Historic boxing event Katie Taylor previously warned against 'could be as big as Amanda Serrano fight'

History will be made this weekend when an all-female boxing event will be staged at the O2 Arena in London.

The highly exciting card will be headlined by the undisputed middleweight world title fight between England's Savannah Marshall and American Claressa Shields, while WBO and IBF super-featherweight champion Mikaela Mayer faces WBC champion Alycia Baumgardner in a unification fight.

There are 11 fights in total scheduled for the night and the event, which is being staged by Boxxer, comes at a hugely exciting time for women's boxing on the back of Katie Taylor's Madison Square Garden win over Amanda Serrano earlier this year.
