BEFORE:
The Bantamweight champion enters the press room to thunderous applause, Bella Thorne accruing one hell of a winning streak since October of 2020, most recently putting away elite fighters like Evangeline Lilly and Chloe Bennett. No wonder the Doll’s acting all cocky and stuff, smiling wide from the table.

"Seems like Naomi is the only name still making noise that I haven't beaten yet, and that's only because I haven't tried. I honestly have no idea who I'm going to fight after I beat her tonight....maybe I'll take a long ass break until someone actually worthy comes along...go on vacation y'know...just me and my belt…and my weed!” the Doll laughs. “Anyway, Naomi's record is pretty wild, but she lost to both Kira and Demi last year. She's not championship material, at least not yet. I'm gonna expose this b*tch tonight."

No one likes to be labelled like that, and while Naomi certainly has had her share of speed bumps in recent times, she too has put away girls like Lilly and Ratajkowski in order to gain her title shot tonight. The HISC starlet smiles back at Thorne in a polite fashion from the other end of the table, before replying:

“Like Bella said - she hasn’t faced someone like me before this. She may be taller and younger, but I’m certainly no pushover. I’d like to end her reign tonight and show the rest of the world what a fraud she really is.”

Ladies square off at the podium and there’s little more space for words, with Thorne smirking down two inches into Naomi’s own gleaming eyes. They don’t say anything else to each other besides listening to the ring officials’ instructions, before turning to the crowd with their fists raised high and proud. Little else expected from these two rivals as they separate with no shake of the hand or well-wishes for the upcoming clash.

Fight night and Naomi Scott, the challenger, comes out of the curtains first, flourishing a long black cape that’s shimmering over her shoulders with silver gems, her own body wrapped in a tight-hugging black brassier and cotton briefs. The English actress has had plenty of success thus far both inside and outside the ring, accumulating a 15-4 record that’s the envy of any girl in the FCBA. Out next, champion Bella Thorne brandishes a wicked smile as she strides onto stage with both her hands stuck high into the air. The Doll’s dressed in what is becoming her regular champion colors, looking slick and sexy in a tiny red bikini top and black tights, complete with black gloves.

Referee calls the match of the evening to order, signaling for the Bantamweight belt to be handed over for safekeeping. Thorne doing the honours for the fourth time since she took the straps from Kira Kosarin back in August of last year, gesturing back in her corner that she plans to continue to defending the title countless times more. Not if Scott has anything to say about it though - the challenger looks hungry for action at the other end of the ring, knows this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and plans to seize it.

Without further ado, there goes the bell and HERE WE GO with ten rounds of Bantamweight action! This here’s for the Unified Bantamweight Title!

ROUND 1:
A cocky stance from Bella Thorne as the bell rings, the redhead moving slowly, calmly and smoothly across the canvas, as she tests Naomi’s defences with plenty of jabs from afar. She knows she’s the favourite coming into this fight, and she’s acting as such, dipping her toes into the water with the occasional bash of a hand to Scott’s guard, hoping to wrap things up before suppertime. Scott playing along for now, taking shot after shot to her arms, bare grunts from her plushy lips as she waits for an opportunity to strike back. Thorne growing cocky from her assault, as a result, doesn’t retreat when she should, after landing another crisp one-two combo to the Brit’s nose, gets smacked hard on the side of her head as Naomi rears in to counterattack. Unexpected aggression from the challenger as Naomi rushes into the champ, confidently taking a flurry of jabs to her guard like irritating gnats hitting the windshield as she continues swinging wildly at Bella’s head, finally scaring the champ off at the bell. Well, we’d say this was an interesting opening round indeed, with both ladies landing shots respectively, equally.

