Speaking exclusively to talkSPORT Savannah Marshall explains why she has made the switch from boxing to MMA and the similarities and differences between the sports.
unanimous decision defeat Marshall has decided to follow her bitter rival to a new sport and will make her debut against 1-2 fighter Mirela Vargasat at PFL Europe 2 in Newcastle on June 8.
However, the 33-year-old insists that the only reason she decided to try out MMA was the promise of another fight with Shields.Royalty, rising stars, and fat cheques: PFL ends biggest year yet with epic show in Dublin "There isn’t really a lot of options left for me in boxing. Obviously, there’s the rematch with Claressa that never came off and apart from that there’s not that many girls.“If the PFL would’ve come to me and said, ‘Savannah, are you interested in doing a bit of MMA and joining our league?’ I would’ve said, ‘No way. I’m not coming up against those girls who are black belts and have been wrestling since school.
“Instead, they come and said, ‘Look, would you be interested in a potential fight with Claressa in the cage’. I was like, ‘Yeah, I’ll sign’. That’s the goal for me.
"Wherever they say,” Marshall added when asked about a potential location for her rematch with Shields.
