As is often the case with disgruntled fighters these days, Savannah Marshall today decided to air her dirty laundry on social media in an effort to explain why she will no longer be appearing on the Boxxer card at the Royal Albert Hall on March 7.
Originally scheduled to box on that date, Marshall, 13-1 (10), has since learned that she will be doing something else that night.
She wrote on social media: "I was told I was fighting on the March 7th on the all-female card for Boxxer. Opponent agreed I have been in camp for the past few weeks. I was also asked to travel to London for the press conference where I was told my fight would be announced. Instead I was sidelined and left feeling humiliated and confused. I honestly thought I would have been treated with a bit more respect. Due to disputes with Boxxer I WILL NOT be fighting on March 7th."
David Benavidez vs Andy Ruiz Jr?! Jose Benavidez Sr. REVEALS Huge Fight Plans
David Benavidez has no shortage of HUGE fights on his radar. In an exclusive interview with BoxingScene, Jose Benavidez Sr. makes it clear that David still wants the biggest names at 175lbs including Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev. Benavidez has previously said those are two fights he wants to make as he pursues more titles and major challenges. But there’s another name that could make things very interesting: Andy Ruiz Jr. Jose discusses the possibility of an all-Mexican showdown between Benavidez and the former heavyweight champion, along with David’s plans across multiple divisions. And with a potential Jai Opetaia showdown also building after the pair came face-to-face following Opetaia’s latest victory, Benavidez has some massive options ahead.
Blighted by inactivity, Marshall’s last boxing match was against Franchon Crews Dezurn back in July 2023 and it has now been over two years since she lost to Claressa Shields at London’s O2 Arena. She has more recently flirted with the idea of pursuing a career in mixed martial arts and even made her MMA debut last June, when stopping Mirela Vargas in the first round at PFL Europe in Newcastle.
For their part, Boxxer said they could not reach a deal with her management team and they hope to work with the fighter again.
"We made Savannah Marshall an offer to fight on March 7th but were unable to reach an agreement with her management. We’ve always had a great working relationship with Savannah, we’ve shared some incredible experiences, and we hope to work together again in the future."
