Savannah Marshall: Briton beats Franchon Crews-Dezurn to win undisputed super-middleweight title
Savannah Marshall is the second English fighter, after Chantelle Cameron, to win an undisputed championship in the four-belt era
With American Shields in attendance and a vocal presence at ringside, Marshall said: "Thanks for coming over, let's get it on at super-middleweight."Marshall overcomes tough Crews-Dezurn challenge The early rounds were tough to score. Crews-Dezurn fell to the canvas in the third, the referee correctly ruling it a slip. Marshall was pushed to the floor in the following round. There was a lot of clinching and neither boxer was able to settle into their rhythm.
Marshall was fighting in back-to-back undisputed bouts after losing to Claressa Shields at middleweight in October Despite the convincing manner of Shields' victory eight months ago, promoter Shalom said a rematch makes sense for both fighters. There are no bigger pay days for either of them.
