Comments Thread For: Shields On Marshall Rematch: Fight Won't Be In UK - But Yes, I Accept Her Challenge

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Claressa Shields is prepared to run it back with Savannah Marshall, though with some say on who gets to host the sequel. England's Marshall confirmed to Sky Sports that she has activated a rematch clause. The move was executed two months after their memorable October 15 undisputed middleweight championship clash won by Shields via unanimous decision at The O2 in London.

Marshall would have to leave her current promoter Boxxer in the rematch, albeit temporarily for the US fight. Never seen Boxxer held a fight in America.

Kind of silly when Shields can't sell a fight in the US. She needs the UK fans to turn out for a UK fighter.

Yes, let's get the rematch. If she wants to fight again, you have to chase the champ. Take it or leave it I guess. Hopefully Marshall is willing!

Not good to hear but true. Women's boxing in America will never elevate to anything but prelim undercards. They need to add a salivating co-feature for the fight, at least.

They sell in UK because they have no good male fighters, and ticket prices are dirt-cheap.

Female boxing, basketball, hockey, soccer or any other masculine dominated sport doesn't sell in America because we will only accept the highest form if anything.

One of the very few female fights I watched, there is no reason for a rematch as there was clearly only one winner, who emphatically has her opponents number.

Good call Shields!

She will fight again in the UK.

They always follow the cash.
