Claressa Shields has accused Savannah Marshall of faking an injury after their undisputed title fight was delayed.
Marshall and Shields have been trading verbal jabs on social media ahead of a battle for all the marbles at middleweight. The pair were set to finally lace up their gloves and settle their rivalry in July, but Marshall required surgery on an undisclosed arm injury which put the fight on hold.
Shields has hit out at Marshall in a series of bizarre tweets questioning why her rival was not wearing a cast. She first tweeted: “You all talking bout Marshmallow had surgery on her arm. Where the f*** is the arm sleeve, the cast, SOMETHING! This bum is faking an arm injury! It don’t even matter! I'm f***ing her up! All of you Marshall fans gonna be silent! Forever!"
