Zoe is 38 years old; she stands 5'7 and holds a record of 4 wins, all by knockout and 11 defeats.

The fighters were interviewed by Georgie Thompson in their locker rooms before the fight after weeks of videos showing them training in a promo video.

Mallory was stretching as Georgie come into the room, with Mallory waving her in and nodding at her that she is ready to make her statement.

"Tonight is about taking another step forwards in my career, I need to get used to fighting in the UK as I know that I'll be coming in here for the bigger fights, like I hope unifying the BBU title with my belt" says Mallory as she leaves her arms up to stretch them.

"Zoe isn't a worry for me; this is just more learning for me and making a statement tonight for fans to know that I am going to be the best in celebrity boxing" she continues as she picks up her ACB title to show off with a smile.

In Zoe's locker room she is getting her hands wrapped, she tells Georgie "I can't wait to get in that ring, I am sick of being disrespected, I wasn't in the Lioness stable, I having been since by reporters like you"

Georgie doesn't look happy at that comment, with Zoe adding "tonight I show the world that I am on the way back" bumping fists with her coach as Georgie leaves the locker room.

Fighting time; Mallory comes out with her coach, she is patting the ACB title around her waist as she struts to the ring.

She is wearing a black sports bra with emerald green trim, matching trunks, green gloves and black shoes, her brunette hair is in a ponytail.

Climbing into the ring; her coach takes the belt from her and Mallory bows to the crowd before heading off to their corner to warm up.

Now Zoe is on her way out; she has her coach behind her as she kisses her gloves and promises that she is getting the knockout for her fans.

Climbing into the ring; Zoe pumps her fists in the air as she jogs over to her corner, her coach is giving her a pep talk as she bangs her gloved together.

The fighters come to the center of the ring, eyes locked in a stare down with no love behind it as the referee goes through the final instructions.

Winner Mallory Jansen KO Round 5

After:
Another win to add to Mallory's record, she raises her fists in the air as she smiles while looking down at the wreckage of Zoe.

Who has the ringside doctor with smelling salts looking to bring her back to reality, Zoe comes to with her hand rubbing her cheeks as she sits and stares down at the canvas looking utterly miserable.

The coach of Zoe on the advice of the doctor helps Zoe up and takes her out the ring so more tests can be run in case the knockout had more effects then first thought.

All Zoe seemingly is thinking about though is that she gave Mallory some problems, but just couldn't keep any momentum going for long enough to really look like knocking her out.

Though if she saw Mallory and her coach discussing the fight, she'd see that there was some worries in the Aussie fighters camp, mostly about her slow start once again.

But all that talk stops as Mallory gets a tap on the shoulder by the referee to come to the center of the ring, where she smile returns as her hand is raised.

She blows a few kisses to the fans as thanks to their support, before she poses with her title for cameras, with some wondering whether she'll return to Australia next to defend the ACB title or stay in the UK as she hunts a shot at the BBU title sometime next.
