Intro:
The second bout on Paradise Island for beach boxing with a battle of two Geordie's, Perrie Edwards and Marnie Simpson fighting for their local supremacy, who will be pushed down the rankings in the battle to be the best from the North East?

Perrie comes into this fight on a three fight losing run that continued January gone when she was knocked out by Nadine Coyle, you have to go back three years for her last win when she knocked out Fergie.

Compare that to Marnie's run of six wins in a row that ended last year at the hands of another Geordie in Cheryl Cole, she would get her seventh career win earlier this year over the tough Jorgie Porter to show she isn't going to go away from being a title contender so easily.

The fighters were asked for a few words back in their hotel the night before by BBU TV reporter Kate Abdo, who first headed into Perrie's hotel room to see the Little Mix singer in a good mood as she sits taking her make up off.

"Hey Kate, I have had enough of that bloody Marnie, so to finally get to punch her in that mug, all those fakes on that damn Geordie Shore have had me pissed off for too long" says Perrie as she turns to face Kate and her camera crew with a grin.

"Once I kick that bytches arse I am going to sunbath and all you fans of can see my pictures of my flawless body in a bikini, see what a real woman looks like" waving her hands in front of herself, Perrie winking to the camera before Kate gives her time to prepare for her sleep.

Heading into Marnie's room, Kate nearly catches a peep at more then she wants as Marnie just about knots up her dressing gown in time, laughing as she sees Kate look uncomfortable at catching at a peak at what was underneath, Marnie jokes "I know I am hotter then you Kate, no need to be embarrassed by that" Kate scowls at Marnie.

"God get me in that ring, I am so desperate to get a few drinks in, that f***ing bytch Perrie wanted this so badly she should come in here now and save her the public humiliation" Marnie says as she sits on her bed, crossing her legs as Kate stays close to the camera.

Asked what her goals are, Marnie points at her waist, saying "let's keep this simple pet, this deserves a title around it, I have had enough of Diana f***ing Korkunova, but that's for another night rite?" Grinning as she waves Abdo out the room.

Fighting time with the ring posts set into the sand, two bleachers facing each other on two sides of the ring, a judges table with the coast behind it on the opposite side of where the fighters are going to come onto the beach.

First onto the beach comes with Perrie heading on alongside her coach Kelly Rowland, she is wearing a white bikini with a floral pattern, white gloves along with her hair tied back into a ponytail.

She steps into the ring with a hard look on her face, banging her gloves together as she jogs to her corner, Kelly telling her to bring Marnie down to her knees, their manager Frankie Cocozza watching from the front row with a grin.

Marnie heads onto the beach now alongside her coach, she blows kisses to the camera nearest her as she wears a violet bikini with matching gloves, her hair is tied back into a braid as she looks in a playful mood.

Getting into the ring, Marnie waves to the crowd as she jogs to her corner, smirking as her eyes lock onto Perrie, banging her gloves together too to show she wants to lay them onto her opponent quickly.

The fighters come together at the center of the ring, bumping boobs as they exchange insults, coaches are needed to pull back the fighters before it explodes before that opening bell.

No touch of gloves shows the lack of respect they have for the other, instead jogging back to their corners, gumshields are placed in as final instructions are told to the fighters by their coaches, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of flyweight action.

Round 1:
Coming out their corners with a stern look for their opponent, both fire out jabs to start off till Marnie slips one to come into the inside, landing to the body of Perrie with a left/right straight into the abs.

Forcing Perrie quickly to the outside of the ring, Marnie seems to have caught her opponent out, maybe Perrie underestimating Marnie as the brunette fires in several overhand punches to the cheeks of the singer.

Who needs to nudge back Marnie, then when the aggressive Simpson tries to force her way back in close, Perrie lands a double jab to the top of Marnie's head, moving off the ropes as she follows with a right to the jaw to knock Marnie back.

Over a minute left to go in the round, both fighters going hammer and tongs at the center, Perrie doing a better job now of keeping Marnie on the outside, with each woman snarling before throwing another hard shot.

In the dying moments of the round, Marnie ducks a right cross to hammer in a left hook to the body, followed by an overhand right to the jaw of Edwards, who eats another overhand left just as the bell rings to end the round, Marnie grins at Perrie before they return to their corners.

Round 2:
Returning back to fighting near the ring center, Perrie this time expects the charge from Marnie, she steps back to pound a double jab into the smaller fighters head, happily circling around the ring side to side as she times Marnie coming in.

Arrogance now being shown by Marnie, she is keeping her hands too low as she expects to get in closer sooner then later, instead getting smacked straight into her face to mark it up.

A jab/right cross seems to waken up Marnie to the trouble she is causing herself, blood runs down her chin from her bottom lip after a left smacks across her mouth, her guard going up tighter as Perrie turns the heat up on her.

Around the outside of the ring now goes Marnie, the Little Mix fans in the crowd look happy as Perrie starts to swing in several hooks to the body, making Marnie groan out as she keeps in close range, beating her fellow Geordie up.

But she leaves her left too low, a right hook smacks into the side of her head as Marnie yells "bytch!" Fighting back as she lands another right hook to force Perrie to retreat to the center, where they give the crowd a grandstand finish to the round, slugging it out to the bell.

