Valentina says "I get people will be interested in my future and my stables but I am here for one thing only. That is to show the world that us Italians are the best damn fighters around. This title over my shoulder proves I am the best in my country." Starting off a little hot.
She takes a breath before she continues with "Doutzen I know you are a top fighter and deserve your spot in this event. Problem for you is I am here and you have got me to face off with. My drive is the best it has been in my career. Expect my hand to be raised throughout the night." Marching off the set proudly holding her title.
Doutzen meanwhile looks more relaxed as she walks onto the set wearing a violet dress with black heels. Blowing a kiss to the camera as she starts with "first I want to say thank you to all my fans in Holland for their kind words. Being the face of Dutch boxing means the world to mean. Well hopefully I bring the world cup home as a symbol of that love I have for you all."
She then puts her hands on her hips as she says "to Valentina; I know you are a great fighter, you have done your country proud but I have reached that top level twice. I have made the weight again and I feel powerful. While I respect you, I also don't fear you." Nodding before heading off the set.
