[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

If Claressa Shields gets through her next mixed martial arts match unscathed late in August, she is expected to return to a boxing ring sometime in the fall. Her promoter, Dmitriy Salita, has discussed two primary options with the undisputed 154-pound champion for her 12th professional fight.

I would think it better to focus solely on boxing if you intend on fighting Marshall. I'm no expert though but I wonder if the MMA training will affect her negatively in a boxing ring.

Glad she's going to continue in both sports

Shields is a feather fisted loud mouth. The women she fights are absolute jokes on the grand scale of boxers. Women’s boxing is absolutely brutal to watch. Women are not physically or psychologically meant for combat.

McCasskill is overrated as hell...

now Savannah Marshall I would like to see that fight, they have a lil bad blood and have history with Marshall having that Amatuer win over Shields.

I'd prefer if Shields stay a while in MMA and build her profile. She's constantly b!tching about how she's being underpaid, so she might as well push this MMA thing as far as she can.

so who should she fight?

Marshall started her career in the States under Floyd and doesn't seem keen to go back I think she wasted a lot of time there, she can't build her profile in a fight or two.

Eddie originally offered Shields a two fight deal one UK one US .. Marshall should be able to pull a decent crowd in at the Metro Arena for Shields you can sell a womens boxing match in the UK if you put the right faces on it should be bigger than anything Shields has managed in boxing.

It's more than a little bad blood.... More like Marshall is totally consuming Shields mind and has been for years... That's probably why Marshall will KO Shields when she tries to out power Marshall and go out of her plan... Hurry Up ! Someone needs to shut the ****** Diva up before it's too late...

So, a huge payday, and now Savanna has to fight in the US to build up the fight. Got it. Haha.

Her trainer Peter Fury can't travel out to the US because of previous convictions. However, the fight belongs in the UK with a proper crowd and not one with a few thousand like in the US. MatchRoom are putting up the money, they decide where it's going to be put on. Not you.
