(Girls Friday vs Fates Boxing)

Intro:
The fourth fight in the heated rivalry between Kendall Jenner and Taylor Swift is finally here, the FCBA lightweight title and history is on the line in another massive fight for both women.

Kendall is 24 years old; she stands 5'10 ½, she holds a record of 39 wins, all coming by way of knockout, with 11 defeats, she is a former FCBA lightweight champion.

Taylor is 30 years old; she stands 5'11, she holds a record of 40 wins, all coming by way of knockout, with 17 defeats, she is the current FCBA lightweight champion, this being her eighth defence.

Which is part of the history going into this fight, by beating Adriana Lima last month, Taylor passed Charlize Theron and Adriana on successful defences in a row for the FCBA lightweight title, now matching Yvonne Strahovski on seven, a win today and she'd hold the record on eight.

Standing in her way though is a woman it can be only described as her mortal enemy, made worse by the fact they were very close friends before the very public falling out between them, their personal feud has led to three previous hard fought wars inside the squared circle.

The problem for Taylor is she has lost every time these two have fought, when they first fought back in 2017, Kendall was able to knockout Taylor in nine rounds, after that she has knocked out Taylor twice in eight rounds, with both having the lightweight title at the front and center of the last two fights.

There's more been bugging Taylor as she heads into the hall for the press conference and weigh in, wearing a black satin robe, she seems to have been forgotten when it comes to her run of success due to Amanda Righetti's mammoth run at welterweight.

Across from her heading on the stage on the opposite side is Kendall wearing a white satin robe with a black sash, she is looking full of confidence after beating Amanda to she hopes prove she is the best pound for pound fighter on the planet, the lightweight title would further cement her legacy and make this another successful January for her.

Standing feet apart with the scales between them, their eyes are locked in an intense stare as they both have matching poses, hands on hips with their long legs on show for the crowd to see, a point of pride for them both.

As the challenger Kendall opens her robe to reveal a white bikini with red trim, she steps barefoot on the scales flexing her arms with a cocky grin as her weight comes in at 128lbs, some wondering if she is coming in heavy due to her catch weight fight just over two weeks ago with Amanda.

Still she looks might impressive as she steps off the scale, saying to Taylor as she points at the scales "all yours now bytch" with Taylor looking ready to pounce judging how her hands are clenched and her teeth are showing.

Slowly she opens up her robe to reveal she has on the lightweight title around her waist, Taylor hands it off to her Fates manager with a smile as Kendall rolls her eyes.

Dropping her black robe, Taylor reveals she has a black bikini on with gold trim, getting on the scales to reveal her weight is 124lbs, all the while she taps her impressive abs while glaring at Kendall.

Once both are weighed in, they are handed a microphone each so the press event part can begin, both look out to the stage but they keep stealing glances to each other.

It's Kendall who gets the ball rolling, starting off by jokingly asking the sea of journalists "what is it with January and me guys? For whatever reason I tend to get the big fights this time of year and this year hasn't been the exception"

Turning towards Taylor, she adds "though unlike Amanda, you really aren't a test for me any more are you? I've beaten you every time we have laced up the gloves, the fact you think because you hold the belt makes you special, you aren't and never will be in my league" the first shots fired and Taylor's cheeks turn red as her eyes narrow.

Taking a deep breath before she responds, first Taylor says to the journalists "just want to say that if Tess Valmore is out there, as you can see I have no fear for Kendall whatsoever, we all know she is probably at a bar since she spends all her time there or eating" getting a chuckle from some of the crowd.

Then she fires back at Kendall, saying "look I can't gloat over you in terms of our record against each other, yes you've beaten me every time so far, though it has been by a fine margin every time, you've never dominated me once" with Kendall mockingly pretending to yawn in reply.

"The difference now though is that I am in the best shape of my life, I am on the best run I have ever been on and frankly the title proves I am the best damn lightweight on the planet, no ifs or buts" Taylor says with passion exuding from her every word.

