Pre-Fight: For tonight’s fight, Emilia’s Empresses newcomer Anya Chalotra challenges the beloved veteran Scarlett Johansson for her third official FCBA match.

Round 1: Scarlett starts off aggressively rocking Anya's face with a hard jabbing series, surprising the fairly new fighter. Anya fails to cover up or escape as Scarlett strikes her ribs with hooks from each side, punching her to ropes. She keeps tapping jabs then sticking left-right hooks to Anya's face and body, moving her from one end of the ropes to the other. All of Anya attempts of retaliation get shutout either by blocking and countering or dodging as Scarlett keeps her punch count at zero, turning the brunette into a punching bag. Anya; eyes shut, gloves at face, mouth open while Scarlett punches around her arms hurting her belly and ribs making Anya moan in pain. She scores a knockdown when a left uppercut pierces trough Anya’s gloves and lands of her chin, shaking her legs. She’s back up at seven but doesn’t look so confident when she’s up as Scarlett spanks her with a couple of more hooks just before the bell for a round one shutout.

Round 2: Scarlett comes out aggressive as she did in the first but so does Anya, being more combative and looking to trade punches with the veteran. Despite her strong will she still gets hurt and outnumbered 3:1 by Scarlett's punches but two full rounds of repeated punching take a toll on a 35-year old Scarlett. As the round goes on Scarlett's arms get more and more tired while Anya keeps her stamina high at the cost of taking a beating. Two-minute mark sees Anya's belly and ribs bruised and her lip bleeding. While in much better shape than Anya, Scarlett can be seen keeping distance trying to catch a breath but Anya won’t let her. She works to the pain, limping to the other side of the ring, sticking a right uppercut to Scarlett’s but and a pair of hooks to her ribs, following up by a left cross on the nose, making it bleed and finally another uppercut to her chin as the bell signals the end. Despite winning the last minute of the fight the round still goes to Scarlett with Anya behind but close on points.

Round 3: Both fighters came out aggressively, meeting mid-ring for a punch exchange with neither girl getting the upper hand at the one-minute mark. With both of them gassed out from punching, they take a step back, observing each other from afar. Scarlett continued with a series of speedy jabs but Anya evaded them all with ease, she followed up with a hook from each hand both of which Anya evaded and responded with a couple of jabs landing on Scarlett’s nose. Scarlett wiped her mouth with her glove to check for blood but there wasn't any so she continued looking for Anya’s belly with hook combinations, but managed hit nothing but air. Once again Scarlett left herself open as Anya responded with a couple of hooks around her elbows and a big right uppercut to her gut, following up with a left uppercut to her chin leaving Scarlett with a few cuts and bruises at the bell.

Round 4: Irritated by Anya’s tranquillity, Scarlett tried her chances again and went all in, assaulting Anya with rapid jabs. After a minute she grew tired of punching and barely having left a mark on her opponent she took a few steps back to take a breather. Having lowered her arms, Scarlett was left open and Anya moved in taking her by surprise. She started with a hook to each side of Scarlett’s ribs, following up with repeated uppercuts to her belly and breasts and a right cross pinning her at ropes as Scarlett moaned in pain. Left-right left-right; Anya continued jabbing for Scarlett’s face, resulting in a bloody nose and a small cut on her temple. None of Scarlett’s attempts of escaping work leaving her pinned at the ropes until the very last second as Anya scores a confident shut-out.

Round 5: Losing two rounds in a row got on Scarlett's news but she decided to tread carefully despite. Anya made the first move this time, sticking a left hook to Scarlett’s already blue ribcage. Scarlett responded with a right hook landing on Anya's nose and followed up with a pair of jabs to her face as Anya responded with a right cross landing on Scarlett's mouth. Both fighters gave up on defence and starter another punch exchange resulting in more cuts and bruises on both of them by the two-minute mark. Both women were exhausted but neither stopped punching; Anya went for Scarlett's face via jabs and an occasional cross in the mix while Scarlett punished her body with hooks and uppercuts. The bell rang to end the fifth round resulting in a draw.

Round 6: Fired up, Scarlett went straight for Anya, sending a right hook toward her face but Anya ducked under and responded with a left uppercut to Scarlett's belly, bending her forwards and following it up with another uppercut landing on her chin sending Scarlett on her back. Scarlett got up at six and headed for Anya again with a left hook, missing again as Anya responded with a right cross to her nose and a pair of hooks to each side of her cheek. With ease she punched Scarlett to ropes and started a series of hook/uppercut combinations to her face, penetrating Scarlett's gloves and leaving her defenceless. She continued, turning Scarlett into a punching bag and sending her down to the canvas again. She beat the count at eight, looking exhausted at the bell as Anya scored another shutout.

Round 7: Scarlett got off her stool slowly, limping slightly and with her arms barely raised. Despite her condition, she still threw a couple of weak punches at Anya who had no issue evading them and responding with a left uppercut to Scarlett’s belly as the continued with the beating. A couple of jabs and a right cross were able to drive poor Scarlett at ropes. Anya had an easy time punishing Scarlett wherever she wanted as her only protests were moaning and an occasional painful grunt. A minute into the beating, a right uppercut landing on Scarlett’s chin sent her down on her knees. She beat the count just barely at nine but left her spirit on the canvas. Both of her arms were behind the ropes; she was too weak to defend herself and too tired to attack. But that didn't stop Anya from giving her hell; she continued, sending hook/uppercut combination to her face while jabbing her breasts and hooking for her belly and ribs. Eventually, Scarlett reached her limit and after two minutes of Anya’s merciless pounding, she slid down the ropes failing to beat the count.

Winner: Anya Chalotra via KO in Round 7

Post-Fight: “Beating veterans such as Scarlett make me confident for my future in the FCBA. Proving that I can compete with veteran fighters allows me to set high goals which I am keen on reaching, and soon” Anya overwhelmingly says to the press.

“She is a force to be reckoned with, and I’m glad to see such talented young fighters join the FCBA. She did beat me, yes, but I’m past my prime days, if I’m honest. She’s talented but overconfident and I hope she realises it sooner rather than later.” Scarlett tells the press.