Where both call the other a one word insult before jogging to their corner, Kelly much happier with Perrie that round, not so much the ending though as she reminds her not to get into a brawl with Marnie, who she says is looking for a street fight like the w**** she is, telling you how little respect they have for their opponent.

Round 3:
Again Perrie seems to have her calm back, she is out boxing around Marnie, doubling up her jab as she looks to keep her opponent at range, Marnie tightening her guard up this time so she isn't as easy to hit.

Though Marnie over the first minute to finding it hard to land much clean, the Little Mix singers footwork can never be questioned, she is basically dancing around the reality star in the sand, drilling in punches to those bloody lips, while sidestepping her when she gets in closer.

Dipping down under a straight, Marnie closes the gap quicker to bash away with hooks to the body, her head nearly slams into the chin of Perrie as she drives her onto the ropes, where again those overhand shots seem to be giving Edwards some trouble.

Pushing back Marnie, Perrie slams a left across her cheek as now there is less then a minute to go, she bashes back the brunette across the ring to the other set of ropes, where Simpson has to shield herself as a flurry comes towards her face, most are blocked while some smack her head back.

Pulling Perrie into a clinch, the final moments of the round sees Marnie grappling with her opponent till they both fall to the sand, the referee struggles to break them apart as they try to pin each other down, bedlam breaking out as they both think they are clubbing on a Friday night again at the quayside.

Once they are back up, the bell rings as Marnie is deducted a point for the referee seeing as her causing the trip, Marnie upset as she yells at the referee, her coach helping to get her back to her corner, both women staring daggers across the ring at each other when they sit on their stools.

Round 4:
Dancing out her corner, Perrie looking relaxed as she uses her jab again to knock back the head of her opponent, a straight smacks into the lips of Simpson to bring a smile to Edwards face as she gets a yelp out of her rival.

Missing with a left cross though leaves Perrie open to a left into her liver, she gasps out as Marnie then smacks her with an uppercut that sends Perrie onto her heels, Marnie driving forwards now with several punches landing cleanly across the taller woman's cheeks to mark them up.

Backed into a corner, Perrie clinches up after taking three punches straight into her abs that looked to have winded her even worse, Marnie presses her against the turnbuckles hiss "are ya hurting pet?" Getting her right free to bang in two short sharp hooks to the body of Perrie.

Referee breaks them up, warning Marnie again that if they don't keep it clean they could be disqualified, seeming to piss off Marnie even more as she stomps her right foot, she takes it out on Perrie as they resume fighting, landing another right across her jaw as they trade.

Perrie is clearly hurting as she is being worked around the ring, her punches not keeping back a rampaging Marnie, who keeps smacking her to the body then lands an uppercut to rock back Edwards to the ropes.

The bell rings to end the round with Perrie shaking her head, Kelly upset with her as they talk, across the ring Marnie is stewing as she sits on her stool, her coach reminding her to keep focused.

Round 5:
The fighters step back out with Perrie trying to keep back Marnie, it doesn't take long though before the brunette gets in closer, hammering a right square into the liver of Perrie, WHO GASPS BEFORE ANOTHER RIGHT TO THE LIVER SENDS PERRIE DOWN TO ALL FOURS!

Marnie looks ready to kick Perrie, referee sensing it stands in front of her to order her to the neutral corner, which she goes to with an angry look, 1...2...3... Perrie spits out her gumshield as she sucks in air, 4...5...6.. Perrie looks up red faced, tears in her eyes as she looks in agony, 7...8...9...10 Perrie is counted out!

Winner Marnie Simpson KO Round 5

After:
"F***ing come on!" Yells Marnie as she stares daggers at Perrie, her arms raised in victory as her fans in the crowd whoop for her, a good win for Marnie as she was tested early on by Perrie.

Who is staring at the sand, Kelly comes over to check on Perrie, helping her up to her feet as she places an ice pack onto her body to try to numb the pain, causing Perrie to wince as she is still sore from those liver shots.

Over comes Marnie to gloat as she yells "you f***ing weak bytch! I was expecting more off ya the way ya were talking! Don't you f***ing dare call me a fake Geordie again love!" Slapping Perrie with her right glove as Kelly shoves Marnie in response.

All hell is about to break loose as Marnie now wants a piece of Kelly, who looks ready to go as she lifts her fists, Simpson's coach rushes in to drag their fighter back to their corner, Marnie yelling "I'd f*** you up bytch!" At Kelly.

After waving off Marnie, Kelly helps Perrie out the ring, she looks over at Frankie, who seems to be licking his lips, making Perrie put her head down as she heads off the beach back to the hotel, Kelly trying to console her as they go.

Back in the ring, Marnie gets her hand raised by the referee, before she points a finger into their chest to tell them "you cheating f***! You better not referee any of my fights again or I'll slap you silly!" The referee looking shocked at the threat.

Especially as Marnie's demeanor changes so quickly to a big smile as she waves to the crowd, going on a lap of honour inside the ring as her fans are chanting her name, Marnie yelling "I'm the Queen Geordie!"

Soon after she is done the lap she leaves the ring, though it'll be interesting as she heads off the beach, what repercussions she might suffer from the Little Mix crew, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Ann Pinnock can't be exactly pleased with how their best friend was treated.
