Savannah Marshall

All of the middleweight belts go on the line at the O2 Arena in London tonight.

Fight remains competitive, but Baumgardner looks to be edging it as it heads into the fourth. That developed in similar fashion to the first; Shields looked extremely sharp and quick in delivering combinations but Marshall fought back and slowed her down with some industrious counter punches of her own. Both figuring each other out in the early stages before Shields came with an absolute flurry of combinations as Marshall lost her way. Superb from both fighters who are on the front foot and producing some ferocious fighting as they battle all the way. The decision will be intriguing - it looked as though Baumgardner may have edged it.. That looked to be a hugely encouraging round for the home fighter. Solid work from Marshall in the ninth as the final bell looms. Great left hooks landed by both in the fifth. Here comes the second half of what has been an immense fight thus far. The final round beckons. Into the seventh they went and Shields defended well before landing some rasping body shots. Down to the judges here...

The Sporting News will be providing live updates and highlights from the all-women's fight card featuring Claressa Shields vs. Savannah Marshall and Mikaela ...

"I walked out before any of the boxing started and I was like, 'wow'. Mayer's jabs catch the eye and probably give her the round, although it's really close to call. The jab is also working nicely for her. Shields connects with a series of shots including one to the body. Mayer lands a vicious left hook and whips in shots with her right. 10.40 p.m.: Shields performs a dance routine with backing dancers as she emerges in a red, white and blue uniform. Shields holds up a glove towards the end of the round and dodges one of Marshall's punches with almost mocking ease. Shields succeeds with an uppertcut to the body. It's an excellent first round as well with the bombs being brandished almost immediately. Shields holds Marshall of and slips in sly shots that lack a little of the slickness they carried early on. Every time Marshall motors forward, you suspect Shields is being fuelled to throw something even more sinister back. We go to the scorecards!

England Lionesses hero Jill Scott will accompany Hartlepool's WBO middleweight champion Savannah Marshall to the ring at London's O2 Arena.
