Intro:
Now it's time for our first title fight of the night, Mollie King looks to finally win a title after over a decade in celebrity boxing, she takes on the BBU flyweight champion Holly Hagan, who won the title two months ago against Ivana Baquero, will it be the southern girl coming home with the gold or is the title staying in the north?

Before the bout the fighters came face to face at the press event, Mollie stepping onto the stage at the BBU Arena wearing a red dress, the champion heading on the opposite side wearing a black dress that shows plenty of cleavage, the title on her right shoulder as both women pose hands on hips, getting a first close up look of each other.

As the face off turns to them raising fists towards each other for photos, there's a few unflattering words exchanged before Mollie gives her rival a two handed shove to her chest, Holly nearly stumbling to her backside as her left heel falls off, kicking the other off she comes roaring back to shove her challenger, security rushes in as Mollie regains her own balance, heels are off as both women look ready to have the title fight now with no rules involved, neither fighters manager looks too worried by the fiery exchange, in fact Frankie Cocozza is grinning at the sight.

Things cool off but heels don't return on as both look ready to pounce if things heat up again, Mollie is the first to speak to the press at the podium, pushing a few hairs that come loose from the fracas back behind her ears, telling the journalists assembled for this press conference "as you see I don't like Holly one f**king bit" with Holly making sure to yell that the feeling is mutual.

"Christ how the hell did a tramp like you become a champion before I did, you should be working corners not holding a world title you mouthy cow!" Mollie fires at the champion, who doesn't exactly take kindly to that.

The title is dropped to the floor as Holly tries to get back at Mollie, again they are held apart to boos from some in the crowd, Holly screaming "wait till we get in the ring you snobby c**t!" Mollie waving her to bring it on as they are herded to opposite sides of the stage, the title picked up by a BBU committee member, who certainly doesn't look happy to see it thrown down, handing it back to Hagan as things cool off enough for them to leave the stage.

Fight night, first out through the curtain comes Mollie with her stablemate and former "Saturdays" band mate Una Healy working her corner, Mollie heads down the aisle wearing a yellow sports bra with white trim, matching trunks and shoes, white gloves, her hair is tied into a ponytail as she smiles and waves to her adorning fans in the crowd, stepping through the ropes into the ring, Mollie gets serious after hugging Una, nodding as Una tells her "this is your moment! Your time!" To fire her up.

Now here comes the champion Holly with her coach Kelly Rowland, she taps her black gloves together as she has the title wrapped around her toned waisted, marching down the aisle with a purposely look, the rest of her attire consists of a black sports bra with white trim, matching trunks and boots, hair is tied into a ponytail too, she climbs into the ring with eyes locked onto Mollie as she taps the title with both her gloves, telling her where the title belongs as the fighters lock eyes across the ring.

The referee is handed the title and waves both women to the center, final instructions are being read out as both women shake their arms to keep them loose, piercing stares being exchanged by them, told to touch gloves by the referee, both show the other no respect as they simply turn on their heels, just wanting to get this fight started, once they are in their corners with their fists raised, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of BBU flyweight title fight.

Round 1:
"Ding" kicking off the action trading stiff jabs to start, Holly is looking to close the distance, Mollie meanwhile shows off her boxing skills to dodge early on and land some nice counters, you have to wonder if the Double A stable planned to get under Holly's skin to make her make mistakes, Mollie isn't engaging in wild swinging like Holly is, instead being measured with her shots.

Holly does find her way in closer after a terrible opening minute, slipping a jab to bang in a short left to the cheek of Mollie, as Holly works the body of the blonde, she is given a shove back as Mollie moves back to the outside, landing a stiff one-two combo into the face of the champion.

While Holly is getting some more success, Mollie has boxed beautifully with her footwork and picking her punches better, Holly does though catch Mollie with a jab into her chest, pounding in a straight to the lips of King, leading to a fiery exchange as the singer is forced to the ropes, first sustained push by Hagan, the bell soon rings with Holly cursing herself as she returns to her stool, Mollie meanwhile giving that trademark smile to Una.

