Darva Conger issued a pre-recorded open challenge press release for the media to air on national television. As always Darva was starving to be in the limelight and to keep her name in everyone’s minds. She wanted to milk her Celebrity Boxing gig for all it was worth and establish a name for herself as a top female celebrity boxer.
“I have decided to sign on for another installment of Celebrity Boxing to be aired in July of 2002. If any of you Hollywood bimbos think you can take down Darva Conger...bring it! But be ready to get your ass beaten and be humiliated on national television.” Then she blew a kiss into the camera and the video went off.
The networks and the media got quite a kick out of her public statement. But it just so happened that it created the media frenzy she was looking for. Everyone was anxious to see who her opponent would be. The next thing Darva knew....the CEO of Fox Networks gave her a call on a Saturday afternoon.
“Darva Dear...we have found an opponent for you....”
Bridgette Nielson was getting old and wasn’t garnering the same attention she did in her ‘Red Sonja’ and ‘Beverly Hills Cop’ days. She was taking roles in B movies and making an occasional media appearance but she couldn’t seem to create a good buzz in Hollywood anymore. She was sitting with a couple of her friends and was flipping through the TV stations and saw Darva issuing a challenge to all of the Hollywood ladies. Bridgette couldn’t believe the nerve of this little girl. She quickly called FOX and arranged to sign on the dotted line.
FIGHT NIGHT
Pre-match interview with Bridgette Nielson.
Announcer: “What motivated you to participate in Celebrity Boxing?”
Bridgette: “Well I saw the last installment of celebrity boxing and found it rather amusing. I never thought in a million years that I’d be participating, but after Darva Conger’s press release... Well, I couldn’t get over how cocky she is! The little bitch really thinks she’s tough!! Look at me, well over 6 feet and my strength and reach is much better than hers. I’m going to put her down and teach her a lesson she’ll never forget. She doesn’t stand a chance.”
Announcer: “Well you have it folks, some Stinging words from Bridgette Nielson. I wouldn’t want to be in Darva Conger’s Prada pumps tonight.”

I was hoping for someone a little closer to my age or even younger but...whatever - I’m an equal opportunity ass kicker. The only thing that’ll be red on Red Sonya will be her fat ass cheeks after I give her the beating of a lifetime!!”