Kendall replies "well there is a but honey, I am the one reason you'll never be the best lightweight, I'm the one that risks myself fighting anyone who is worth the challenge, you only become the champion because I took my eyes off that belt, they are firmly on it now, you know what that means right?"

"F***ing enough!" Yells an irate Taylor, her anger for Kendall finally starting to boil, she continues "I am so sick of you bragging about your accomplishments, after this fight I can't wait to see your tiny model brain try to work out why you lost, piece together how you fell short, I am a much better fighter now and I will enjoy seeing you crying on the canvas"

That signals to Kendall that all has been said it seems as she steps forwards first, Taylor barely half a step behind her as they come nose to nose, touching foreheads soon enough as cameras capture this face off.

The room is buzzing as the fighters intensely stare hard into the others eyes, as if searching for something, maybe a moment of weakness that will help spur them on fight night.

Instead they slowly step back, Taylor is given the title back, which she holds up high in her right hand, Kendall signals with both hands at her waist that the title will be around it soon enough, before both leave the stage knowing where they stand before this feud moves on to another gear.

Fight night; out comes Kendall with coach Taryn Terrell and Eva Carneiro behind her, she is wearing a metallic red robe as she struts down the aisle, confidence oozing from her for all to see as clearly she thinks the title is coming home with her.

The model steps through the ropes, when she gets to the center of the ring, the robe comes off to reveal a metallic red sports bra, matching trunks with "Jenner" in cream white letters on the waistband, metallic red shoes and gloves, her brunette hair is up in a ponytail.

Stepping over to her corner, Taryn is telling her as she warms up "this is your night babe! Show Taylor why she'll never be in your class!" With Kendall fist bumping Taryn before all attention turns back to the top of the aisle.

Where Taylor heads out with not just her coaching team, but out first creating a guard of honour is her stablemates, girls like Elizabeth Olsen and Brie Larson pat Taylor on the back as she passes them by, telling her "go get her!" Even her fellow lightweight Emily DiDonato wishes her good luck as they hug.

While her stablemates go to the back to their locker room, Taylor's coach holds up the lightweight title as they march down the rest of the aisle, Taylor not looking one bit afraid of Kendall as she stares into the ring.

The singer steps into the ring wearing a white sports bra with black trim, matching trunks with "CHAMP" in gold letters on the waistband, white shoes and gloves, while her blonde hair is also tied into a ponytail.

Taylor bows to each side of the ring, her eyes linger a moment on Kendall as they share a hard stare, before heading to her corner, where her coach tells her "you are on the cusp of history, knock out this overblown bytch!"

The referee steps to the center of the ring after introductions are made, already it is clear the crowd is torn as let's go chants ring out for both women, who seem lost in their own little world where only the other exists, the classic you could cut the tension in the air is so fitting right now.

After the instructions the referee asks for a touch of gloves, instead both put a hand on the title belt the referee has in their hands, making it clear what tonight is all about, it certainly isn't about respecting each other.

Jogging back to their corners, they get their gumshields in and final instructions from their coaches, the bell rings to start 10 round of FCBA lightweight action.

Round 1:
"Ding!" The crowd roar as the leggy fighters come out their corners, circling at range as they test the others defences with jabs and straights, they look mirror images of each other with their stances and attacks.

Maybe due to her confidence of having the better record over Taylor, it's Kendall who throws the first few big shots, aiming to take off her opponents head with a hooking drive, all the punches miss though as Taylor simply dances back out the way, while leaning her head out of trouble.

Instead a double jab off Taylor smacks Kendall on her nose, warding her back to range, this time Taylor tries to be the aggressor and ends up eating a right on her mouth as she misses with a left cross.

They both land a few more punches now as they plant their feet more to trade, trying to set a pace that will give them the advantage, with grunts being let out each time they get hit cleanly.

They are so alike that they both step in late in the round with straight punches, smacking their rival square on the nose simultaneously, stepping back with an angry look as the bell rings to end the round with a stalemate.

