(10-16, 10 KO vs 5-1, 5 KO)
Results: BBU; Story: Vassago

BEFORE: It doesn't take much to trigger a social media dispute among BBU fighters and the action usually moves down to the ring sooner rather than later in quick order. Emma Rigby originally wanted to blast out Alesha Dixon only to find glamour model India Reynolds barge in to claim superior presence instead. Even BBU TV's Denise van Outen lost track who said what and why but the bottom line is, both Emma and India are ready to battle it out in the Cardiff Arena with Alesha Dixon apparently booked to fight some Polish glamour models in the near future.

Emma Rigby wears a light blue bikini set & white gloves. Long blonde hair tied in a braid. India Reynolds wears a black bikini set & silver gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a custom ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the bantamweight division.

Round 1:
Neither girl holds back in the early stages so the crowd is handed a vintage slugging contest where Emma finds her range first and drills the brunette's face without serious reply until India simply has to back off or risk heavy damage inside the opening minute. Many pundits believe she's a true title contender but Rigby has long voiced her championship ambitions too and she's not scared to blast the glamour model straight up the middle. She gives India no respect whatsoever and grinds her onto the ropes during the second minute however PageThrees manager Samantha Fox keeps her nerves in tact for the time being. India tries to swing back over the top to neutralize the blonde's furious rush but she only eats more quick jabs as Emma simply doesn't yield an inch of performance and clobbers the brunette into a tight earmuff to take the opening round wide.

Round 2:
More hard slugging from the Merseyside actress but she finds a stubborn guard halting her progress so she's unable to dominate Reynolds during another back & forth tangle in the center of the ring. The glamour model blocks off the initial charge and loops her response into the blonde's face before switching downstairs to punish the exposed abs. Emma bends to the side but refuses to back off from the phone booth stance and she manages to land some uppercuts on the brunette's rack come the second minute. India loses her patience and shoves the blonde onto the ropes but just misses on the putaway as Rigby displays impressive footwork to escape the trap. Both women circle around the ring thereafter and only land single punches in largely drawn round according to most fans.

Round 3:
India lands some early hooks into the blonde's face and dominates the early action until Emma breaks through into her rack. She also scores several quick uppercuts and forces the glamour model to increase the work rate. Another back & forth tangle in the center of the ring follows to raise the noise inside the arena but neither woman is able to gain a clear advantage. Finally a clash of heads slows the action down but Emma recovers first to drill the brunette's midsection and seek her chances down there. She bumps Reynolds in jug-to-jug contact and swings a left hook on the mouth to bellow the Reading model on top of the ropes. India slumps behind an earmuff cover and allows Rigby to bash her from close range to nick the round on points.

Round 4:
Emma gets on with an early jabbing pounce but fails to overwhelm the busty model and has to soak up an overhand response which goes south when a small gash appears under the blonde's left eye. India seeks more damage and rips a vicious combo to catch Emma head-on and the Mersey woman stumbles to the side with a whimper. Ugh! She tries to swing back at the charging rival but India gets there first and smacks more leather on target to spill blood from Rigby's nose. Uh-oh! Now it gets serious as India batters the wounded actress onto the ropes and glues her mitts in the head-hunting pounce. She knocks Emma's head back several times and causes more damage in the process but the embattled actress avoids a complete disaster and drops some hard licks on the brunette's rack. It's not enough to win the round but she barges India in the shoulder after the bell and indicates she's still in this fight despite the damage to her nose.

Round 5:
India has other ideas and tries to punch Emma's fighting spirit in ultra aggressive fashion. She squares up to the blonde foe and rips a vicious series into her wounded nose while ducking underneath a predictable response. Both women settle for the slugging dispute which has to end in tears for one of them... India spills more blood from Emma's nose and the blonde's knees buckle in due course. She tries to spin away into safety but India loops another right hand on target to make sure she doesn't. Emma loses her balance and drops her gloves just as the glamour model NAILS her with a right cross on the chin... DOWN GOES RIGBY!!! The Mersey contender crashes down on her backside and blinks frantically for several seconds. She realizes the count is almost through and rises to her feet at the last moment but India rolls out more jabbing haze and punches her back to the ropes where she knocks more leather to smear extra blood over the blonde's pretty face. And Emma simply checks out unable to embrace more damage, she breaks down into spasms and forces the REF TO STEP IN and stop the beating. TKO5 India Reynolds!!!

AFTER: Most of these glamour models were dismissed as tomato cans over the years but India has clearly found something that makes her a genuine contender going forward. And it's not exactly linked to Samantha Fox's coaching methods! She twerks her rack in the center of the ring and blows several kisses to the Cardiff audience while Emma remains in complete shock over in the FCUK corner. Guess she'll have to settle for the Alesha Dixon consolation prize after all?

More rumours flock the social media that India could face the former champion Doda next or maybe the new Polish glamour model prospect Paula Tumala but the Beever's Babes still hold match-making priority and PageThrees are happy to wait for Alesha Dixon's delusional ideas to blow straight into her face first!

Official Result: India Reynolds def. Emma Rigby TKO5.
