BEFORE: Foxfire Atlantic's Leilani Dowding was thought to be retired from BBU competition after Sam Cooke wrecked her jugs back in 2013 but the arrival of old ITV's Celebrity Wrestling enemy Kate Lawler has spurred the Bournemouth glamour model into one last shot at the big prize. Dowding is one of the founding members of BBU and has racked up 20 fights under her belt but her current form after spending the last couple of years on the sidelines is a great unknown to everyone gathered in Sheffield tonight.

Meanwhile Sam Faiers of "The Only Way Is Essex" fame has a reason to beat Kate Lawler up on her own since her older sister Billie got battered into submission last month and Charlie Webster thinks these two girls should rather join forces in taking Lawler down but for personal pride to come to the fore and remove the common sense factor in a quick sweep. Sam remains winless in BBU and just couldn't ignore Dowding's comeback and well, if Imogen Thomas wrecks Lawler in the planned grudge fight next month, we might not see tonight's winner stalking the blonde radio personality and former Big Brother contestant for a little while yet after all.

Leilani Dowding wears a black bikini set with blue trim and blue gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a custom ponytail. Sam Faiers wears a red & yellow floral schemed bikini and white gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a tight bun at the back of her head. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Sam tries to jump start the veteran by jabbing at her from point-blank range and Leilani allows her to find some rhythm before striking back over the top. Both women throw plenty of beef at each other but the precision just isn't there and most hits bounce off the guard before Faiers actually loops a crisp hook into the brunette's eye and wobbles her on her heels. A quick follow up series splits the arms and enables the blonde to land more punches on the rack which sends Dowding butt-in-ropes and clinching her foe in a rather desperate fashion. Faiers scowls as she tries to put more pressure on the brunette and reverts into pounding her guts in the latter stages of the round which keeps Leilani trapped and struggling to halt the Essex assault.

Round 2:
Faiers is up quickly for the second and buries the brunette under a heavy aerial attack which splits the mitts a little too easily and sends Dowding into defensive circles when the blonde tags her with a couple of piercing hooks on both brow ridges. Sam needs a morale-boosting performance to indicate she's not as vulnerable as her older sister as the word has hit the town last year already but she fails to really slam a power punch into Leilani's face and allows the older woman to clinch her in the second minute which halts her offense. Dowding shows some strenght and wrestles the blonde back to the ropes but struggles to make her subsequent midsection assault count and Sam breaks free again before catching the brunette with a quick uppercut on the jaw that sends Leilani spinning back to the turnbuckle. The clock expires before the TOWIE girl can make further progress though.

Round 3:
Leilani finally leans on the younger opponent and delivers a cross hooking route that splits Sam's gloves before a belting hook on the liver area catches the blonde cold. Dowding moves into a close range onslaught and staggers the Essex girl in the center of the ring with a repeated jabbing rush aimed at the midsection and Sam only wobbles back to her heels where she struggles to mount a response and eats a flying series of hooks down the stretch. Dowding barks in her efforts to finally assume control in this bout and reels Faiers back to the ropes in the final minute where she pins her behind a high earmuff and cleans out the breadbasket to complete a crowd-pleasing comeback.

Round 4:
Sam looks upset she let the brunette channel some fine attack in the previous round but a quick tangle in the middle of the ring has Leilani bursting into the blonde's lips and wobbling her to the side within seconds of the bell. A quick cross hook from the left nails Faiers on the nose and drops her guard which enables the older woman to crash in more strikes from point-blank range; Sam begins to yelp in pain but fails to escape the brunette's head and backpedals to the ropes with Leilani catching her on the fly with another aerial flurry. Faiers' head swivels back & forth under the heavy jabbing barrage and the Essex lass sinks on her knees deep into the final minute with Dowding hammering away upstairs and leaving a couple of nasty cuts around the left eye in the proccess. She gets pulled back by the ref at the bell and screams out in delight while noticing that Sam chokes on some tears already and stares down at the canvas in submissive fashion.

Round 5:
Dowding flies in with a deep cross and shatters the blonde's high guard on the spot before blasting a left hook on the ear that unplugs Faiers' defence... the TOWIE girl wobbles forward with her eyes wide open but more importantly the arms drop by her rack and Leilani finds the room to flick another vicious left hook on the nose THAT SENDS SAM CRASHING DOWN ON HER SIDE moments later! The Bramall Lane explodes in joy as the blonde aches out her pain and needs a long time to recover at nine... that was a good hit from Dowding and Faiers was never the most resistant character in the division in first place... even when she scampers back to her feet, she looks shaken and very much stirred and fails to react for another head hunting drill that has Dowding bursting her lips into a swollen mess and rocking her back & forth until she literally stumbles against the turnbuckle... the blonde's arms drop by her waist and Leilani homes in with a left/right combo on the nose... another quiet scowl from Faiers marks her looming demise and Dowding sends her packing with a right hook on the brow ridge... SAM SLIDES DOWN ON HER BACKSIDE in the corner and she's not getting up anytime soon! KO5 Leilani Dowding!!!

AFTER: That was exactly what the doctor ordered for Leilani's comeback mission. She wrecked an otherwise hapless opponent but given her lenghty spell on the sidelines, anything will be considered a success for the 36 year old glamour model. And let's be honest, since Leilani's intended target Kate Lawler destroyed the 'other' Faiers sibling, there's no room to complain about the strenght of the opposition!

Leilani simply can't wait to see what the former Big Brother winner does against Imogen Thomas first but she tells Charlie Webster that she hopes to see a good fight between these two so Kate wouldn't have to seek an excuse to avoid fighting her later this summer! There's still plenty of bad temper between the two former Celebrity Wrestling contestants and Leilani wants every single BBU fan to know that! Challenging Imogen Thomas into a grudge fight doesn't seem like the only mission impossible for Kate Lawler anymore!

Final result: Leilani Dowding def. Sam Faiers KO5.
