Intro:
Sophia Bush and Kaya Scodelario both want a crack at the FCBA
bantamweight title, a win tonight for either keeps them in that hunt
against whoever claims the gold later.

by knockout and 18 defeats, she is a former FCBA JMD champion.
Kaya is 26 years old, stands 5'6 and holds a record of 21 wins, all by
knockout and 5 defeats in her career.
Both were interviewed at their gyms; with Sophia being asked about
Kaya from the time they sparred for a month before she fought Chloe
Bennett for the bantamweight title last year.
"We had fun or at least I did, she brightened up the training but of
course I wasn't able to claim the title, I'll change that of course if
I can get back into the title hunt" replies Sophia with a friendly
smile.
She continues "now I have to beat Kaya, I have fought friends before
and beaten them up, this won't be any different, she isn't going to
know what hit her because I am far from finished"
Kaya meanwhile answers the same question on sparring with "that was
simply a way to improve myself in my eyes, I mean Sophia clearly
didn't learn anything off me as she lost against Chloe"
As the journalists press her on her friendship with Sophia, Kaya looks
around before answering "OK I like Sophia, but right now she is in my
way to what I want, so I see her as I see everyone else in the
bantamweight division, as my bytch!" Storming off as clearly she is
having some mixed feelings on this fight.
Fight now; Sophia comes out with her best friend and coach Hilary
Burton by her side, both looking relaxed as they head down to the ring
chatting away on the gameplan.

gloves, while her hair is up in a fighting ponytail.
Climbing into the ring, Sophia does a lap inside the ring, waving at
the crowd as she looks excited to be here, getting to her corner; she
jokes with Hilary that she is winded before she begins to warm up.

stares into the ring as she heads down to it, she looks more tense as
she bangs her gloves together as she goes.
