Savannah Marshall: record, next fight and profile →
Savannah Marshall, Britain's first ever female amateur World Champion, has signed a promotional deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing. The undefeated Hartlepool sensation, trained by Peter Fury, has cruised to six straight wins since announcing herself in the professional ranks on the blockbuster Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor bill at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in 2017.
Victoria Warehouse, Trafford Road, Manchester - In a heavyweight clash, world title challenger Hughie Fury (22-2, 12 KOs) had no issued with demolishing previously undefeated Chris Norrad (17-1, 8 KOs) in two rounds.
The 27 year old ‘Silent Assassin’ remains the only boxer to have inflicted a ring defeat on US golden girl Claressa Shields – current custodian of all four major world middleweight belts – in the dual Olympic champion’s 87 bout career.
Esteemed trainer Peter Fury predicts that quiet girl Savannah Marshall is destined to make an almighty racket in the fight game over the next 12 months. The 29 year old super-middleweight – dubbed ‘The Silent Assassin’ due to her innate shyness – kickstarts her 2019 campaign at Manchester’s Victoria Warehouse on Saturday 25th May, exclusively live on free-to-air Channel 5, and fight professor Peter expects it to be the start of a year in which the massively talented Hartlepool hope finally soars to stardom.
Savannah Marshall continued her rise in the ranks of the sport with yet another win. The Hartlepool super-middleweight was in action on Friday at Manchester’s Victoria Warehouse, exclusively live on iFL TV. Marshall, 27, is the current WBA Inter-Continental champion, having won the vacant belt out in Bulgaria two weeks ago against Yanina Orozco over 10 rounds.
Hughie Fury’s bid to fight for a world title suffered a setback this evening with a points loss against Kubrat Pulev at Armeec Arena in Sofia, Bulgaria.
