One of the most highly anticipated female fights takes place tomorrow as Hartlepool's Savannah Marshall faces Claressa Shields, with the middleweight pair continuing their storied rivalry.
The fight has been postponed for a month following the death of the Queen on September 8, two days before their originally scheduled bout. It has been rescheduled for this Saturday, 15 October and will be the main event of an exciting card. It will be the first time that an all female professional boxing card has taken place in the UK.
Marshall inflicted Shields' only defeat of her entire professional and amateur career back in 2012 and the pair's careers have run parallel. This will be their first professional meeting, with their middleweight unification bout putting Shields' WBA, WBC, IBF, WBF, and The Ring female middleweight titles on the line against Marshall's WBO crown.
