Following the death of Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II, the fight between Claressa Shields and Savannah Marshall has been rescheduled out of respect to recent events.
The fight was due to take place at the O2 Arena on Satuday night, but has been rescheduled provisionally for October 15 following the news of the passing of the monarch's passing at her Balmoral estate on Thursday. The delay is in line with the postponement of this weekend's Premier League fixtures.
The fight was to determine who would become the undisputed middleweight champion, with Shields placing her WBA, WBC, IBF, WBF, and The Ring female titles on the line up against Marshall's WBO crown. However, the pair will have to wait to go face to face following recent events.
