\n \n Face-to-face for the promotional photoshoot, and the fight between Britain’s Savannah Marshall and the USA’s Claressa Shields has already begun.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cI’ve got plenty of confidence,\u201d Shields taunted Marshall as the camera flashed, \u201cI came over here, come to America.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cNo power though,\u201d Marshall retorted.\n <\/p>\n \n The two women, whose bitter rivalry stretches back 10 years, will face off for the undisputed middleweight championship on Saturday in London on a historic night for women’s boxing, marking the first-ever all female card in the UK, as well the first time two women will headline at the O2 Arena.\n <\/p>\n \n It is the latest landmark during a historic year for the sport in which Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano became the first women to ever headline at Madison Square Gardens in May.\n <\/p>\n \n Women’s boxing was banned in the UK as recently as 1998, and the rivalry between Marshall and Shields covers almost half the time in which the sport has been legal.\n <\/p>\n \n It began back at the 2012 AIBA world championship when Marshall emerged victorious points, 14-8, inflicting the only defeat on Shields that she has ever achieved in her professional or amateur career.\n <\/p>\n \n Marshall won that world championship a few days later while a then 17-year-old Shields won the Olympics a few months later.\n <\/p>\n
