Claressa Shields Turns Down Savannah Marshall and Natasha Jonas Rematch

In a recent interview, promoter Ben Shalom confirmed that boxing champion Claressa Shields will not be facing off against Savannah Marshall or Natasha Jonas in her next fight.

Shields became undisputed middleweight champion after winning a spectacular bout with Marshall in October of last year. Since then, Marshall has been eager to get a rematch against her. However, it has been confirmed that Shields does not want to fight in the UK, and therefore won’t be taking up the challenge.

Similarly, Shields has been linked with a move to super-welterweight to box unified 154lb champion Natasha Jonas. But according to Shalom, this is not going to happen either.

So, what’s next for the undisputed middleweight champion? “I think that they’re looking at an option in the US, hopefully on Sky,” Shalom said.
