Savannah Marshall vs Claressa Shields fight date: when is boxing match, ticket details, how to watch on TV?

Shields-Marshall has been officially rescheduled after it was postponed and the boxers will make their final preparations as they headline the first televised all-women’s professional boxing card in Britain.

Their bout is set to unify all four of the major world titles with Hartlepool’s Savannah Marshall holding the WBO belt and Michigan’s Claressa Shields holding the WBA, IBF and WBC titles.

Shields is undoubtedly one of the best in the business, previously being the undisputed ruler in the middleweight and super-welterweight divisions as well as winning super-middleweight belts in her early career.

The American also has two Olympic gold medals to her name, winning at both London 2012 and Rio 2016. However, Marshall is the only boxer to have ever beaten the 27-year-old, defeating her at the amateur World Championships in China 10 years ago. The two never fought again, until now.

Ahead of the bout, Marshall has spoken of the emotional rollercoaster she has been on due to the postponement of the fight: “I went to Buckingham Palace with my sister and my friend, we went to go and pay respects. It was just totally out of everybody’s hands.

“I had a week off, and I needed it. More mentally. All the emotion of fight week, the fight actually getting cancelled, so I felt emotionally drained and I didn’t get out of bed for a couple of days after, so I really needed that week to just kind of forget about boxing.”

However, Marshall is ready for her bout and has said: “I can’t allow myself to overlook this fight, to overlook Claressa. Even if there’s a rematch, I’ll never get a fight as big as this, ever.

“There is no rematch clause. She says there is, but there is no rematch clause. For me, I get one roll of the dice. And ti’s all or nothing.”
