A fierce decade-long rivalry, USA vs UK, Unbeaten vs unbeaten. It's time for Claressa Shields vs Savannah Marshall.
After the postponemnt of the original date of September 10th due to the death of the Queen, an historic night of boxing arrives at the world famous O2 Arena, in the heart of London. Saturday night sees the first ever all female card take place and set alight the capital.
Following on from the mega fight that took place in New York earlier in the year between Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor, we move to the middleweight division and see a huge undisputed clash that has a rivalry that stretches back to their amateur days.
Marshall is the only fighter to ever defeat Shields in either the amateur or professional ranks.
The fight is being named a typical 'Boxer vs Puncher' fight, as Marshall is known for her brutal power that she has used to stop 10 of her 12 opponents to date.
"I've been undisputed twice, this will be the third time for me. I've already been undisputed at 160lbs before. It means a lot to be undisputed. But it means more to avenge my only loss" Shields said. [Sky Sports Boxing]
“I’ve knocked out people you went 10 rounds with. I’m not just going to beat you. I’m going to hurt you and outbox you. That’s all you need to know. I’m a better fighter. I’ll have all her world titles on September 10."
In the co-main, a fight worthy of a headline slot, Mikaela Mayer (17-0 5 KOs) faces bitter rival Alycia Baumgardner (12-1 7 KOs) with the IBF, WBC and WBA world titles on the line.
Baumgardner holds just one career loss to date, since then she has built up momentum and won six consecutive fights picking up WBC and IBO world titles. The American stunned Terri Harper late last year to snatch the world title in just 4 rounds and ever since that victory, she was very vocal about wanting to fight Mayer.
Olympic gold medalist, Lauren Price (1-0), looks to carry on her progress in the professional ranks after her succesful debut in June as she takes on Timea Belik (6-6).
One of the most promising female fighters from the UK shores and fellow Olympian, Caroline Dubois (3-0 2 KOs), takes to the ring for the fourth time this year when she fights Milena Koleva (10-14-1).
Kariss Artingstall, Ebonie Jones and April Hunter also join the all female card at the O2 Arena.
