Comments Thread For: Shields Demands Marshall Bout Take Place at O2 or Wembley Out of Concern for Bias in Newcastle

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Claressa Shields is not too enamored with the idea of unifying her middleweight titles in her opponent's backyard. Shields, the WBC, WBA, and IBF women's middleweight champion, is on a collision course to face WBO middleweight titlist Savannah Marshall in a full unification bout this summer on Sky Sports, which has both fighters under exclusive contract through its association with promoter Boxxer.

Weird roadblock to throw up at this stage. Seemed the fight was set but goalposts being moved now.

Shields is literally s***ting her pants, she knows she is gonna get slept and is now gonna price and demand her way out and go back to fighting soccer mom's in the US and proclaim herself GWOAT

Shields went on and on about the money, now she has the money she wants to change the venue ...

Marshall can sell in her hometown but Shields can't sell anywhere, if Shields wants an empty venue take a pay cut.

oh dear, well thats usually how things work, if u want a neutral venue go to some other country lol, go to some sottish island and do it there, u need fans to fill the stadium duh

Lol Wembley? The only way she's fighting at Wembley is on someone else's undercard.

I thought she planned on KOing Marshall.

check the saudi's, they may be interested but u would have to cover up head to toe, any issues?

Eubank - Brook / Marshall - Shields co-main event at O2 sounds reasonable. At the risk of upsetting the locals, the fight may be too big for the Newcastle Arena anyway (11,000, I dunno maybe not). They could stick that bill on PPV from O2 and then everybody eats. Get Okolie in with a blow-over world title fight it soon stacks up promotional wise.
