BEFORE: We come to a rubber match between two English fighters but something tells us Lily Collins and Cheryl Cole won't be quite done with each other after this one anyway! Lily fell down to Cheryl on her BBU debut way back in 2013 before pulling one back in December 2016. She has achieved something that Cheryl couldn't - that's an unified FCBA flyweight championship - but the Geordie singer remains convinced she's best British flyweight in the business:

"I still have a score to settle with Emma Watson but first I need to take Lily to the cleaners. She's not as good as everyone thinks! Buckle up, pet! You're going down tonight!"

Meanwhile Lily believes her tonight's opponent is well aware time is running out on her elite ambitions: "Cheryl is not getting any younger, folks! Two more years and she'll be on the wrong side of forty! This is like her last chance to make a run at the FCBA straps. And I'm gonna make sure it's over before midnight!" (giggles).

Lily Collins wears a light blue crop top, matching micro hotpants & silver gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a sleek ponytail. Cheryl Cole wears a black & white vertically striped bikini top, black micro hotpants & blue gloves. Long dark brown hair tied in a half-up ponytail. The fight is scheduled for ten rounds in the flyweight division.

Round 1:
Lily anticipates Cheryl will unload the slugging attack and manages to beat the older girl to the punch which allows her to dominate the initial exchange. Cheryl soaks up a couple of nasty hits into her face but refuses to back off and drops more hammer jabs before Lily smacks her to the body and leans on the singer with additional wrath. This triggers a proper slugging bash where the younger brunette stuffs her opponent with some nasty gut shots and forces Cole into a hectic retreat when she explores her liver area. Ugh! One doesn't expect Chezza to bail out of close range so quickly and Collins taunts her verbally in the closing stages when she lands more body shots to trap the Geordie singer on the turnbuckle.

Round 2:
Cheryl responds with an overhand blast and aims most of her shots into Lily's face which works well enough due to a superior precision that leaves the actress struggling to match the intensity during a rather one-sided opening minute. Lily has to gather her thoughts as Cole picks her off straight up the middle before a looping double catches the younger brunette on the chin and drops her onto the ropes. Cheryl tries to keep the fellow Brit pinned in a precarious spot but Collins spins out of danger and loops an overhand response that slows the Geordie's attack until a booming right hook slams the VIX brunette on the mouth anyway. Lily trips back onto the ropes and has to soak up Chezza's charge that pierces the midsection this time and forces Lily to clinch the fellow Brit into a lenghty stalemate in the closing stages.

Round 3:
Lily believes she can outslug the older brunette but soaks up a nasty double on the chin that only makes Cheryl more aggressive and drops Collins into a hectic retreat once she realizes she can't quite outmuscle the Geordie singer in heads up exchange. Cole flat out bullies her onto the ropes where she plugs more harpoons to the body while blocking off most of Lily's head shots in the process. Collins gets a little too desperate as she tries to ride the slugging path only to find out that Chezza can embrace a vicious hit or two and slam it right back into Lily's face herself. Ugh! Lily gets pinned onto the turnbuckle and just can't punch herself out of trouble before Cole gives her a visible swelling around the lips which underlines the Geordie dominance.

Round 4:
Cheryl begins to verbally taunt the fellow Brit before Lily blows her gasket and slams a head-hunting combo into the singer's face. She drives it up her gut moments later and lands a stray headbutt that bends the older brunette sideways. Cheryl refuses to back off but gets stuck on her heels and Lily comes crashing down on her with a scything combo on the temples boosted by another looping shot on the ear. Ugh! Chezza trips back onto the ropes and it's Lily who enjoys a dominant spell thereafter as she plugs the singer in the breadbasket and keeps piercing her downstairs for remainder of the round. Chezza slumps into loud spasms and has a hard time keeping Lily off her midriff as the VIX brunette rallies into a supreme position to even the scorecards after four.

Round 5:
Lily keeps punishing the singer's midsection early in the fifth and Chezza must be feeling that pressure as she avoids slugging it back at the fellow Brit. She uses the otherwise supreme footwork to avoid more trouble but Lily taunts her verbally in familiar fashion and Chezza regains the phone booth desire to plug her mitts into Collins' body again. However Lily enjoys the better spell when she whacks the singer on the navel and catches her with a stray elbow in the chest as well. Cheryl stumbles on her heels and gets blasted on the chin before Lily nails her on each temple and traps firmly on the ropes come the final minute. She hammers a harpoon rally on the exposed ribcage and dumps Cole into loud spasms as the singer tries to clinch her foe but only gets busted in the chops one more time instead.

Round 6:
Collins thinks she's really hurt Cole to the body and tries to drive more harpoons into the singer's midsection but then Cheryl fires a brutal left hook from the inside that catches the actress on the jaw and spins her to the side. Ugh! Lily tries to jump back into the groove but Chezza beats her to the punch and pierces her solar plexus with a stuffing right hand before she loops another hook on the ear. Lily takes a couple of steps back but still wants to drop the hammer on the seemingly subdued rival... she shoots over Chezza's shoulder and gets SMOKED ON THE JAW when Cole steps up with the counter. Perfect timing from the Geordie babe who FOLDS COLLINS ONTO HER KNEES with a chin-checker Adrianne Palicki would be proud of!!! Lily bends her head against the canvas and looks to be in some pain, she raises her head at five and blinks frantically when she realizes she has to hurry up here... she's up at eight but then grabs her jaw and wobbles down to her backside as gravity takes over. Uh-oh! That's all she wrote, folks!!! KO6 Cheryl Cole!!!

AFTER: The Geordie singer shakes her glove at the stunned opponent who remains frozen down on the canvas and needs a few seconds to realize the rubber match ended in disaster. Lily still holds her chin when the verdict is announced and she'd be lucky to escape a structural damage there while Cheryl taunts the VIX entourage over Emma Watson having to step up to salvage their pride:

"I beat her once before so she should be asking me for a rematch... if she's brave enough! In the meantime I'm booked for the Fight Night Live Main Event against a certain Hall of Famer. Hayden P. never backs off from an elite challenge and I'd like to know if she can still take a mean punch or is she resting on the laurels already! Wish me luck!" (winks).

Official Result: Cheryl Cole def. Lily Collins KO6.
