Marshall vs Hermans LIVE! Boxing result, fight stream and reaction after sensational knockout

Marshall vs Hermans - LIVE!

Savannah Marshall defended her WBO middleweight title against Femke Hermans in Newcastle and attention will now turn to an undisputed showdown with Claressa Shields.

It was the 30-year-old’s third defence of her title, wbich she won in October 2020 with a seventh-round stoppage victory over Hannah Rankin, and she has not been taken past the third round since.

It sets up a massive undisputed fight against Claressa Shields, holder of the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBF and The Ring titles.

Shields defended those belts in Cardiff in February, when she then got into a heated confrontation with Marshall after the fight. Marshall is the only fighter to ever beat the American, back in the amateur World Championships in 2012, and a clash between the pair is now set to take place in the summer.

Florian Marku defended his IBF International welterweight title earlier in the night with a fourth-round stoppage of Chris Jenkins, while Brad Rea extended his record to 13-0 with a comfortable points victory and Zak Chelli got a sixth-round stoppage.