Returning to their corners mumbling to themselves, neither wants to believe the other is similar to them in anyway, pundits chuckling at that notion when you consider physically they are nearly identical.

Round 2:
Back out to the center of the ring they head, circling looking for different angles to strike from as they move with their upper bodies looking bendy.

Pawing away at each other with jabs, they begin stinging the others breasts when they find no joy of landing cleanly up top, making their show their gumshields as if showing their teeth.

Taylor is the first to work out how to break the deadlock, feinting with a jab to the right boob, she swings a right across the cheek of Kendall, who had lowered her guard not expecting a head shot.

Finally it's Taylor who looks to have grabbed the bull by the horns, knocking Kendall to the outside of the ring, where she is stopping Kendall from dodging as much, while Taylor can slip punches before landing her own more often.

As the round enters the final minute, Kendall tries to be more aggressive as she swings in a left hook that finds air, Taylor reading it before countering with a straight to her forehead, followed by a left cross that backs off the model.

At the bell the Taylor fans are vocal as she raises her arms in the air, Kendall telling her "don't be so cocky yet Tails" making Taylor just shrug her shoulders with a cocky grin before they return to their corners.

Round 3:
Now they are fully warmed up, they are trading more combinations when they step in closer, planting their feet more to generate extra power in their long arms.

Again Taylor is the one to land the first meaningful combo, dodging a jab with a shoulder roll before landing a left uppercut, followed by a right cross that has Kendall grunting out as her ponytail flies around.

It just seems so far that Taylor is on a mission and her focus is maybe the best it ever has been, for the most part she is landing the better shots, while blocking Kendall's power punches.

Even the Girls Friday corner look a little surprised by this, seeing Kendall be pressed back towards the ropes, she moves past them while taking a jab/straight combo into her face to send some sweat flying at them.

It's only when the round is heading into it's final minute that Kendall finds a real reply to the drumming she was receiving, ducking a left cross and hammering in two hooks under the ribs of Swift.

The challenger just misses with an overhand right as Taylor steps back, it gives Kendall the opening though to start pushing back the singer, barking out each time she lands a shot to the abs of Swift.

Who lands a right across the top of Jenner's head just as the bell rings, there's a little shoving match as Kendall feels the blow came after the bell, the referee restoring order and getting the fighters back to their corners.

The Fates corner looks excited as Taylor sits on her stool, their head coach even comments "Taylor this might be your best showing yet, don't waste it OK, make sure you get your hand raised tonight" with Taylor listening keenly to any advice.

In the opposite corner; Kendall is fuming, telling Taryn "f*** sake! She is out boxing me!" Taryn simply replies for her to stop moaning on and beat Taylor.

Round 4:
As they come back out their corners, Kendall is looking to be more aggressive, it doesn't work at first as Taylor counters her with some nasty looking shots, cutting the bottom lip of Kendall with a left across them.

She dips a right hook though, Kendall using her left forearm to bump back Taylor before landing an overhand right to the side of the champs head, making Taylor wince as she retreats backwards.

For the first real time in this fight, it's Kendall dictating the action, keeping her opponent near the ropes as they lash out stiff shots to the other beautiful faces, snapping back heads with a fire in their eyes.

Problem for Taylor is she now hasn't the room to move as much, suffering now the same way Kendall has been the last two rounds, with punches going through her mitts onto her face.

In the dying moments of the round; Taylor lunges forwards with a right, it finds air as Kendall sidesteps left and lands a jab into the side of her face, a right hook then crashes into her abs to make her gasp.

The round comes to a close with Kendall telling Taylor "I told you not to get over excited bytch" the referee yelling at them to calm down as they hold them apart, their eyes full of hate say all they want to, they won't be satisfied till they see the other crumbled at their feet.

Sitting back on their stools, their corner teams have to work on their faces, Taylor has a little redness around her cheeks, Kendall's bottom lip gets worked on.

