The Undisputed Female Middleweight Title fight between Claressa Shields and Savannah Marshall will be officially announced on Tuesday.
ESPN have reported that it will take place on September 10 at London’s O2 Arena. They also revealed the Unified Female Super Featherweight clash between Mikaela Mayer (IBF, WBO champion) and Alycia Baumgardner (WBC champion) will be on the same card.
Mayer had announced the fight on social media six weeks ago, but no date or location had been confirmed.
The televised action will be shown on Sky Sports in the UK with speculation that it may well land on their Box Office pay-per-view platform.
‘Further major announcements will be made at the press conference revealing details of an historic undercard which is a first in British Boxing history,’ it said in the Boxxer press release. A clear hint the September 10 show will be an all-female event.
Boxxer CEO Ben Shalom had hoped to announce the grudge match between Shields (WBC, WBA, and IBF champion) and Marshall (WBO champion) back in April. However, the marquee fight has ran into some teething problems but now we are just 48 hours from it being made official.
