The history of the B.A.B.E. Championship Belt begins here!
-
- “It all started with Liberty Lane, the first sanctioned champion of the original Foxy Boxing League. When Lane beat out the competition to earn the coveted title, the general public still did not view foxy female boxing in a favorable light. But Liberty Lane helped bring acceptance to the sport through her successful record and positive promotion in the media. Liberty Lane became a popular champion in the eyes of many fans of foxy boxing, new and old. “
-
- “But all good things come to an end. Despite her skill and power, Liberty Lane eventually lost the Foxy Boxing championship belt. A highly publicized rivalry with newcomer Vanity Vale took up newsprint and TV reports in the weeks leading up to her last championship fight. And when the evening finally arrived, Vanity Vale took the popular champion apart in front of the whole world.”
-
- “Vanity Vale was deemed the new Foxy Boxing champion, defeating Liberty Lane for the title. As opposed to Lane, Vale was hugely unpopular, turning fans off with her smug, cocky attitude. But despite her reputation, Vanity Vale held on to the championship belt. During that time, she even defeated Liberty Lane again in a widely-viewed rematch. (The topless stipulation was credited for the match’s record-breaking viewership.) Many experts believe that it was Vanity Vale’s brutal victory in that rematch that started Lane’s career down its eventual downward path.”
-
- “Vanity Vale was a powerful champion, but she soon found out there was someone even more powerful. Vanity Vale’s championship tenure soon ended at the hands of the villainous Ivanna Payne. In another rare topless match, Vanity Vale found herself outgunned by Payne’s powerful fists and ended up victim to the 10-count, losing the championship belt in the process.”
-
- “Ivanna Payne ripped the championship belt from Vanity Vale’s broken body and held on to that title with an iron grip. She terrorized the Foxy Boxing League, defeating all challengers that came her way. Ivanna Payne also had the dubious distinction of ending Liberty Lane’s career in the Foxy Boxing League in a famous Retirement Match… the match that would haunt Liberty Lane due to her vocal submission to Payne captured on videotape. “
-
- “Although forced into humiliating retirement, Liberty Lane found a new way to earn the public’s respect when she took on a new, up-and-coming boxer who would bring an end to Ivanna Payne’s championship reign. In front of millions, Ivanna Payne walked into the ring as an overconfident champion but ended the match out for the count thanks to Liberty Lane’s new protogee: Raquel Balboa! Balboa took the world by storm when she endured Payne’s overbearing attack and rose up to take the champion down. By the end of that match, Raquel Balboa became the heroine everyone had been waiting for.”
-
- “Raquel Balboa was the most popular champion the Foxy Boxing League had seen yet. With Liberty Lane by her side, Balboa defeated every boxer that challenged her for the title. She helped promote the sport in her spare time and brought even more recognition to Foxy Boxing. After a long time as champion, Raquel Balboa’s career culminated in the match of her life against Rayne, the women people dubbed ‘The Champion Killer.’ After a long, hard-fought match, Raquel Balboa was left standing, having stopped Rayne’s path of destruction. And then Raquel officially retired, undefeated, from her championship boxing career. Many insiders think that Raquel saw the shut down of the Foxy Boxing League coming and decided to retire before the league’s closure. For this reason, Raquel Balboa was allowed to keep the championship belt, with many feeling she had earned it through her hard work.”
-
- “Months later, the championship belt and Raquel Balboa were back in the headlines. Raquel announced her plans for a new boxing league: B.A.B.E. – Beautiful Angels of Boxing Entertainment. And as part of her plan, Raquel would be surrendering her belt to the league so that someone new could earn it and start off a B.A.B.E. Championship history.”
-
- “And that brings us to tonight! Join us as the race to become the first B.A.B.E. Champion begins! After several preliminary bouts, eight women have been chosen to battle it out for B.A.B.E. supremacy. These women are the cream of the current B.A.B.E. crop. But only one can be Champion of the Beautiful Angels of Boxing Entertainment league!”
-
- “Penelope Primrose, former UK Foxy Boxing Champion. Penelope was a crowd favorite across the pond, but soon her luck changed when she faced Rayne, the ‘Champion Killer’. After her loss to Rayne, Penelope faced her old rival Morgan Mace in a championship rematch, but came out on the losing end as Morgan finally crushed her in the ring. After taking some time off, Penelope joined the B.A.B.E. league and turned her fortune around, making it to the Championship Tournament undefeated. Now, the British beauty has a chance to wear championship gold once more. Can she do it? We’ll find out in the coming weeks!”
-
- “Shani Shakur. The boxer from Kenya proved her worth in the B.A.B.E. league by tearing through a list of women to make it into the Championship Tournament. Having developed a reputation as one of B.A.B.E.’s fiercest fighters, now only a few women stand in her way of championship gold. Will Shani be the last woman standing with the belt around her waist? Get ready to find out!”
