Claressa Shields’ return to the boxing ring has a new date.
The multi-time boxing champion and PFL fighter is set to take on Savannah Marshall on Oct. 15 in a women’s middleweight title unification bout at The O2 in London. The news was announced by the promotion on Tuesday afternoon.
Both Shields and Marshall were originally scheduled to fight on Sept. 10, but the event was postponed after the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The decision was made by the British Boxing Board of Control out of respect for the passing of the Queen.
