The league is currently undergoing some major additions to its fighter list as it looks to induct more female fighters in the realm of MMA. This time, in a shocking development, the boxer to sign with PFL is the British fighter, Savana Marshall.

Earlier, two of the biggest names in boxing Amanda Serrano and Claressa Shields were also roped in to fight under the PFL. However, the newest addition of Marshall opens up the pandora’s box of who will fight against whom?

But then, fans have also begun speculating a clash between ‘Silent Assasin’ and the Latino fighter Serrano. The latter had earlier stated that she awaited a befitting opponent against whom she can make her MMA debut.
