BBC to re-air Claressa Shields vs Savannah Marshall fight tonight after record viewing figures

British fight fans will be able to relive Saturday's blockbuster female world title fight between Claressa Shields and Savannah Marshall on freeview TV this evening. BBC Three will broadcast their historic fight to millions of households this evening at 10:30pm after setting record viewing figures on Sky Sports on Saturday.

American superstar and two-time Olympic Gold medallist, Shields, became the first fighter in history to be crowned an undisputed champion on three different occasions, by defeating Hartlepool's Marshall with a unanimous points victory, in front of a sold-out arena at The O2.

The record-breaking event in London saw over two million viewers tune in on Sky, making it the biggest audience for a live women’s sport event ever on Sky and the second most-watched non-PPV boxing event on Sky since 2014.
