Savannah Marshall

Savannah Rose Marshall is a British professional boxer born on May 19, 1991, in Hartlepool, County Durham, England. She has earned the nickname "Silent Assassin" due to her shyness and remarkable knockout wins. Marshall began her professional boxing career on August 26, 2017, defeating Sydney LeBlanc via a 4-round unanimous decision. Since then, she has fought a total of 13 fights, winning 12 of those bouts and losing just one. Marshall holds an impressive record of 10 wins by knockout.

Marshall has accomplished many notable achievements throughout her boxing career. On October 31, 2020, when she was 29 years old and had fought in just eight professional bouts, Marshall had her first world title fight against Hannah Rankin, where she won the vacant WBO middleweight title by defeating Rankin via 7th round TKO, becoming the middleweight champion of the world. She has since made three title defenses, including an impressive victory against Maria Lindberg, winning the fight via 3rd round KO, and defeating Lolita Muzeya in two rounds via TKO. Marshall also holds an Inter-Continental super-middleweight title.

In her most recent fight held on October 15, 2022, at the O2 Arena in London, Marshall faced off against American boxer Claressa Shields for the middleweight undisputed championship title. Shields emerged as the victor, defeating Marshall via 10 round unanimous decision with two judges scoring the fight 97–93 and one scoring it 96–94. With this loss, Marshall lost her WBO title and now has a 12-1 professional boxing record, including one world title win. Despite this recent loss, Marshall is currently ranked as the world's second-best active female middleweight by BoxRec and by The Ring.

Marshall's boxing skills and achievements have attracted a lot of attention, including that of legendary boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. During his press conference held on May 18, 2017, to promote the IBF junior-lightweight title defense of Gervonta Davis against former British champion Liam Walsh, Mayweather announced that he had signed Marshall to a professional promotional contract. Marshall made her professional boxing debut at super-middleweight on the undercard of The Money Fight on August 26, 2017, in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the professional boxing super-fight between undefeated five-division champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. and former UFC Lightweight Champion and Featherweight Champion Conor McGregor. She defeated Sydney LeBlanc by unanimous decision 40–36 in a four-round bout. Soon after, Marshall decided to split from Mayweather Promotions but was able to link up with Hennessey Sport, going back to training with Peter Fury, the uncle of Tyson Fury, who had previously trained her leading up to her first professional fight in Las Vegas.

Marshall first gained attention as an amateur boxer. In 2012, she secured gold at the World Championships, becoming the first female British world champion. Throughout her amateur career, Marshall displayed incredible talent and skill, which later paved the way for her professional boxing career.

In an unfortunate turn of events, Marshall suffered her first loss as a professional against Claressa Shields, which ended her incredible 12-fight undefeated streak. Despite her loss, Marshall has displayed excellent boxing skills and has a promising future ahead of her. She recently announced that she is ready to train harder and come back stronger in her fights ahead.

Marshall has many significant career highlights, including being a world champion, and she has made the UK proud through her remarkable achievements in boxing. With just 13 fights under her belt, she has already made a name for herself in professional boxing and shown that she is a force to be reckoned with in the ring.

In conclusion, Savannah Rose Marshall is a talented and accomplished British professional boxer known for her impressive record of knockout wins and remarkable achievements throughout her professional boxing career. Despite her most recent loss, Marshall continues to be highly regarded in the boxing world and continue to be an exciting prospect to watch.
