Savannah Marshall believes Claressa Shields is out of order for bringing race into their world title clash.
Marshall, 31, fights Shields on Saturday for the undisputed middleweight titles in the first-ever all-female card in boxing history. The rivals' history dates back to a decade ago when Marshall handed Shields the only loss on her otherwise pristine record.
The pair have been going back and forth since the fight was announce with Marshall largely unbothered by Shields’ goading attempts, but she had now claimed comments she made about race were a step too far. “The only thing is, and it’s not really gotten under my skin, but she’s mentioned race a couple of times,” Marshall told reporters.
