Intro:
Time for more BBU/FCBA crossover as two former champions clash for the first time. Former FCBA bantamweight champion Kaya Scodelario looks to add another scalp to her CV. Across the ring from her is the former BBU flyweight champion Diana Korkunov, who is wanting to make a statement in the FCBA for all to remember.

Over the past few months Diana has been testing the waters at bantamweight after being very successful at flyweight in her career. She admits to the FCBA Networks Layla Anna-Lee "I feel stronger at this weight but it is getting used to being hit as hard. Flyweight was more about speed, this weight I am feeling the power more of my opponents."

Still she looks her jovial self as she adds "beyond that though I still am sure I can beat Kaya. I respect her a lot to be clear, just she has had so many issues it seems outside the ring with her stable that now seems a great time to share a ring with her."

Kaya meanwhile did her pre-match comments on camera before heading into her locker room. Telling the camera "look I am glad to be back, all my stable seems to care about is Kendall (Jenner) getting her face on posters around the world. I need to remind them that I am one of the damn best in that ring." Pushing the door open behind her and strolling inside.

Fighting time! First out comes Kaya with Hilary Swank back with her. Looks like both have decided to give this one more try. Kaya heading down the aisle with a big smile on her face. Getting into the ring moments later wearing a black sports bra with white stripes down the side, matching trunks and shoes, white gloves with black thumbs as her hair is tied into a ponytail. There's a little nod between fighter and coach but Kaya looks more interested in waiting for her opponent.

Diana begins her walk down the aisle with a beaming smile on her face as she looks excited to be fighting again. Coach Henry Cavill is behind her as Diana jogs down the aisle to the ring. Walking up the ring steps before stepping into the ring, the stunning model is wearing a white sports bra, white trunks with light blue stripes down the sides, matching shoes, light blue gloves and her hair tied into a ponytail too. She taps her cheeks to psyche herself up as Henry tells her to show why she is one of the best around.

Walking to the middle of the ring looking relaxed. Both fighters have had plenty of success in their careers, so neither are overly worried by their opponent tonight. A quick swipe of their gloves with their opponent as both are keen to get started. Once they are back in their corner ready, the bell rings to start 10 rounds of bantamweight action.

Round 1:
A quick fire start as both try to swing in right hooks behind their jabs. Diana lands a flush jab/straight into the face of Kaya, she gets clipped in return with a left cross on the cheek of her opponent. Both trying to grab control of the action. Resetting themselves as they head towards the end of the opening minute.

A right cross catches Diana around her cheek. Kaya nudges back Diana towards the ropes, drilling in a jab before a right cross lands again to the cheek of the model. Diana fighting off the back foot as she is being herded back around the outside part of the ring. Kaya outworking her opponent as she lands two punches to Diana's one as she keeps being aggressive.

Late in the round a left cross catches Kaya on her jaw. A straight ploughs into her lips to make her back off, Diana looks like she wants to make Kaya respect her as they exchange in close range. Heads nearly clash as they dig their toes in to throw their power punches. The round ends with both women having a quick stare down before walking to their stools. Kaya started well but Diana showed glimpses of why she is a fearsome fighter in her right.

Round 2:
After a chat with her coach, Diana is starting to crouch and move her upper body more, giving Kaya a new look to have to contend with. Kaya a little thrown off as her punches are glancing more then landing flush in the opening thirty seconds. Punches landing square into the face of Kaya when Korkunova sees her openings.

An overhand right slams into the cheek of Kaya, Diana slams in a follow up jab/straight into the face of her foe to push her back. The quicker Diana is showing why she was once number one in the BBU's flyweight division. Kaya catches her with a left cross and a straight to show she isn't going to be bullied around.

As Kaya is near the ropes she catches Diana to her forehead with a straight. Kaya stepping after her opponent to exchange with her. Both landing through the others guard to mark up their faces. The round comes to a close with Henry tapping Diana's gloves before she sits down, happy with her work this round.

Who is firing back but it's off the back foot. Diana putting on a bit of a masterclass at that moment as she drives back her opponent to the ropes.

Pushing off Diana and moving off the ropes, Kaya has to time her attacks, slamming in a few crisp jabs and straights into the face of Diana to give her some food for thought. Both exchange hard shots just before the round ends. Diana looking great as she sits down, Kaya is stewing but Hilary tries hard to keep her focused.

Kaya lands a left hook followed by a straight into the face of her foe, reminding the crowd she has some skills of her own. Diana needing to fight off the ropes, getting roughed up by Kaya giving her a few shoves back onto the ropes before stinging her cheeks.

Diana is having to keep her back near the ropes, Kaya not wanting to give her much room to breath. With both causing a pink hue to form on the others cheek. Kaya presses Diana to the ropes as she pounds at the abs, getting grunts escaping the lips of the model up until the bell rings. A good response there from Kaya as she reminds Diana what she can do.

Round 5:

Boxing on after they are split apart. Diana countering her opponent with some slick punches to her face and chest. Both are showing why they are rated so highly here as the final thirty seconds sees both throwing in flurries of punches that land to send sweat flying. At the bell both take a breath before walking to their stools. Eyes firmly locked across the ring as while they won't admit it, they have to respect what the other is able to do in the ring.

Round 6:
Some of their jabs collide with each other as they look to land early to get through each other. Both landing stiff straights into the others face, a cut forms on Diana's bridge of her nose. Kaya getting clipped across her jaw with a right cross to back her off.

Nudging her back onto the ropes, whacking away at her torso till Diana holds onto her. Both look to be hurting as they bump bodies.

Split up as they head into the final minute, Diana looks to have slowed down, Kaya feinting before ramming a straight into the liver area of Diana, who is haunched over with a groan. KAYA SHOVES HER INTO THE ROPES AND BEATS AWAY AT HER BODY! DIANA GOES DOWN TO ALL FOURS WITH A WHIMPER!

Winner Kaya Scodelario KO Round 7

After:
Walking to her corner; Kaya places her forehead on the top turnbuckle as she was made to work for this victory. Hilary patting her on the back telling her "that's the old Kaya we all want to see" Kaya nodding to her before she sits on her stool. It still looks awkward between them but certainly better then it was.

Diana has to be helped over to her stool. She gets an ice pack on her stomach to numb the pain. She looks understandably gutted over this loss, she looked brilliant in the middle part of the fight but just couldn't finish the job off. Henry pointing out she should be proud of her performance tonight.

Soon enough once both have recovered and been patched up they head to the middle of the ring. Diana nods as Kaya gets her left hand raised by the referee in victory. There's a left fist bump exchanged between them as Diana smiles at Kaya, who isn't as happy to see her but she can't lie about Diana's talents.

Out the ring with help goes Diana, she walks to the back stage area getting pats on the back from fans at ringside. One big win in the FCBA looks like it would break her out in this organisation, it seems a question of when and not if she will break out here.

In the ring Kaya fist bumps Hilary before they leave the ring together. Kaya walks slightly ahead of Hilary. It is going to be interesting to see if Kaya has turned the corner with Hilary and if this means her future with the Girls Friday stable is going to be back to the loving relationship it once was, not the frostiness over the last year.
