Savannah Marshall gets to relive the biggest week of her life all over again.
That is how the WBO champion feels at the start of fight week, after her undisputed title clash with arch-rival Claressa Shields was rescheduled for this Saturday (October 15).
Marshall has been on an emotional rollercoaster to reach this point. She heard the news of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II only the evening before she was due to weigh in for the original fight date. Marshall had prepared for almost everything, but not for this.

Making the weight is taxing enough for a big middleweight, but at once Marshall had realised the fight itself was in doubt.
“It was in the back of my mind,” Marshall said. “I think subconsciously I accepted it then.”
