Shocking new craze sees women ‘catfighting’ in their underwear for £300 a night

Scantily-clad competitors pull each other's hair, slap their opponents with full force, and pin them to the ground in the ferocious match-ups

WOMEN have been stripping off and brawling in their bikinis for paying fans as part of a shocking new trend.

Female "catfighters" in Northern Ireland can earn up to £150 in return for donning their finest lingerie and taking on a fellow fighter - and nothing is off limits.

Scantily-clad competitors pull each other's hair, slap their opponents with full force, and pin them to the ground in the ferocious match-ups, with men willing to fork out to watch the bikini brawlers in action.

Victorious fighters can earn as much as £300 for a win, as they slap and scratch their opponents at secret locations around the country.

Organisers deny that viewers get a sexual kick from the catfights, although dozens of shots posted on social media depict combatants in their underwear, with fighters sometimes tearing the clothes from their opponents' backs.

And the pre-arranged bouts, which feature fights between close friends as well as complete strangers, are often filmed and then uploaded to fighting websites or sold on DVDs for as much as £11.

Meanwhile, paying clients can fork out to arrange a private fight, with appeals for willing combatants on Facebook attracting a lot of interest from women looking to earn some easy money.

John Thompson, a local organiser, uses social media to search for women willing to take part in the no-holds-barred brawls.

He claims his Facebook profile, which lists his work as "UK Catfights", is "an experiment to see how a catfighting company would be received" in Northern Ireland.

He added: "Surprisingly, there were quite a few girls willing to give it a go."

Female fighters, who have it out in homes, sheds or even outdoors, also take to social media to taunt each other before a match-up.

One fighter, Chantelle Mullan, from Belfast, vowed to rip her opponent’s head off in an expletive-filled outburst before a high-profile brawl.

But other Facebook users are less than impressed with violent scenes from the underground catfight venues.

One commenter said: "When I looked at some of the websites these videos are being sold to it is obvious to me that these young women are being lured into taking part in pornographic matches.

"It’s absolutely scandalous."