Round 2:
Back out the fighters come stabbing more straight shots through the others guard, cheeks taking the brunt of the assault by both women, Mollie again takes the lead on the action with a feint this time, creating an opening to land a one-two combo into the nose of the champ, knocking her back a step towards the ropes.

Mollie looks the more focused fighter as she is landing the crisper punches, judging the range better between them as she keeps Holly on the outside, till about half way through the round, the champ ducks under a straight to rush to the inside to work the body of King with two short rights, then a left hook to the body.

Things get a little scruffy as they fight on the inside, Holly nearly butting Mollie to her face as she pounds her abs, a shove from Mollie creates space, a right cross and double jab forces Holly to retreat back, Mollie looks to have gotten past the storm this round as she keeps Hagan at range for the remainder of the round, at the bell Mollie jogs back to her corner still looking pleased with herself, Holly meanwhile is told off by Kelly, keep her head screwed on or Mollie will take it off for her is the message.

Round 3:
Taking a breath before she comes back out, Holly is starting to match Mollie better on the outside, moving her upper body more as she uses her footwork to better effect, Mollie watching Holly like a hawk as they fight around the ring, with Holly starting to use a few feints by the end of the first minute.

A left cross catches Mollie across her cheek, as she tries to fire back Holly uses her right to give her a subtle shove to her chest, that disrupts her rhythm enough for Holly to whack in a left/right hook combo across the cheeks of the challenger, Mollie finding herself being knocked onto the ropes by the aggressive champion.

This is not what King wanted, she tries to push off Hagan, but the North East lass isn't giving her much room to breath, switching up her targets beautifully as Mollie grits her mouthpiece, firing in short cross punches as she tries to match the intensity of Holly in this close range exchanges, the round comes to an end with Holly asking "enjoy that bytch?" Mollie scowling at her, the smile gone for now as the referee stays close in case of fireworks, instead they keep their cool to return to their corners.

Round 4:
"Come on!" Mollie tells herself, coming back out their corners with a little extra edge to their looks, both fighters are throwing more combos in their exchanges, warmed up and ready to try to force the issue more, Holly feints with her left, stepping back when Mollie tries to catch her with a straight/left cross combo, instead it's the champion landing an overhand left to the side of Mollies head before landing an uppercut to knock her to her heels.

Holly has certainly found her feet in this fight, holding the center of the ring, forcing Mollie to box around near ropes, both women slamming in stiff shots through the others guard, Holly is the one landing the harder shots as she can plant feet more, landing a right cross that opens a small gash under the left eye of Mollie, making Una look worried for the first time about her friend.

Mollie though shows her toughness, sticking in with throwing her jab, leaning back out the way of a right hook late in the round, she swings a counter left across the cheek of Holly, followed by a straight to snap her head back, Mollie stepping in to give Holly a taste of her medicine with several stiff body shots till the bell rings to end the round, Mollie getting her cut patched up as she winces, she assures Una she has this, while the Frankie Foxes corner looks much more relaxed after the slow start to the fight for Hagan.

Round 5:
Holly looking to keep the heat on Mollie, both landing stiff cross punches to each others cheeks, Mollie then steps back as Holly swings in a right hook that finds air, Mollie landing a short uppercut to knock back the head of the champ, A LEFT HOOK THEN LANDS ON THE CHEEK OF HOLLY TO SEND HER DOWN TO HER LEFT KNEE!

Mollie nods to Una as she jogs over to the neutral corner, 1...2...3.. Holly shakes her head, 4....5....6.. Tapping her gloves as she looks at the referee, looking like she is holding back swearing, 7...8... Getting to her feet, Holly raises her gloves, nodding to the referee that she is OK, just looks like a flash knockdown.

