Savannah Marshall-Claressa Undisputed Battle Shield Delayed
Any possibility of Claressa Shields and Savannah Marshall fighting in July is over.
Both women attended each of their last world title defenses and after a verbal exchange and a confrontation is underway. Ben Shalom, who was tasked with organizing the super battle, said it had to be delayed.
“Savannah The Boxxer advertiser told her it was a minor surgery. Sports sky.
“That means, obviously, July is too early, which means we will only be back four or five weeks.
“Hopefully Claressa will be reasonable and accept that they both need to be healthy and ready for the biggest battle of their careers and one of the biggest battles in sport.”
Claressa Shields’ supporter Dmitry Salita says his warriors are ready for battle and all they need is confirmation.
“Shields vs Marshall is a big battle and a major sporting event that can elevate women’s sport. I certainly hope the war can be over.
“Claressa is ready, all confirmed from our side, the ball is on Savannah’s court, and we are waiting for confirmation from her team.”