ROUND 2:
Thorne seen and heard growling in between the rounds, at the audacity of her opponent actually putting up resistance to her own supremacy. She ain’t having it! Bell sounds and HERE she comes, jumping forward and shocking Naomi right to the kisser with a fast left-right combo, then another three jabs landing in quick succession to the body and chest. Scott of course has studied her foe’s legendary aggression, but even she didn’t expect this amount of pain this early in the fight. Scott struggles to adapt, keeping her arms up and face hidden, but this just gives Bella ample room to land shots to her body with lunging lefts and rights, the Doll huffing and puffing away as she angles her elbows low and lands blows on the torso with impunity. Scott only returns with the occasional swipe at the champion’s head and arms, but these attacks are easily avoided by a slick-moving Thorne. Back to the drawing board for one girl, and though Bella doesn’t get the knockdown she sought this round, she’s certainly taken it in dominant fashion.

ROUND 3:
Naomi had a bad round but that ain’t gonna light her corner in flames. She fights more cautiously at the start, and it’s Bella who wades in a little too hard and fast, hoping to throw Scott into the ropes for more punishment. First minute sees plenty of action from the champ, who rushes in and peppers Scott with fast jab combos, scoring aplenty on her face and body, but never really using enough force to force the challenger downwards. Naomi returns fire past the middle mark, taking wider swings at Bella, and suddenly, the tides are turning, with Naomi landing a big hook to the arms and narrowly taking Bella’s head off with another. Bella miscalculating, having thought Scott’s just another lowly jobber here, but the HISC starlet’s proving otherwise as she rocks Thorne to the body with another hook to the side, a final one powered across the top of the head, which almost sends Thorne into a tailspin. Bell sounds soon after, however, giving Scott the narrow lead she needs to stay in the game.

ROUND 4:
Thorne adapting, however, keeping her distance, suddenly wary of Scott’s power. She’s faced powerful enemies before but Scott’s still an unknown quantity, manages to stop her advance with quick attacks to her nose and lips, whenever Naomi tries to rush in for another blitz attack. It’s Scott’s turn to underestimate the champ, and she pays for it as a result, getting tagged on the face repeatedly as Bella pounds on her from afar. Third minute and Scott has the sense to keep away, after taking another two hits to her chest from the faster woman. Bella caught on camera smirking, having once reigned as the JMD champ after all, as the Doll keeps hounding her foe from a safe distance. Thorne happy to let the challenger retreat for now, having already taken this round by a landslide margin.

ROUND 5:
Things are just getting started though. First minute is initially devoid of action, with both girls circling and poking at each other from afar. But a sudden cross-combo to the middle of the arms seems to stun the champ momentarily, that last right hand driven straight into her nostrils, making things worse. Thorne grunting out of shock and pain as she grabs at her face, has to scramble backwards if she wants to avoid more errant fists that are fired in quick succession, Scott seizing the advantage as she rains more blows all over her body and arms. Thorne scoots back to a comfortable distance but the damage has been done: she’s breathing heavily as she attempts a comeback in the final minute, jab jab jabbing at Scott’s head in order to salvage this round, but it’s a futile attempt at best, counterproductive at worst as she further tires herself out to the bell.

ROUND 6:
Scott however also needs a gander to catch her breath. The HISC starlet plays defensive in the sixth, calm and collected side-swerves here, both arms locked over her chest and chin. Thorne's far-away jabs are either not landing or hitting the arms, as a result, lacking venom due to the Doll’s tired nature or great distance. In a repeat of the first round, however, Scott finds herself getting out punched down the line, as Bella picks up steam with a pik pak pik pak of leather gloves landing on the challenger’s chin and nose, snapping her head back with loud grunts - timely reminders to Naomi that she’s still playing a game with the best of the best, and this fight is probably going all the way to its bitter end.

ROUND 7:
BLAST of a hook from Scott and Thorne goes reeling! Oh no! It looks like Naomi’s been holding back this entire time, finally unleashing her power here! She catches Thorne dazed on the ropes with another pumping shot to her tummy, a third swing to her arms almost throws her off her feet and down by the ropes. Bella’s face filled with shock and awe, as she realises the danger she’s in, especially at the thought of going another three rounds with this behemoth. Scott advances on her every step of the way, in no hurry to score that knockout blow but damned sure she’s going to try… Bella suffers the worst round of this fight as she covers up her best and weathers the non-stop assault, her torso getting tanned by lunging hooks, and her arms and head thrown this way and that. Scott finally relents at the end, but only because the referee finds himself in between the fighters at the bell, leaving Thorne withered and gasping for air on the ropes.

