BOXXER chartered a boat to take their bitter rivals Savannah Marshall and Claressa Shields, plus a host of British media, down the River Thames for open training and showdowns in the shadow of the iconic London Tower Bridge. They collide Saturday on ESPN+.

Savannah Marshall: “She’s said a lot about me, but it doesn’t bother me, it doesn’t bother me. I don’t care what she thinks about anything, she’s not one of my friends or family, so her opinion means nothing to me. We’ll talk in the ring on Saturday night: I’ll take her to deep water and drown her in the Thames.”

Claressa Shields: “I have always said that women’s boxing can sell and that I was the one. It’s almost sold out, there will be almost 20,000 fans at the O2 Arena and I’ve been training to the bone. I want all the smoke and when I leave the ring on Saturday night, Savannah Marshall will be silenced and I will be the undisputed middleweight champion of the world.”

The matchup between Shields and Marshall first appeared on fightnews.com.