Round 5:
Taylor looks to get back on the front foot, with the crowd cheering their favourite on as they stand toe to toe, heads down as cross punches are slung from right back.

Maybe Taylor letting her temper get to her, she doesn't spot the feint by Kendall till the real right comes smacking her across her face, a double jab does follow to push her back to the outside of the ring.

Where again Kendall seems to have some control over what is happening, though Taylor is showing her fiery spark to keep coming back at her, lefts and rights are smacking into such beautiful faces, their normally porcelain cheeks are turning red.

A missed right by Taylor is met with a right to her body, an overhand left then smacks her across her cheek to turn her head, sweat and spit flies from Swift as she backs up to the ropes.

Kendall stepping in to work away, when most of her punches land on the forearms of her opponent, she barks out with effort as she looks to be trying to punch through the body of the blonde.

Ending up clinched up by Taylor, the glistening fighters bump bodies as they grapple along the ropes, Taylor's hissing as Kendall rubs her back against the ropes, till they are broken up.

When the round ends Kendall is beaming now, even her corner team are starting to relax as they seem to feel that normal service has resumed in their minds.

In the Fates corner they are not looking worried by Kendall's comeback, telling Taylor to keep her head up as she is the one to be beat, not the other way around.

Round 6:
The fighters both look assured in themselves as they move around the center of the ring, lanky legs still very much mobile as their rangy punches find gaps in the others defences.

This time Taylor steps inside to bang away at the body of Kendall; who grits her gumshield, firing back with cuffing punches to the ears of the champ to try to back her off.

Heading into the second minute of the round, they continue to trade stiff straights into the others face, Taylor's bottom lip now matches Kendall's, with blood running down to their chins, they wince when it gets hit square on.

Ducking down and using her left shoulder to bump back Taylor, Kendall lands an overhand right on the chin of Taylor, WHO STUMBLES BACK TWO STEPS AND EATS A RIGHT HOOK THAT SENDS HER DOWN TO HER RIGHT SIDE!

The fans are up on their feet, Kendall jogs over to the neutral corner with eyes firmly on Taylor, 1...2...3... Taylor shaking her head as she gets up on one arm, 4...5...6.. She starts to get up to one knee, 7...8.. Beating the count with her fists up, keen to show she is OK to the referee.

Allowed to continue on, Taylor has to keep a rampaging Kendall off her, they trade straight punches as Swift backs up around the outside of the ring.

Playing a dangerous game if she wants to try to sidestep Kendall, it doesn't come off as Kendall reads that she wants to go to the left, a right cross smacks her across her cheek.

Needing to drag Kendall into a clinch, cameras catch both fighters hissing insults into the others ears, the round ends as the referee finally separates them.

The big news of course is Kendall has taken another big step in this fight with that knockdown, Taylor shouting "f***!" As she puts her head on the top turnbuckle in her corner, her coach turning her around and giving her a rallying speech, Taylor fights back tears and nods in reply, looking refocused before the bell rings for the next round.

Round 7:
Looking to build off the last round, Kendall catches Taylor early with a jab/straight through the gloves to her face, just missing with an overhand right as Taylor leans out the way in time.

While Taylor is landing some pinpoint jabs to stop Kendall running through her, Kendall is the one landing the harder shots right now, making Swift have to step back to the outside of the ring.

Where Taylor has to clinch up when Kendall lands two more punches to her nose, a little blood runs from it as she rests on the shoulder of the brunette, they grind bodies together till the referee can split them up.

Once they are apart; Kendall continues to be the aggressor, searching for the big shot as she jabs to gauge the range, just missing with several big right hooks with venom behind them.

Going into the final thirty seconds of the round, Kendall steps in with a left cross that just misses, instead a right lands on her liver making Kendall bend down, AN UPPERCUT TO THE FACE OF KENDALL TO SEND HER TO HER BACK!

A stunned look crosses the Girls Friday corners faces, Taylor shouting "yes!" As she heads to the neutral corner, 1...2...3...4.. Kendall turning to her front, 5...6...7.. She rubs her stomach as she crawls to the ropes, 8...9.. Beating the count to the relief of her coach.

