Middleweight unification bout between Claressa Shields (12-0, 2 KOs) and Savannah Marshall (12-0, 10 KOs) has been officially postponed to October 15 and will be held in London. The fight was originally scheduled for September 10th.

The date change was due to mourning in Great Britain in connection with the death of Queen Elizabeth II. At stake in the meeting will be IBF, WBA, WBO and WBC champion titles.

Initially, the evening was scheduled for the second half of June. Within the framework of the same event, a unification fight in the second featherweight for the WBO, WBC and IBF belts between Michaela Mayer and Alice Baumgardner will also take place.
