Saturday, September 10 – The O2 Arena, London, England
Claressa Shields vs. Savannah Marshall – women’s middleweight – 10 rounds
Clearly fight of the week (as the main event of a historic all-female card), likely a Fight of the Year candidate and one of the most anticipated women’s boxing matchups in history thus far. Marshall is the only woman to beat the reigning Ring Shields champion (as an amateur, and a long time ago) and she remains a thorn in the side of Shields. The grudge match was bound to happen.
What to expect in this fight: The eyes of the entire world will be on them, and they will be spared. Expect a war, complete with blood, cuts, profanity, and canvas hits.
Mikaela Mayer vs. Alycia Baumgardner – women’s junior lightweight – 10 rounds
In terms of pure boxing action and excitement, this one has the potential to match or even surpass Shields-Marshall or any other women’s fight in recent memory, for that matter. Mayer’s unification fight against Maiva Hamadouche was a FOTY candidate regardless of gender, and the bad blood with Baumgardner is very real. It should be a war.
What to expect in this fight: Mayer is the slight favorite to retain her inaugural junior lightweight title in the Ring, but don’t bet your rental money on her just yet. This could be very, very close.
