BEFORE:

The bright lights of the Shanghai Dome illuminate the stage where both Alexis Ren and Mia Kang sit side by side, separated by a long table adorned with the insignia of the Kendall Jenner X Alexis Ren World Tour. Cameras flash incessantly as members of the international press clamor for the perfect shot. The air is thick with anticipation.


Alexis, dressed in a mini black dress with her long, brown hair cascading past her shoulders, exudes confidence. Meanwhile, Mia Kang, donning a sharp suit, portrays an air of experienced determination, her muay thai and MMA background clear in her upright posture.


The moderator steps up to the microphone. "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the press conference for the penultimate fight of the Kendall Jenner X Alexis Ren World Tour. Tonight, we have Alexis Ren, about to mark her 100th fight, and Mia Kang, a muay thai and MMA veteran."


Mia takes the lead, leaning into the microphone. "Look, everyone knows I've been in the muay thai and MMA world. And let's be real – it's a whole different ball game than boxing. Alexis, you might have the numbers, but I've got the variety. You've never faced someone with my versatility."


Alexis, rolling her eyes, responds dismissively, "This isn't the octagon, Mia. This is boxing. And those kicks you love so much? They're not going to help you here." She smirks, adding, "And while we're on the topic of numbers, you might want to check yours. I've got almost ten times the experience you have in the FCBA."


Mia smirks back, "Experience in boxing maybe, but I've faced and conquered challenges you can't even imagine. Don't underestimate my power to knock you out."


The atmosphere grows more charged as Alexis leans in, locking eyes with Mia. "100 fights, Mia. This one's special. Not because of the milestone, but because it's a stepping stone. My real prize is Kendall in Dubai. As for you? You're just the undercard to the main event."


The press conference moves into the anticipated face-off, as both fighters stand from their chairs and walk towards center stage. Mia, with her slightly taller and wider hips, stares Alexis down with a challenging smirk, trying to use her size to intimidate her younger opponent. Alexis, however, stands her ground, lifting her chin defiantly to meet Mia's gaze head-on, with their two foreheads nearly touching.


Mia’s broader shoulders, a testament to her MMA training, give her a more muscular silhouette, hinting at a strategy later centered around power and strength. Alexis, on the other hand, possesses a lean and toned figure, shaped by years of rigorous boxing and the agility to match. Her lithe frame suggests a game plan reliant on speed, maneuverability, and precision.


Alexis suddenly breaks the silence, her voice low and filled with determination, "You think you can actually beat me? Ha! Think again!" She subtly inches even closer, their noses almost brushing against each other, trying to force Mia to be the first to back away.


Mia chuckles, her breath warm against Alexis' face. "You're in over your head, little girl."

The moderator, sensing the escalating tension, finally steps in. "Alright, that's enough for today. We'll see the real action soon enough."


As the first few beats of Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy” reverberate through the Chinese stadium, the anticipation in the air grows palpable. Emerging from the shadows, Alexis is bathed in a shimmering silver spotlight, and her fans erupt in cheers, waving banners and posters with her name on them. For this monumental 100th fight, Alexis has opted for a glittering black robe with silver sequins, spelling out “REN 100” across the back. As she discards her robe in the ring, it reveals her fighting attire: a sleek, black two-piece boxing ensemble, with matching black gloves with silver lettering.


Up next, the deep rhythmic beats of “Warrior” by Imagine Dragons begin, with a traditional Chinese dragon dance preceding Mia's entrance, a nod to the host country and its rich culture. The dragon, symbolic of power, strength, and good fortune, weaves and dances energetically before Mia steps out in a deep, royal blue, adorned with intricate golden patterns inspired by Muay Thai designs, symbolizing her multifaceted fighting background. When she removes her robe in the ring, it reveals a blue and gold midriff-baring tank with matching shorts and blue gloves.


Referee signals for this fight to get started. Curiously, Miss Jenner is nowhere to be seen tonight, facing down her own dangerous opponent in the form of Fates Boxing’s Ming Xi, who just KO'ed Kelsey Merrit on the August PPV. Just as well - it allows both competitors to focus their energies on each other tonight! And with a wave of his hand, HERE WE GO with ten rounds of Lightweight action!