Back comes Taylor when she gets the chance to get at Kendall, her fans roaring her on as she lands another body shot, rearing back her right but the bell rings to possibly save Kendall.

What a massive turning point that knockdown seems to be for the fighters, Kendall is looking worried as she returns to her corner, ice packs on her body to numb the pain.

The Fates corner sees Taylor nod to her coach as she gets cleaned up, thanking them for stopping her spiralling mentally when she was put down, can she finish it though?

Round 8:
Both fighters are planting their feet more, Kendall seems to be trying to bash back Taylor, it is leading to a heated exchange though that sees sweat fly from both fighters heads.

Kendall's plan seems to be failing as she doesn't seem to have the power now, Taylor knocks her back with a beautiful double jab/uppercut, sending Kendall near the ropes.

When Kendall tries to swing a right hook; it misses as Taylor blocks it, A DIGGING RIGHT TO THE LIVER OF KENDALL HAS HER CRYING OUT, A SECOND SENDS KENDALL TUMBLING TO ALL FOURS!

Taylor raises her fists and looks to the heavens, being nudged to the neutral corner as she looks like she wants to watch closely the count and if Kendall gets up; to knock her back down.

1...2...3...4.. Kendall is kicking the canvas as she cradles her stomach and her forehead is touching the canvas, 5...6...7.. The Girls Friday crew have their heads in their hands, 8...9.. Kendall spits out her gumshield as 10 she is counted out!

Winner and still FCBA lightweight champion Taylor Swift KO Round 8

After:
Finally Taylor has the chip off her shoulder and makes history to do it, her reaction as she sheds tears of joy and raises her fists into the air shows how much it means to her.

She steps over to Kendall almost wanting to check it really is her she just beat, standing staring down at her as all Kendall can do is sob from the pain she is in and the feeling of defeat.

Bending down after taking her gloves off, Taylor pulls Kendall's hair so she can look into her eyes, telling her "I can so easily humility you right now, finally you feel what I have every time we fought" Kendall's eyes look pleading, she is too out of breath to say anything.

Instead Taylor just waves for her belt, holding it up as she stands back up straight, looking down at Kendall again as her fans chant "Swift!" Repeatedly.

"Don't worry Kendall, I don't need to do anything to you tonight, the fact you are suffering right now is all I need right now, next time I beat you I'll save something special for you, think about that next time I see you" Taylor tells the beaten woman, before heading off to corner with the belt on her shoulder.

Finally the Girls Friday crew can go help their girl, the referee getting an earful from them for not letting them in the ring, they get Kendall up to her feet, Eva giving her a hug that Kendall has to remind her that her body hurts.

Returning to her corner; Kendall leans on the top turnbuckle, she is looking down in the dumps as Taryn helps her with her gloves, telling Kendall to not let tonight after beating Amanda Righetti drag her down.

Across the ring the Fates crew give Taylor a hug, all of them praising her for finally beating her bogey woman, one remembers she has a record under her belt and Taylor's eyes go wide as she is shocked that she was able to do that, heard saying "oh my gosh! Really?" She jumps for joy holding the title belt up.

Kendall seeing that has had enough, she steps out the ring with Taryn and Eva having to follow her up the aisle, Kendall had her hips as she storms to the back, mixed emotions written across her face as this defeat has knocked her back.

Inside the ring Taylor gets her hand raised by the referee, she then poses for the camera's as her coach puts the title around her waist, Taylor is beaming as she has her right fist clenched up by her boob.

She asks the camera's "so does that make me the number one in the FCBA?" Winking as she holds up her right index finger to signal a one, her coach grinning behind her.

The Fates crew step out the ring with Taylor leading them up the aisle, wiping tears from her eyes as the crowd chant "number one!" At her, making her laugh, who can stop her becoming the pound for pound Queen of the FCBA?
