Elizabeth Olsen:
Before:
Elizabeth Olsen was one of the most feared fighters of 2021 and put together a lethal winning streak that saw her win the bantamweight title after ten years in the FCBA, but the brunette lost her title last month and lost to ex-stablemate Brie Larson on the beach. Anya herself went undefeated in 2021, winning all nine of her bouts, but is 2-2 in 2022. A win against Elizabeth would catapult the young redhead into title contention.
The pre-fight press conference is civilized, with both girls complimenting their foe. Anya starts, “Lizzie spent a decade in the FCBA chasing after that title and spent two years in the middle of her career as a free agent. If anyone deserved it, she did. Tonight, I’m going to test myself against one of the best girls in the FCBA, and I’m going to prove that I can be one of the best girls in the league.”
Olsen responds by complimenting her foe, “Anya has made a name for herself despite only having little more than a year with a stable. She will win the title one day, but today, I’m going to prove I am still the better fighter.”
Both girls make their way into the arena. ATJ wears a blue sports bra and matching trunks with white gloves and Olsen wears a crimson sports bra with black trunks and gloves. The actresses thunk their gloves together and the bell rings for ten rounds of bantamweight action.

Lizzie hangs tough and gets the clinch to force a break, and she gets the separation from her foe. Taylor-Joy establishes her jab again but this time Olsen starts to find her counters back. Lizzie with a quick right into Anya’s mouth on an unclean jab helps the brunette knock the redhead back, and the Avenger follows up with a strike to her foes body. Anya recovers and slugs a right into Liz’s chest and knocks the older girl back again, and Anya goes back to the jab.