ROUND 1:

Both fighters step out cautiously, circling each other in the ring, sizing each other up early. Mia immediately draws from her mixed martial arts background, adopting a more grounded stance, keeping her center of gravity low and her movements fluid. Still, it’s clear that her feet are itching to lash out at the lean blonde, wanting nothing more than to slap a head kick into that smug face of Ren’s. Alexis, however, moves with the agility she's known for, darting in and out, light on her feet, initiating early jab exchanges as they gauge distances and each other’s reactions. Midway through the round, Alexis lunges in with a swift combination, trying to capitalize on her speed to connect leather to Mia’s face, but the bigger girl effectively blocks, before countering with a sharp hook to Ren’s side, forcing her to grunt and quickly regroups, bouncing back into her rhythm with her teeth gnashed together. Ren is still coming in hot, establishing her perimeter with that constant left jab snapping outwards in rapid succession. However, Mia manages to parry a majority of them, often countering with body shots that make Alexis momentarily double up from the fierce impact. Each time, Ren shakes it off, but the effects of Mia's strikes are becoming more and more painful, especially when Kang begins to put her own body weight before some of the punches, landing another stiff shot off her tummy to send Ren jerking to the side, not knowing what the f*ck to do with Mia’s power. In the final seconds, Alexis attempts a daring uppercut to the chin, but Mia sidesteps skillfully and lands another clean jab-cross combination straight to Ren's face, shocking her head back with a grunt, and the bell rings too soon and early. It’s Mia’s round to start, though both girls could be simply in their exploratory phases.


ROUND 2:

Mia storms in, taking the center of the ring and looking to impose herself early on. Ren, however, has other plans. Adjusting her tactics, Alexis circles Mia to the side more aggressively, avoiding a big overhand swing from the bigger brunette, before changing her angles and going on the offensive, jabbing at Mia's head and body with renewed intensity. For every counter Mia throws, Alexis responds with a two-punch combination, stuffing another one-two left-right number into the cheek. The VIXEN’s speed becomes a significant factor, allowing her to slip in and out of range before Mia can mount an effective counter. Midway through the round, Alexis shimmies her shoulders, and lands a particularly hard right cross straight through the arms and into Mia's temple, causing her to stumble a bit. Sensing another opening, Alexis unleashes a barrage of lefts and rights, battering Mia’s thick torso and arms to push her back towards the ropes. Yet, Mia, ever the warrior, fights back, launching a powerful right hook at the oncoming Ren, who sees it coming just in time to duck and counter with a stinging uppercut that snaps Mia's head back! It finally landed this time, and the last thirty seconds of the round sees both fighters trading blows near the ropes, with Kang mostly hitting the arms and throwing Ren to the side. But the Vixen’s punches are overall crisper, faster, and more numerous, swerving back in to leave Mia a little dazed at the bell. It's clear that Alexis has come back with a vengeance this round, making a statement and winning it on points decisively.


ROUND 3:

It's Mia who takes the initiative, perhaps recognizing that she can't let Alexis build momentum. The opening seconds have Mia establishing her own jab, snapping Alexis's head back repeatedly. Not just content with a jab, Mia incorporates feints, making Alexis second-guess her movements. This strategy creates openings which Mia exploits with precise hooks to both the head and body. Alexis tries to retaliate, throwing jabs and straights of her own. But Mia, showcasing her own agility, ducks and slips past most of them. She seems more grounded this round, using her feet smartly to stay within the pocket but at angles that make her a challenging target. Midway through the round, Mia executes a perfectly-timed bob and weave to avoid a straight right from Alexis. In the split second that Alexis is off-balance, Mia lunges in, sending a crushing left hook to Alexis's ribs, making the younger girl grunt in pain. Sensing Alexis's momentary vulnerability, Mia continues her assault. A quick one-two combination to Alexis's head is followed by a devastating uppercut. Alexis, reeling from the hits, stumbles backward, gloves raised defensively. Mia doesn't let up. She goes to the body, hammering at Alexis's midsection with thunderous blows, each thud echoing around the stadium. The crowd roars in appreciation as Mia channels her Muay Thai discipline, turning her hips and shoulders into each punch, maximizing her power. Alexis, however, remains defiant. She circles away, regaining her breath and attempting to find an answer to Mia's onslaught. In the dying seconds of the round, Alexis manages to land a sharp right hook to Mia's jaw, reminding the older fighter that she's still very much in this fight. But as the bell rings, it's evident that Mia dominated this round. The combination of her aggressive offense and tactical defense showcased her experience and earned her a decisive win on points.


