She is a former BBU flyweight champion, a former FCBA JMD champion and holds the longest undefeated streak in either celebrity boxing organization.
Both fighters were interviewed in their gyms, with Heidi pointing out "how fitting is it that I get to ruin Jenna's tournament hopes right away in the place of her biggest defeat" "I mean my stablemate Cheryl (Cole) did dethrone the bytch and Jenna went hiding in the BBU because she knew the sharks were coming to feast on what's left of her, let's say I'm hungry" Heidi grinning wickedly. She finishes with a warning "to the other fighters in this tournament, I am going to own each and every one of your souls once I beat you all to a pulp in my ring" Jenna meanwhile looks optimistic, admitting "yes it isn't going to be fun returning to Newcastle knowing that their hero Cheryl took my title off me there" "But I am going to right that wrong soon enough, I know title rematches don't get handed to you, in fact I love that! Hence why I entered this tournament, I was dominant over 2 full years, it's time to remind the others of who I really am" Jenna standing up as she finishes with a big smile on her face, looking forwards to doing as she says.
Fight night, out comes Heidi first with Mel B behind her, while Heidi is a Liverpool lass and the stable is based in Burton, Heidi gets a welcoming cheer due to her sharing a stable with local hero Cheryl Cole. She is wearing a red sports bra, matching shorts with white strips down the sides, red gloves and red shoes, while her blonde hair is in a simple ponytail. Stepping into the ring, Heidi blows kisses to the crowd as she heads to her corner, before waving Jenna to come on out. Which promptly Jenna does; she has Nicole Ritchie by her side as she has a blue hoodie on, the hood up over her head as she is evidently trying to ignore some of the taunts about her last appearance in front of this crowd. Stepping into the ring soon enough, Jenna gets help taking the hoodie off to reveal her trade mark tardis blue sports bra, trunks, gloves and shoes, while her brunette hair is also in a ponytail. The thing the crowd notice is that Jenna somehow looks in better shape then her last time in the ring, which ended in defeat to Anna Kendrick in the FCBA. Coming to the ring centre, Heidi doesn't look impressed as she eyes up her opponent, Jenna just stares right at her, not interested in looking for any weaknesses. Asked to touch gloves, they slam them together in a not so lovingly way, before heading to their corners ready for 10 rounds of flyweight action.
Round 1: Out come the fighters; Jenna and Heidi circling and testing each other out, throwing jabs at each others faces as they hit gloves. Heidi is the first to push forwards, with Jenna dancing backwards on her toes, blocking most of the punches aimed at her head. A few punches do find their way to Jenna's jugs, making the Victoria star look upset as she continues to box off the back foot. It's Heidi getting frustrated as she can't land anything of note yet, instead finding herself being clipped across her cheeks by Jenna's counter punches. Heidi manages to ram her shoulder into Jenna to push her towards the ropes, missing with a right hook though as Jenna dips down and moves past into space. As Heidi turns around; Jenna snaps a straight onto her nose and now turns it on as she steps inside to bang away with the Sugarbabes babe. The fighters trading as Jenna keeps Heidi pinned to the ropes, Heidi losing this exchange as she can't wind up her punches with the ropes behind her. The bell rings with Heidi looking ready to spit some abuse at Jenna, but holds back as she watches Jenna jog back to her corner without batting an eyelid about her.
Round 2: The fighters again start off boxing on the outside and moving up on their toes, they are landing several straight punches through the others gloves. As Heidi again looks to step inside again, this time Jenna decides to use it against her, parrying a straight punch and lands an uppercut that rocks the blonde back onto her heels. Heidi covers up as Jenna now powers her back by pounding away at the body of the older fighter, forcing gasps out of her lips. The Lioness fighter tries to fight back, swinging at Jenna's head; who dances back out the way and comes back with a straight on to the nose of Range. Who cries out and finds her head being rocked side to side by a now ultra aggressive Coleman, another straight busts open the nose of Range to add to her woes. Heidi driven into a corner; covering up as tightly as she can as Jenna hammers away at her body and gloves, looking to crack her open and finish this early. The blonde has to clinch up with Jenna to stop the assault; with the referee stepping in to break them apart to continue. Heidi manages to keep Jenna away with seconds to go with a jabbing drill, Jenna looks happy to sit back, letting the blonde waste her energy hitting her gloves. The bell rings to end the round; Jenna again business like as she heads to her corner, with Heidi wiping the blood from her nose, look frustrated that she doesn't seem able to do much to Coleman. Sitting on her stool; Heidi gets cleaned up by Mel B, who tells her "get your head in this! This tournament is too important to throw away in the first fight!" While Jenna sits looking relaxed, getting her arms massaged by Nicole, whose telling her to step things up now, which is ominous.
Round 3: Heidi looking to turn things around, throwing multiple punches at a time at the head of Jenna, who covers up as she moves around her opponent. It leads to Jenna parrying a jab and stepping inside to bang two cross punched to the face of Heidi to force her back a step. Now Jenna snaps two uppercuts under the chin of Heidi to rock her backwards onto the ropes, with the Lookout fighter keeping on her. SOON A RIGHT HOOK CRACKS HEIDI ACROSS HER FACE TO KNOCK HER DOWN TO HER SIDE! The referee watches as Jenna strolls to a neutral corner, before he turns back to Heidi and begins the count 1...2...3...4..5 Heidi tries to pull herself up with the ropes, 6....7...8 but falls back to her backside and 9...10 is counted out!
Winner Jenna-Louise Coleman KO Round 3
After: A dominant performance from Jenna as she announced she is back, though Jenna herself doesn't celebrate, instead heading to her corner to fist bump Nicole and get the sweat washed off her face. While Heidi needs help up by Mel to get to her corner, she needs help to be fully woken up as she is still dazed badly by that last barrage that finished her off. Mel B looks upset that Heidi didn't turn up in her eyes, telling her that fact in not exactly the most friendlies way that she could. Heidi just nods; knowing this bad start might already make this run to win this tournament an uphill struggle, she looks forwards to a fight with Diana Korkunova now. While Jenna will be watching closely for the next fight, watching Tiffany Mulheron and Stephanie Davis closely herself. For now though Jenna gets a respectful round of applause from the fans, it may take awhile for this crowd and Jenna to patch things up, maybe why Jenna is keeping herself quiet right now. She hugs and thanks Nicole for her support, as Heidi is helped out the ring behind her to the locker room, the Lookout crew will probably celebrate tonight in the city, while the Lioness crew will be up all night discussing this result.
