Claressa Shields and Savannah Marshal finally make it to the ring to settle their differences and unify a division tonight, after years of back-and-forth rivalry and a month after the death of Queen Elizabeth scuppered the original fight night. The main event in London comes loaded with both personal and boxing significance, and is supported by a good all-women’s card.
Shields (12-0-0, 2 KOs) comes into it with the amateur prestige, most of the belts, and much more high-level pro experience. Marshall (12-0-0, 10 KOs) has the knockout power and a win over Shields back in their amateur days.
