According to promoter Ben Shalom, the victor of the fight will become the biggest star in women’s boxing. 

Claressa Shields vs Savannah Marshall was originally scheduled to take place on September 10.

However, Queen Elizabeth II’s death resulted in the match’s postponement. In honour of that, a new belt has been created for the event that will take place this weekend. 

Savannah Marshall and her opponent Claressa Shields have had a long-standing beef, which will finally be settled this coming weekend. 

Who Is The Better Fighter Between Claressa Shields And Savannah Marshall? 

Savannah Marshall remains to be the only fighter who has defeated Claressa Shields. Marshall defeated the American boxer in the opening stages of the amateur world championships more than ten years ago. 

Claressa Shields described the defeat as the most painful loss in her boxing career. However, she has the chance to take her revenge this weekend in London during the Claressa Shields vs Savannah Marshall fight. 

Claressa Shields calls herself the greatest woman of all time (GWOAT), having held multiple world championships in three weight classes. 

The 27-year-old American has claimed that she will win the Claressa Shields vs Savannah Marshall fight via knockout. 

Claressa Shields intends to show the world that she is the GOAT in women’s boxing. According to the two-time undisputed world champion, Savannah Marshall is not skilled and will not be able to handle her shots. 

“I knew I was going to beat Savannah Marshall on September 10, but now I really feel in my spirit that I am going to knock Savannah Marshall out. This is going to be my statement fight. She talked all that stuff about pillow fists, but she’s not going to stand there and fight me. She’s not going to be able to handle my shots. She can’t outbox me. She’s not very skilled.”

Shields also compared herself to Muhammad Ali, saying that she is the female version of the legendary boxer. 

Shields reminded the world that she won two Olympic gold medals and twelve world titles in three different divisions. 

According to the American boxer, anyone who says that she is a self-proclaimed GOAT is being self-stupid. Claressa Shields said that anyone who respects women’s boxing knows that she is at the top. 

BoxRec ranks Claressa Shields as the world’s best active female middleweight. ESPN and Ring rank her as the second-best active female boxer, pound for pound.
