In the UK, the event will air live on Sky Sports and on the broadcaster’s website and Sky Go app. The main card is scheduled to begin at 7pm BST (11am PT, 1pm CT, 2pm ET), with ring walks for the main event due at approximately 10pm BST (2pm PT, 4pm CT, 5pm ET). The fight will take place on Saturday 1 July at the AO Arena in Manchester.
The event marks another big night in women’s boxing, with Natasha Jonas also in action and seeking to become a two-weight world champion. Marshall will take encouragement from an amateur victory over Crews-Dezurn, whom she outpointed in 2011. Now, the Hartlepool fighter takes on another American in Crews-Dezurn, who will put all four of her super-middleweight belts on the line against Marshall in Manchester. Marshall was unbeaten until she suffered a decision loss to Claressa Shields last year, a result that saw the Briton lose her WBO middleweight title as Shields became undisputed in the division. Savannah Marshall will bid to reclaim her status as a world champion this weekend, as the former middleweight title holder moves up a division to challenge Franchon Crews-Dezurn for her undisputed belts.
