Savannah Marshall v Claressa Shields rematch could be held at St James' Park

Hartlepool middleweight Savannah Marshall hopes to bring her proposed rematch with undisputed champion Claressa Shields to her native north east in the summer of 2023.

The first fight took place in front of a huge crowd at the O2 Arena in London.

"I have got a rematch, and there's talk of having it at Newcastle's St James' Park," Marshall told BBC Radio Tees.

"The television company is really pushing it, so that's something to look forward to."

Shields' victory cemented her legacy as one of the best fighters in the world, extending her unbeaten record as a professional to 13-0.
