Intro:
The Copper Box in London plays host tonight to two X-Factor alumni as Alexandra Burke and Cher Lloyd step in the ring to trade fists instead of notes.

Alexandra is 30 years old; she stands 5'4 and holds a record of 3 wins, all by knockout and 15 defeats.

Cher is 25 years old; she stands 5'2 and holds a record of 6 wins, all by knockout and 4 defeats.

Both women were interviewed in their lockers rooms tonight by Anna Woolhouse, with Alexandra getting her hands taped up by her coach Katie Price.

When asked about Cher; she replies "Cher is a big talker, she has been shown to be beatable and while I haven't had the best time in the ring, Cher doesn't frighten me one bit"

She continues "I hope you'll be coming back to speak to me afterwards because I am far from done in that ring, I have plenty of bytches I aim to slay"

Cher looking confident in her locker room; shadow boxing as her coach is telling her what they expect from her tonight.

Anna comes into the room and Cher quickly tells her "tonight is just the beginning of my comeback to the top, I am thinking of making my sweet music again and in that ring, well I still want a crack at my old pal Cheryl Cole for the BBU flyweight title"

Cher smirks as her coach goes over to Anna and tells the interviewer to leave the room so Cher can keep focused on the task at hand.

Fighting time; Alexandra arrives to a loud cheer from her hometown fans, she gives them a quick wave but looks all business as she marches to the ring with Katie in tow.

She is wearing a black sports bra with red trim, black trunks with red strips down the sides, red gloves and black shoes, while her hair is in a ponytail.

Stepping into the ring; Alexandra gets into her corner and bounces on her toes as she pumps her right fist in the air.

Cher is now coming out with her coach by her side, she looks all smiles as the crowd show their lack of love for her with their booing, Cher totally ignores it as she puts her right hand to her ear.

She is wearing a green sports bra, green trunks with "Gyspy warrior" in gold letters on the waistband, gold coloured gloves and green shoes, her hair is double braided.

Getting into the ring; Cher bows to the crowd and laughs as the boos get louder, she can be heard telling her coach "imagine this lot when I beat that bytch up"

After the warm ups are done; both women come to the ring center and go nose to nose, all the games are over as they stare right into the others eyes with intense looks.

The referee nudges them back and asks for a glove touch, getting a far from loving one from them as they look more interested in getting to their corners.

Which once they do; the referee nods over to the timekeeper to ring the bell to start 10 rounds of flyweight action.

Round 1:
Both fighters come out looking to test the other out, jabs are flying out onto the others face as their guards look lax in the early going.
Alexandra shows that her focus is on defence, she backs up as Cher looks to go inside, firing a double jab to the top of the head of her opponent.
It's Burke controlling the action to a degree as she keeps on the move and forces Cher to box on the outside, with the cleaner punches landing between the mitts of Lloyd to her face.
Cher's coach needing to calm her down with their instructions, she looks to keen to simply rush forwards, which is what is allowing Alexandra to do the damage.
With Alexandra coming up the middle with a left/right combo, then stepping out the way of a right hook from the youngest.
Late in the round; Cher finally times her attack, feinting with her body movement, then slipping under a straight and coming up with an overhand right to smack Alexandra across the cheek.
Alexandra driven back late on behind her guard as Cher puts her head down and works, the body of the older fighter being tested out.
Till the bell rings to end the round, Alexandra looking happy with her early work, though Katie tells her not to let Cher get any momentum.

Round 2:
The game plan of Alexandra continues as she dances around Cher; who has tighten her guard so now neither are landing many clean punches.
Till Cher feints with her left; then comes inside with a straight and a left smacks across the cheek of Alexandra.
Who is forced to trade with Cher as the younger fighter keeps in close range, the crowd roaring Alexandra on as she takes clean shots under her ribs.
Alexandra needing to use her strength to push Cher back, opening up space to catch Cher with a left cross and a straight to knock her back.
But as it looks like Alexandra has control back, Cher slips under a right and comes inside with an overhand left this time, with an uppercut coming in to knock Burke to her heels.
Cher has stepped up a gear it seems as she forces Alexandra to cover up, that guard though is opened up after a left buries itself into the gut of Alexandra, followed by a right uppercut.
Alexandra now finding herself being forced onto the ropes, where her worst fears seem to be playing out as she swings and misses, while Cher connects too often for the Fight Club UK coaching teams liking.
The round ends with Cher strutting back to her corner; while Alexandra slaps the ropes with her left as she turns to head to her corner, frustration boiling up over a bad round.

Round 3:
The round starts with both circling and trading straight shots, Alexandra hoping to be more successful at keeping Cher on the outside, drilling her punches straight onto the nose of her opponent.
But Cher surprises Alexandra with a shoulder roll, followed by a two punch combo straight onto her lips to back up Burke.
Cher drives forwards and now the high intensity work is starting to pay off; Alexandra trying to keep out of trouble, finding herself too open though as Lloyd keeps smacking her to the face.
After dipping under a right hook; CHER COMES UP WITH AN UPPERCUT THAT SENDS ALEXANDRA TO HER BACKSIDE, GUMSHIELD KNOCKED OUT HER MOUTH!
As the count begins, 1...2...3 Alexandra looks badly rocked as she searches for her gumshield on her hands and knees, 4...5...6...7 she struggles to put it in, 8...9...10 and ends up dropping it as she is counted out!

Winner Cher Lloyd KO Round 3

After:
Well this was just seen as a tune up; though Cher's coaches don't look overly happy with her leaving her guard loose in the first round.

Cher doesn't look too interested in their opinions right now as she gets her gloves taken off, just staring at the dazed wreck of Alexandra.

Who has the ringside doctor checking on her, Katie looks annoyed with her fighter for losing once again, this a far different time from when Alexandra won X-Factor all those years ago.

In fact after she seems to fully come around, the doctor orders her to be taken to the medical area in backstage so she can be giving more tests after the vicious knockout.

The crowd look depressed as they watch Alexandra leave the ring with help, once again they get to see her knocked out, even as some had hope this would be different.

Cher doesn't care as Anna Woolhouse comes into the ring to speak with her on her victory, Cher grabs the microphone from her hand and some worry about what she has to say.

"Listen closely BBU bytches! I have had my rocky patch and am now stronger then ever, so watch your backs girls as I am coming for you all, especially you Cheryl Cole! I'll always be your upgrade!" Yells Cher over a chorus of boos.

She then starts singing some of her most famous song Swagger Jagger, telling the crowd "keep wait for new hits as great as my debut album!" Before she drops the mic and leaves the ring to hackling about her music from the crowd.

Cher doesn't seem to have a care right now, she is dangerous when she has confidence as she has proven before, could this be the true dawn after the false early unbeaten run?
