would like to take revenge on Dorota Rabczewska sooner rather than later but even she recognizes how important the Schwarz scalp can become in the big picture. And Denise van Outen believes the German actress is an inferior boxer to Rabczewska these days anyway!

Jessica Schwarz wears a red crop top, black hotpants & golden gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a braid. Vera Brezhneva wears a light blue bikini top & yellow gloves. Long blonde hair with bangs tied in a curled ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Jessica eyes a quick start as she's not really capable of extending the action at age 44 but this also plays into Vera's hands who accepts the slugging invitation and lets it rip up the middle. She catches the German veteran on the chin and settles down in the aggressive pursuit while soaking up steady single-hand assault from the older woman. Jessica doesn't yield an inch in her jabbing response but makes little impression on the blonde singer who mops up another close range tussle and drives the actres onto the ropes where she belts her in the exposed breadbasket for a good measure. Jessica gives her a lenghty stare at the bell but Vera wins back at her full of smiles!

Round 2:
More aggressive swings from the Ukrainian singer who gallops into the brunette's midsection and makes her look very sluggish here indeed. Jessica applies immediate stalemate instead of puching back at the younger woman but Brezhneva shakes off the clinch and blows into the German's face with additional venom. Ugh! Jessica slumps on her heels and gets blasted onto the ropes as Vera gets too excited with the lack of resistance and gets stuck in another clinching effort after all. Jessica pings her on the exposed kidneys but eats another harpoon blast and slumps into loud spasms at the bell again.

Round 3:
Vera cranks up the jabbing volume and sends the former champion into immediate tailspin when she nails her on both temples before a booming hook on the nose DROPS SCHWARZ DOWN ON HER BACKSIDE!!! Ugh! That happened so fast even Lioness coach Mel B. couldn't voice her anger in time! Jessica looks as stunned as anyone inside the KO Club but she bravely gets up at seven and tries to run it back at the rampant blonde. Vera slips by the initial attack and rips one big left harpoon on the liver that FOLDS JESSICA ONTO HER KNEES and she's simply unable to fend off the internal pain. She rolls into a tortoise position and endures one of the most humiliating ten counts of her otherwise impressive career! All over!!! KO3 Vera Brezhneva!!!

AFTER: Talk about making a three time champion look old & washed-up! It seems like Jessica has pushed her career way past the sell date and might stumble into that intended 50-figt milestone with more of these ugly losses indeed. Then again, the Lioness Club might be fortunate Vera didn't get to fight Dorota Rabczewska after all as the Polish singer still offers more elite upside and it would be a bigger blow if she run into this Ukrainian buzzsaw tonight! BBU TV's Denise van Outen claims Vera is back into elite conversation and it's hard to argue that stance given how she handed a BBU legend a beating for the ages!

Official Result: Vera Brezhneva def. Jessica Schwarz KO3.
