(Fates Boxing vs Girls Friday)

(Written by Girls Friday/Results by Lookout!)

Intro:
Rematch time as Karen Gillan returns to the BBU to help celebrate her former stables anniversary, while hoping to repeat her success the last time she met Josephine Skriver in the ring, ironically the last time she was in a BBU ring was knocking out Josephine in seven rounds in November 2019, the Utilita Arena in Newcastle holds the rematch.

Karen's history with the Girls Friday stable wasn't a long one, she signed for the stable several months after it was founded, then moved to the Lookout! Atlantic Boxing stable, now she is the head welterweight fighter for the Fates Stable, hoping to finally become a world champion in celebrity boxing with their support.

Still Karen seems to be friendly with the Girls Friday stable management, doing a video for their social media account, where she tells the fans "wow ten years of craziness, I remember being in the early days of the stable where I'd be the shy girl watching Claire King slap Daisy Lowe for back chatting her, girls hitting the bars after training looking for fights, as much as I was nervous at the time looking back on it they helped me break out my shell, seeing where the stable has gone to is just amazing, though Josephine I am coming to knock you out again" winking at the end of the video with a big smile.

Josephine did her own video after working out as she sits on a bench in the G.F gym, wiping her brow with a towel before putting it around the back of her neck and shoulders, telling the camera "I am so pleased to be here to celebrate this milestone for our little stable, I've only been here several years and still you can see pictures of the great fighters who have trained here, I hope someday on the walls I have my picture there with a title belt over my shoulder, right now though I need to fix a mark on my record, Karen you deserved to beat me the first time around, this time me and all my fans are coming so you better not run" grinning as she nods to the camera.

Fighting time, out first comes Karen as she has Ana Beatriz Barros beside her, Karen as usual gets a loud warm welcome, the loveable Scottish fighter always brings support with her, she is wearing a navy blue sports bra with a blue tartan pattern trunks, navy blue shoes and gloves, her hair tied into a braid as channels her national pride, stepping into the ring jogging around the ring blowing kisses to show her love to the fans, settling into her corner to go through her warm up as she looks determined.

Now here comes Josephine with her coach Taryn Terrell and cut woman Eva Carneiro, Josephine heads down the ring with a smile, enjoying the whistles and loud cheers she is getting, she is wearing a maroon sports bra with white trim, matching trunks and shoes, white gloves as the Danish fighter steps into the ring, nodding over to Karen before going through her own warm up routine.

The fighters step to the center of the ring, eyes firmly locked onto their opponent as their hands are on their hips, duelling chants ringing out as the crowd seems evenly split, when told to touch gloves they do so respectfully, Karen even wishing Josephine a genuine good luck before they head back to their stools, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of welterweight action.

Round 1:
Stepping out their corners to fight, both women trading stiff jabs, throwing in more rights behind it then how they started the first fight, more of an idea of what they have to face in front of them, a missed right by Josephine allows Karen to land a counter right across her face to knock her back a step.

Back goes Josephine as Karen starts to open up on her, Josephine covering up as a three punch combo comes straight towards her face, she finds herself backed near the ropes, deflecting Karen's left cross as she lands a counter right to the nose of the Scottish lass to knock her head back.

Action switches around with Josephine now the one on the front foot, drilling in a one-two punch through the gloves of Gillan, pressing her near the ropes as she controls the center of the ring, both showing their skills off as they keep finding ways to dodge then land counter punches.

Final minute of the round sees Karen get clocked across her cheek with a right hook, knocked into a neutral corner by the Danish fighter, Karen shelling up as Josephine is throwing piston like punches, switching up nicely when she sees openings, the bell rings with Skriver nodding to her corner crew, happy with how the round went.

Round 2:
Stepping back out to exchange, Karen dips under a left to land in a straight to the chest of Josephine, followed by an overhand right that cracks the Dane on her cheek, knocking her back to the ropes with more straight punches till Josephine can hold onto her.

Broken apart by the referee, the fighters trade straight punches as they circle, being the same height with similar reaches means it is coming down to who can time their attacks the best, Josephine the next one to land flush with a straight to knock Karen backwards, stepping in with hooks to the body till she is held by the redhead.

After half way through the round it has been pretty even, Karen leans out the way of a right cross, landing a one-two, then stepping to the right side of Josephine to land a hard left hook to the side of her head, now it's Gillan on top as she knocks Skriver into a neutral corner.

Josephine soaking up punches on her arms and gloves, trying to fight out the corner, problem is she is being outworked as Karen swings in short right hooks to the body, while she throws jabs to try to keep that guard high, not making it easy at all for Skriver, when the round ends Karen looks happy with herself after that round, being patted on the back by Ana when she sits on her stool.

Round 3:
Again another even start from the fighters, cheeks starting to get marked up as they open up more, stretching their elbows with more hooks flying in, Josephine lands a double jab to the lips of Karen, leaning out the way of a left hook before drilling in a counter right to the top of her opponent's head.