ROUND 4:

There’s a sense of urgency evident in Alexis's movements. She knows she needs to rally after the previous round, and from the first bell, it’s clear she intends to turn the tide. Alexis starts by keeping her distance, circling Mia and utilizing her jab effectively. It's a strategy that keeps Mia at bay, preventing her from setting up her powerful hooks and crosses. Mia, for her part, seems more cautious, perhaps respecting the fact that Alexis's jabs sting more than she lets on. Several times during the round, Alexis lands a good combination on Mia, finding success with a one-two followed by a swift uppercut. However, Mia’s experience shines through, as she's able to deflect the worst of the blows with her gloves, or roll with the punches to reduce their impact. The highlight of the round comes when Alexis feints a left, causing Mia to raise her gloves, only to swiftly pivot and land a solid body shot with her right. The impact is clear, as Mia winces slightly, but she quickly re-establishes her guard, nodding in acknowledgment. Mia, for her part, isn’t entirely on the defensive. She lands several good punches, with a particularly memorable cross catching Alexis flush on the cheek. However, Alexis absorbs the blow well, using the momentum to spin away and reset her stance. Both fighters have moments where they shine, and the crowd is on the edge of their seats, knowing the round could go either way. As the final seconds count down, the two exchange a flurry of punches, neither willing to give an inch. When the bell sounds, it's evident that while Mia had her moments, Alexis edged her out. Her effective use of the jab, combined with her ability to find openings in Mia's defense, gives her a narrow victory in the round.


ROUND 5:

The fighters come out with clear intentions, hands up and heads bobbing, but it’s Alexis who advances on Mia with a newfound aggression. Her eyes dart to Mia's toned midsection, identifying it as the target she needs to focus on. Mia, anticipating a head-on approach, raises her gloves high, expecting a series of jabs and hooks to the face. But Alexis pivots her strategy, instead throwing a series of powerful hooks to Mia's abs. The first couple are absorbed by Mia, who grunts with each impact, but Alexis’s persistence starts to pay off, with each body blow, Mia’s breath audibly knocked out of her. Alexis doesn’t let up. She throws a rapid combination, alternating between lefts and rights, each punch thudding into Mia’s abs. Mia senses her breath hitching and tries to back away, circle out and regain her composure, but Alexis begins to herd her into a corner, pinning her back to the ropes and continuing to wail away at her arms and waistline. Soon, Mia’s arms, initially held high, start to drop, trying to protect her vulnerable midsection. But this leaves her face exposed. Alexis, with a steely glint in her eye, feints another body shot, causing Mia to flinch, and then, with all the torque she can muster, she sends a vicious right hook crashing across Mia's jaw!! Just like that, Mia's eyes roll, her body sways, and then, as if in slow motion, she topples sideways. She crashes to the canvas, landing on her side, her body limp! It’s a KNOCKDOWN for Alexis Ren!!


The referee rushes in, starting the count. "One! Two! Three!" And the audience joins in, with Mia, to her credit, staring to stir, making an attempt to rise. Her hands tremble as they try to push her off the mat, but her body isn’t responding. "Four! Five! Six!" She manages to prop herself on one elbow, but her gaze is distant, unfocused. "Seven! Eight! Nine!" As the referee calls "Ten!", it's clear. Mia can't beat the count! And it’s OVER!

Official Result: Alexis Ren defeats Mia Kang via KO5!


AFTER:

As the referee signals Alexis Ren's victory, the crowd goes wild, the noise echoing throughout the stadium. Alexis doesn’t bother to look down at her defeated opponent, instead, shifting her gaze out to the crowd, searching and then locking onto a familiar face.


With a cocky stride, she makes her way to the ropes, leaning over them and shouting out over the din of the crowd, "Kendall! You see that? That's my 100th win! Think I'm slowing down? Think again!" Pulling herself onto the ropes, she points straight at the cameras, banking on the fact that Jenner might be watching from ringside. "Whether it's my 100th, 200th, or 1000th fight, Jenner," she yells, her voice dripping with defiance, "I'll still kick your ass! Your time's coming, and there's nothing you can do about it!"


The crowd roars, some in support, others in dissent, but the message is clear: the feud between Ren and Jenner is far from over, and the boxing world is in for an epic showdown when the two meet in Dubai in October. 


Back in the ring, medical personnel are attending to Mia Kang, ensuring her safety and recovery, while Alexis, still buoyant from her victory, continues her celebration, readying herself for the next leg of the tour in Australia.
