FLINT, Mich. — Two-time Olympic gold medalist Claressa Shields needs no introduction.
On Sept. 10, she will travel to London to face Savannah Marshall in what is billed as the biggest women’s boxing event of all time. Both Shields and Marshall enter the O2 Arena sporting 12-0 records, with the winner stamped as the face of women’s boxing.
The IBF, WBC, WBA, WBO and WBF titles will be on the line. In 2012, while amateurs, Marshall became the only fighter to defeat Shields.