-
- “Ivanna Payne, former Foxy Boxing champion. There was no doubt that Payne would leave a brutal mark on B.A.B.E. She has lived up to her reputation by destroying the women she’s faced on her path to the B.A.B.E. Championship belt. Now, she’s in the tournament and looking to wear gold around her waist once more. And she claims she’ll have fun doing it, at the expense of her opponents. Will Ivanna usher in a new reign of Payne in B.A.B.E.?”
-
- “Sonja Redding. From her first B.A.B.E. match on, Redding has become a favorite with the fans by achieving victory after victory. Once touted as ‘The Next Big Thing’ in the previous Foxy Boxing League, she has proven it in B.A.B.E. Now, she’ll be in the fight of her life… the fight to become the last woman standing. And the fight to become the first B.A.B.E. Champion. Will Sonja Redding capture the hearts of many more fans along with the gold? Time will tell!”
-
- “The Jade Fist. From her debut match in B.A.B.E. to now, the Jade Fist has proven to be a merciless fighter in the ring. With powerful fists and swinging speed, she has sent her foes, big and small, crashing to the canvas. And she has delighted in their defeats. And now, her path has led her to the B.A.B.E. Championship Tournament. Will this silent and feared fighter capture the gold? We’ll find out in the coming weeks!”
-
- “Vanity Vale, former Foxy Boxing champion. Living up to her boasts, Vanity Vale has accomplished what she set out to do: destroy women and make it to the Championship Tournament. With a sly smile on her face, Vale has left many opponents broken at her feet. She only has a few more to get through in order to taste the feeling of being champion once again. Will Vanity Vale end the tournament as the first B.A.B.E. Champion? We’ll see!”
-
- “Rayne. The ‘Champion Killer’ is now ready to become a champion herself. She entered B.A.B.E. with one goal in mind: demolish all opponents. And she’s made good on that goal. There are only a few women left who stand in her way. Will the remaining women end up crushed beneath the feet of Rayne as the first B.A.B.E. Champion? Stay tuned!”
-
- “And finally, Lana Sinclair. The woman who helped put B.A.B.E. on the map has lived up to her reputation as B.A.B.E.’s ‘Shining Light.’ Now, she has the chance to become the first B.A.B.E. Champion! She has gone through every single one of her opponents and walked out of the ring with arms held high in victory. But she will be put to the test in this Championship Tournament. Can Lana make it to the end and shine a light on the Championship belt? Will she end the tournament with arms held high once again? We’ll find out soon enough in the coming weeks!”
-
- “There you have it folks! Eight women duking it out to become the first B.A.B.E. Champion. The coins have been flipped and the schedule has been set. In our quarter final rounds, you will see the following matches: 1. Sonja Redding vs. The Jade Fist 2. Ivanna Payne vs. Penelope Primrose 3. Lana Sinclair vs. Vanity Vale 4. Rayne vs. Shani Shakur Are you ready??”
-
- “… soon enough in the coming weeks!”” Lana Sinclair stood in front of the closed-circuit TV in the B.A.B.E. gym, viewing the television special on the B.A.B.E. belt with focused attention. But her attention was broken when someone called out from behind. “Hey champ! Wow… you don’t look dressed up for a fight tonight!”
-
- Lana turned around with a smile to find her old friend, Ashley Powers, standing behind her. “Ashley! Haha! No, I’m not fighting tonight. I’m here just as a spectator and fan, hoping to catch the first championship quarter-final and study my competition.” Ashley looked her up and down. “Well, as always, you’ve got great form! I think you’re going to teach all these girls a hard lesson and walk out of that ring wearing the B.A.B.E. belt around your waist. And I’ll be there cheering you on, every step of the way!”
-
- Lana smiled back at her friend. “It really is too bad you didn’t join B.AB.E. in time for this tournament. You’d give us all a run for our money! But I’ll be in the crowd tonight, cheering you on in your debut B.A.B.E. match!* I can’t wait to see you taking care of business.” *Ashley’s debut match will be in the upcoming “Ashley’s Story.”
-
- Ashley laughed. “Well, I tell you what… when you win that belt, just give me a shot sometime. We’ve sparred together, but it’d be fun to really test each other out.” Lana looked back at her. “You got it, pal! Now you better get ready for tonight. The fans don’t know what they’re in for. You’re gonna knock everyone out tonight! I’d wish you luck, but you don’t need it.”
-
- Ashley smiled as she walked away. “Thanks Lana! Or should I say, soon-to-be B.A.B.E. Champ?” Lana just shook her head as her old friend walked away. She knew she’d be facing some of the strongest women in B.A.B.E. But she was ready. She was ready for this tournament and ready to make B.A.B.E. history. In the meantime, she wanted to catch the rest of the TV special before finding her front-row seat for tonight’s B.A.B.E. card in which the first quarter-final of the B.A.B.E. Championship tournament would take place as the Main Event, not to mention Ashley Powers’ B.A.B.E. debut.* *In the upcoming “Ashley’s Story.”
