The rivalry between Shields and Marshall dates back to their previous encounter, where Shields emerged victorious in an undisputed world Middleweight title fight at The O2 in October. Despite her loss, Marshall has been eager for a rematch.

Marshall’s recent victory over Franchon Crews-Dezurn at The AO Arena in Manchester has further fueled discussions surrounding a potential rematch with Shields. However, YouTube sensation Jake Paul recently took to Twitter and made a game-changing announcement. He claimed that WBC president Maurício Sulaiman has ordered the British boxer to face Shadasia Green. This was not all as he then called for the winner of this bout to get a match with the ‘GWOAT’.

“Don’t know who this promoter on @SkySportsBoxing is, but @wbcmoro has guaranteed that Shadasia Green is next for Savannah Marshall. Claressa Shields will have to wait and fight the winner and that will be a mega fight she deserves.” he wrote.

Shields also went on to respond to Paul’s claims with the recent developments surrounding  Marshall’s next opponent. The undefeated champion voiced her frustration with the lack of communication regarding the WBC mandatory status but was ready to wait for her rival to face Green.
