Savannah Marshall has a second chance to become an undisputed champion this weekend.
The ‘Silent Assassin’ had earned a perfect 12-0 record, including 10 KOs, before coming up against long-time rival and undisputed middleweight champion Claressa Shields in October. The Hartlepool boxer lost a unanimous decision but has been given the opportunity to fight for undisputed status at super middleweight against Franchon Crews-Dezurn.
Initially on the undercard for the postponed Liam Smith and Chris Eubank Jr rematch, Marshall’s latest bid for greatness has been given top billing. On the undercard, Natasha Jonas is aiming to become a two-weight world champion as she fights for the iBF welterweight title against Kandi Wyatt and is joined by rising prospect Zak Chelli and Olympic medalist Ben Whittaker.