They resume with Mollie pressuring Holly back, with several punches landing through to the champs face, Holly dips under a jab to hammer in two right hooks to the ribs, followed by an overhand left to the jaw of King, showing she isn't going to go away too easily, Mollie shoves her back when she is near the ropes, the round ends with Mollie nodding to Una as if to say she has this fight, Holly meanwhile says "I f**ked up but I will pay her back" as Kelly wipes her down.

Round 6:
Mollie is looking to keep the pressure on Holly, they exchange around the ring as the crowd seems split, roaring when their favourite lands flush, Mollie missing with a left cross, Holly whacks in two uppercuts to the body, getting shoved back by Mollie who retreats back.

They trade around the ring as Holly is starting to make up ground on Mollie, after the knockdown it seems to have just fired up Hagan, who dips under a straight to whack in a left hook to the body, an uppercut then lands as Mollie has sweat fly off her, Holly backing her up onto the ropes as she starts whacking away to the body.

Clinching up with Holly, there's more blood coming from the cut on Mollies cheek as Holly grinds her head into it, Una yelling at the referee about the heads, they are broken up with Mollie touching the cut and wincing, Holly doesn't give her much room to breath, landing a right cross on the cut, a left hook lands on the chin of King to send sweat and blood flying, back to the ropes again goes Mollie as Holly is on attack, the bell soon rings with Holly banging her gloves together as if a warning to Mollie, the challenger staring daggers at her, Una and the Double A crew have to patch up Mollie.

Round 7:
Now it's Mollies turn to have to try to hold off Holly, both drilling stiff single punches as Mollie boxes around the outside part of the ring, Holly sending a few harpoon like punches towards the body of her opponent, with Mollie stabbing in jabs to the top of Holly's head.

Deflecting a jab aside, Holly steps in with a left cross on the chin of Mollie, landing a straight into the cut on her face, Mollie is being beaten back by Holly, Mollie goes to clinch but an uppercut rocks her head back, legs buckled! ANOTHER UPPERCUT SENDS MOLLIE ONTO HER BACK!

Holly marches to the neutral corner with her arms in the air as her supporters cheer, 1...2...3... Mollie is being told by Una to get up, her friend banging on the apron, 4...5... Mollie is groaning as she lays back holding her head with her right glove, 6...7...8.. Not moving much as Una keeps yelling at her, 9....10 it's over!

Winner and still BBU flyweight champion Holly Hagan KO Round 7

After:
That's defence number one achieved for Holly, she raises her gloves in the air as she struts around the ring, Una shakes her head as she sees Holly pass her by, the champion dusting her feet behind her as she has her back to Mollie, as if telling the crowd she is done with the trash, Kelly smirking as she hugs her fighter.

Una gets into the ring with the Double A cut man, they help Mollie to slowly sit up, her left eye is swollen and her cut needs patching up, Mollie looks down at the canvas with tears running down her cheeks, Una telling her friend "it just wasn't your night but you will win that championship, lord knows you deserve it more then certain people" staring angrily at Holly, who sees the stare and gives Una a cheeky wave, certainly not much love lost between them after this bout.

Helping Mollie to her feet, Una helps get her friend out the ring and walking up the aisle, the crowd applauding her, with some telling her they love her, it looks to be falling on deaf ears as Mollie tells Una "I need a stiff drink" scoring the knockdown and being so close to the title probably adds to the hurt tonight.

Inside the ring Holly gets her right hand raised by the referee, the title placed around her waist as she raises her arms in the air, pouting for the cameras, she taps the title as if to tell the division it is where it belongs, she was tested tonight but fact she come through this tough fight on top might be a perfect warning to other challenges how good they need to be to beat her.

She steps out the ring with Kelly, both smiling as they head to the back, Kelly making sure to tell her she better now expect training to be any easier come Monday, making Holly chuckle as she nods, posing at the top of the aisle for her fans with her arms flexed, making a point also to her future challengers of what's to come.
