Claressa Shields and Savannah Marshall’s undisputed title fight has been officially rescheduled for October 15 after being postponed following the death of The Queen.
Shields vs Marshall was originally due to take place on Saturday September 10 as the headline fight on a historic all-female card, but the long-awaited grudge match now has a new date at The O2.
The British Boxing Board of Control made the decision to push the bout back in line with the postponement of other sporting events and leagues as the country began a period of mourning.
The undercard remains unchanged ahead of the new date, with Mikaela Mayer and Alycia Baumgardner set to fight for the WBC, WBO and IBF super-featherweight titles.
All tickets purchased for the original September date remain valid for the new October 15 date – existing ticket holders do not need to obtain new tickets.
