Finally we come to the International Classic PPV's Main Event, a fight between two former BBU bantamweight champions, with Una keen to continue her winning ways against the gorgeous French champion, who is looking for management for a last hurrah in BBU, and she’s attracted the attention of at least three stables according to Georgie Thompson in the booth.

 
Clara is already in the ring, the French singer in a black leather corset, with matching panties, black boots, and black gloves.  Una wears a green bra and panties, with matching gloves and orange boots, for a fight which is her first since the showdown with Dorota Rabczewska a fortnight ago.

 
Round 1

 
These girls are both experienced boxers, and neither of them is looking to make any major move too early in the fight, each standing back, happy to jab, keep the legs moving, Una hoping to use her height advantage, but it doesn’t seem to be counting for much, because Clara’s landing some good jabs on her, and she pushes her backwards towards the ropes.  Una’s been enjoying some good results lately, and her confidence is high, the Irish girl sliding away from Clara’s intended trap, and she jabs the French girl now, snapping her head backwards, Clare looking a little ringrusty, as one might expect of a girl who has had a year or more away from the ring, Una starting to boss her now, following her jabs with accurate hooks and crosses where she can, not stunning punches, but enough to show Clara who’s in charge.

 
Round 2

 
Una’s getting into a nice routine, jab, jab, hook, retreat, jab, jab, cross, retreat, and these punches are landing smartly around Clara’s eyes and cheeks, the French girl already beginning to show signs of bruising – but she must show Clara respect!  Clare reminds her of her ability now, thudding a left and a right into the Irish girl’s body, and that seems to have quietned her down, Una now backing away to the ropes as Clara bops her ribs with a solid left, and another, Una dropping her guard a little, but Clara’s not being tempted into trading headshots, just concentrates on Una’s slim body, and she’s certainly turned the girl’s midriff pink in this round.

 
Round 3

 
This is good from Clara, the older girl working Una around the ring, poking her backwards again, and she bends her with a solid punch to the belly, Una holding now, needing to get her breath, staying in close as the referee pulls her and Clara apart, and she’s recovered well enough to smack a couple of jabs and a hook into Clara’s face, the French girl being forced backwards, but she’s tough as well as skillful, and she slots a good left hook on Una’s jaw to halt her progress, before returning to her work on the Irish beauty’s body, doing her damndest to tire the redhead out.

 
Round 4

 
It’s Clara again who starts to land the punches, the French girl already ahead on points, and she’s starting to unravel Una’s defence, swiping her face with a neat hook to follow a hefty shot to her midsection, although Una’s taken that punch well, and she hits back instead of trying to clinch, which catches Clara unawares, the Irish girl stabbing a pair of punches into Clara’s face, and she lands a good left hook on the blonde’s jaw to send her staggering backwards, follows that with another one, and now Clara’s looking troubled, teetering backwards some more, and happy to clinch and hold on when Una closes in, not even trying to hit her, just running down the clock, Una looking pleased top be back in this fight.

 
Round 5

 
Clara looks tired, her lack of conditioning maybe beginning to tell, and she’s a sitting duck for Una now as the Irish girl nips to and fro, jabbing Clara’s face with either hand, the French girl clinching as soon as she gets a chance, and looking reluctant to let that clinch go.  Una peppers her face again, and although Clara’s trying to fight back, this is becoming difficult for her, as she’s up against an really in-form opponent, who is intent on making a statement in this ring tonight,Una snapping Clara’s head back again with a solid jab, but the French girl hooks her to the ribs, still fighting, showing real heart as she refuses to let Una roll her over.

 
Round 6

 
Una’s cornermen want more action from their girl, and she’s swiping Clara again with a couple of hooks, the blonde bruising around her cheeks and she’s been hurt this time, tottering backwards towards the ropes, Una not quitre quick enough to take advantage, and she should have been looking to really press on there, but instead she’s been tagged herself, Clara bumping a right cross on her mouth, Una not happy, takes a left hook to her body, but she hits Clara with a roundhouse right, landing it smack on her ear, and that’s but the French girl on the canvas, the girl dazed as she takes a count of 8, her legs struggling to keep her upright as Una swats her with a sweet one-two, Clara’s face now looking really sore, her cheeks grazed.

 
Round 7

 
Clara looks tired now, and Una’s giving her some trouble just a yard from her stool, her accurate jabs just spearing into Clara’s face, and she aims a right hook in at her jaw, but the French girl isn’t having that, blocks the punch well, and slams one of her own into Una’s ribs, and now she presses the Irish girl backwards, left hooks her to the body three times to turn her around, and gives her some rough treatment to her ribs, Una trying to clinch without success, and she gasps as the French girl hurts her with a straight shot to the belly, the Irish beauty on the ropes now, eats a right hook – but fights back!  Una clips Clara with a left and a right to get out of trouble, and flows that with a peach of an uppercut which splits Clara’s lip and staggers her, the round ending with both girls in discomfort.

 
Round 8

 
Una looks the fresher of two tired singers now, and she’s pushing Clara backwards, the French girl’s strength deserting her, it seems – but she’s standing and swapping punches, catches Una with a left hook, but gets wiped with a right from Una, staggers backwards, and she looks unsteady, Una sensing she has the French girl wounded, swats her face with two quich punches, and floors her.  Clara’s back on her feet at 7, but her legs are gone, and the referee jumps in and stops her from taking any more punishment.

 
Result:  Una Healy stopped Clara Morgane in round 8.

 
That was a good win for Una, and she certainly seems primed for another fight with Doda, screaming out at the crowd, ‘Where’s that blonde bimbo? I want her AGAIN!’

Georgie Thompson indicates that since Jessica Schwarz may well retire after dropping the bantamweight belts the BBU would be deprived of it's marquee rivalry between the German actress and Alesha Dixon. And who's gonna replace them as the talk of the town? Doda vs Una seems a reasonable choice especially if both girls will maintain their bitter feud in public.

Another rumour has it that Una will challenge for the divisional straps against Schwarz really soon; there was a time when The Saturdays crew was divided whether the Irish redhead or Rochelle Humes is the true marketing leader of the bunch but right now it seems that Healy's the money girl as she continues her return to the absolute top of the bantamweight division.
 
Meanwhile in the opposite corner, there’s a scuffle, with both Gail Kim and Taryn Terrell vying to sign Clara Morgane – and they will fight for her signature.
