It was announced today that IBF, WBA, and WBO Super Middleweight Boxing World Champion, Savannah Marshall’s MMA debut will take place at Women’s Lightweight on June 8th. Marshall signed for the PFL last year and her debut has been long overdue.
One of the most exciting storylines for the debut of Marshall is that she has a long and storied history with fellow boxing world champion and fellow PFL star, Claressa Shields and with a win, the two women could meet in the octagon and not the ring. The two women have already met in the boxing ring twice, with Marshall defeating Sheilds in the amateur ranks and the American getting the better of the Brit in the pro game.