Taking the center of the ring, Josephine wants to start bullying Karen it seems, getting a warning when she shoves the actress onto the ropes, hammering in two body shots before she gets caught over the top by a right cross, each time Karen tries to fight off the ropes she is either caught with a punch or pushed back.

A one-two catches Karen into her chest to make her hiss, then a right cross smacks her across the face, Karen finding herself worked into a neutral corner, where she gets clipped around the side of her head by hooks, holding onto the blonde to give herself time to think as the referee needs to split them apart.

Less then a minute to go now with Josephine wanting to keep the heat on her opponent, missing with a left cross as Karen crouches down, instead an overhand right catches Josephine on her jaw, back onto the ropes she goes now as Karen pounds away at her body, taking some clipping punches to her head in reply till the bell rings to end the round, a strong round for Skriver, Gillan showing she isn't going to let herself be bullied around.

Round 4:
Trading stiff jabs right away, Karen not wanting it to be as easy for Josephine to bully her back, but Karen isn't attacking more then really single punches, focused on her defensive skills right now while Josephine is trying to create openings it seems by her movement around Karen.

Pouncing with a double jab into the chest of Karen, Josephine takes a glancing left to her cheek, hammering a straight into the face of Karen as she knocks her onto her heels at the end of the opening minute of the round, driving back Karen to the outside part of the round.

Karen showing her resolve to fight back, both striking to the others face, a cut opening up on the bottom lip of Karen as Josephine is landing with more power as she has more room to work, Karen soon needing to clinch up with Skriver, forcing the referee to step in to pull them apart.

The final forty seconds sees Josephine trying to push the pace, a right catches under her the chin, Karen stuffing her back onto her heels with a left hook on the jaw, Josephine covering up as she gets driven into her own corner, pounded to the body by Karen till the bell rings, Josephine just needing to sit on her stool as Karen jogs back to her own corner, taking a breath to keep calm under this pressure coming at her.

Round 5:
Looking to keep on the front foot, Josephine throws in a few one-two's, out working Karen in the opening moment's, she tries a right hook that finds air as Karen leans out the way, landing a sweeping left hook in reply, followed by an uppercut to knock back Josephine two steps.

It looks like Karen is done being knocked back, now she is the one throwing the heavy leather, keeping Josephine near the ropes, Josephine able to land single punches, while she is taking the one-two combos into her face, a left cross smacks under the eye of the model, opening a small cut up.

Pushing back Karen to open up space, Josephine fires back, with both women going toe to toe, sweat with a little blood goes flying, an uppercut catches Josephine to make her back off, another left across that cut has the blonde crying out as she finds herself knocked to the ropes.

Final moments of the round seeing Josephine shelling up as Karen works in hooks, when the bell rings Karen heads back to her corner getting a thumbs up from Ana, while Eva has to patch up Josephine when she sits on her stool, wincing as it is clearly painful.

Round 6:
Tables have turned as Josephine is now the one boxing behind her jab, trying to not let Karen chase her down, with the redhead now in hunter mode, using feints to try to bait the Dane into a mistake, landing several digging body shots too.

Trying to catch Karen with a right hook, Josephine misses and instead is hit with an overhand left across that cut, Josephine cries out as her eyes shut, AN UPPERCUT CATCHES JOSEPHINE FLUSH ON HER CHIN! DOWN GOES SKRIVER ONTO HER BACK WITH A THUD! REFEREE CHECKS JOSEPHINE AND SAYS SHE IS OUT COLD!

Winner Karen Gillan KO Round 6

After:
There's a hush in the arena as the winning run of the Girls Friday stable tonight has come to an abrupt end, Karen looking worried for Josephine as she kneels next to her, Taryn rushing with the ringside doctor to check on the out cold woman, getting her gumshield out then using smelling salts to bring her back around.

Josephine splutters before slowly being checked over by the doctor, Taryn thanking Karen for showing care but asking her to give them room, Karen nods before she walks back to her corner, giving a hug from Ana.

Soon Josephine with help stands up, making Karen smile in relief, she wanted to win but not badly hurt her opponent, being placed on her stool, Josephine admits "I need to stop asking to fight Karen" grinning as she shows her sense of humour hasn't been hurt, even though she needs to be patched up by Eva.

Once Karen is cleaned up she heads to check on Josephine, showing why she is so popular amongst fighters and the fans as she talks to Skriver, both smiling as the anger felt during the fight has washed away, exchanging a fist bump to show their respect for each other, before Karen can head off Taryn asks "coming to the party, we were once your home?" Karen nods as she says "of course" hugging Taryn as the former stablemates smile warmly.

Helped out of the ring, Taryn jokes to Josephine "you are on water tonight, no sneaking champagne" making Josephine pout then smile, Eva shaking her head in disbelief that Josephine can be still so relaxed after being brutally knocked out.

In the ring Karen blowing kisses to the fans as she goes on a lap of honour, before she leaves the ring with her coach, Karen definitely feels like the biggest loss to the Girls Friday stable in their history, she has really found herself in the Fates stable over the past two years, the question is more when, not if she wins a world title.
