The undisputed middleweight championship fight between Claressa Shields and Savannah Marshall has been postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in Scotland on Thursday.
The bout, which was scheduled for Saturday at the O2 Arena in London, has been provisionally rescheduled for Oct. 15. The unification junior lightweight title fight between Mikaela Mayer and Alycia Baumgardner, which was also on the main card, will also be moved.
“The British Boxing Board of Control have decided that all tournaments this weekend will be postponed as a mark of respect to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth,” the sporting body said in a statement Friday.