ROUND 8:
Thorne's tank is running empty here, as she struggles to keep pace with the bulkier, hungrier fighter. Scott has her sights zero-ed in on her now, firing on all cylinders. The bell rings and the Consortium starlet’s already halfway marches across the ring, stunning Bella with another straight shot to the arms, demonstrating again her knockout power as she almost throws the champ off balance. Follow-up blows are no less impactful as Naomi chases her down, repeatedly landing shots to her abs and ribs, then going up north with nasty slams to her face. Thorne's in trouble, and the rest of the arena is on the edge of their seats at the sight of their champion getting manhandled left and right. The fiery redhead needs a breather or two to stay alive but she’s not getting it here, with another hook slapped into her cheek, which sends her reeling into the ropes and almost falling to her knees. Scott growling, leaping in, burying another gut-shot into her belly, which folds Thorne in half, before a final hook across the chin is the NAIL in the coffin! THORNE GLASSY-EYED, rolling over to one side, her lips parted in stunned silence, before she COLLAPSES face-first down to the canvas!! WOW! What a shot from Naomi! The champion is splayed out on the mat, her cheek resting on the cold canvas as the referee counts it out! Scott ROARING her way back to the neutral corner with this first KNOCKDOWN of the evening! This might be history in the making, folks, as Bella is BARELY STIRRING, her hands pawing at the space above her head as she blows cold bubbles into the ground! A sorry sight indeed for Thorne’s fans and management as the proud flattened redhead seems to be completely out of it! 8….9….Bella still flat on her stomach, looking around groggily before her head finally flops down to the canvas in defeat for the last time. 10!!! IT’S OVER! WE’VE GOT A NEW CHAMP!

Official Decision: Naomi Scott defeats Bella Thorne via KO8! Naomi Scott is the NEW Unified Bantamweight Champion!

AFTER:
Validation for the Consortium darling indeed, as Scott melts into the turnbuckle back in her corner, pure relief on her face as she throws up her hands in cathartic release - it’s the culmination of a hell of an illustrious run these past few years, and one that has finally resulted in her reaching the very top of the Bantamweight ranks.

Thorne on the other hand is still splayed out flat on her stomach, only half conscious as the now dethroned champion helplessly awaits her medical team to peel her off the mat. She certainly won’t be able to do so herself anytime soon by the looks of things! But despite the humiliating defeat here tonight, there’s plenty the former champ should be proud of, having rocked the world only a few years ago with her Dollhouse debut before ending her second title run tonight, something not a lot of other girls in the FCBA can make a claim to.

Naomi surprisingly respectful to Bella in the post-fight, the new champion making her rounds around the ring with the championship belt brandished high for the whole arena to see. Meanwhile, Thorne’s semi lifeless body has been dragged over to her own corner by the Dollhouse medical team, where she has been revived and sat down with her back against the corner post. Naomi approaches the Dollhouse corner with the gold belt draped over one of her shoulders and the exhausted, dazed Doll can only look up and hope the new champion doesn’t have any plans for her. Naomi surprises Bella and the crowd by offering her outstretched hand, which Thorne briefly considers, eyeing it suspiciously, before finally accepting, shaking the Scott’s hand and, by doing so, not only admitting defeat, but also congratulating the new champion on her achivement.

What we’re seeing here is two elite fighters paying each other respect, and Scott promises later on to reporters that Thorne will be back, and that tonight is just the beginning of a new chapter.

“Oh, definitely. You can bet Thorne will be champion again one day. It won’t happen tomorrow, or the week after, and it sure as hell won’t happen on my watch, but I still want to congratulate her on one hell of a fight tonight. She definitely deserves her accolades, and it’s been an honour winning this from someone like her.”

Congratulations to Naomi Scott and the HISC team for becoming the NEW FCBA Bantamweight champion!
