Claressa Shields and Savannah Marshall are finally going to settle their bitter rivalry in the ring, following a highly intense exchange earlier. Ahead of their September 10 contest, at the O2 Arena in London, the duo faced off each other in the weigh-in event. The presence of a highly decorated female pugilist on the same stage created a tense environment. Guess what it would be when they face each other with leather on their hands.
Sky Sports Boxing shared a post on social media informing about the first ever all-female card in the UK.

The highly anticipated bout will decide the real champion, who will take all marbles of the middleweight division. This will include the WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO, and Ring Magazine titles.
The self-proclaimed ‘GWOAT’ has faced only one defeat in her career. That to Marshall back in 2012. Apart from that, her resume stands above Marshall’s. In the Olympics, where Marshall could not go beyond the initial rounds, Shield won two medals. She is also an undisputed champion in two-weight classes whereas Marshall has won only one world title. But she is undefeated in her professional career, so undoubtedly the bout is going to be a spectacular one.
As soon as the poster of Shields facing Marshall came on Internet, it caught the attention of the fans. They poured their remarks.
