Savannah Marshall’s WBO title fight against Hannah Rankin will now take place on the Oleksandr Usyk vs. Dereck Chisora bill on Oct. 31.
The event was postponed after Peter Fury, Marshall’s trainer, tested positive for coronavirus at the start of last week. Fury had to go into self-isolation but Marshall did not test positive. She is now set to contest the vacant WBO middleweight belt.
Marshall is pleased her fight has been so quickly rescheduled, saying: "Honestly it has been a dream to have this fight rescheduled so quickly.
"After the past week I've just been overjoyed with the news. I couldn't have asked for a better or bigger platform than on the Usyk versus Chisora bill.
"It was frustrating that the fight fell through, but it's one of those things. There was nothing I could have done about it. Peter is okay so that was the main thing.
"My training won't change and will just be like any other training routine 10 days out from a fight. It hasn't got more personal for me, as me and Rankin are just two girls that can't wait for a dust up with each other."
Rankin meanwhile remains confident that she will emerge victorious at the end of the month.
"It is great that the fight has been rescheduled so soon, thank you to Eddie Hearn and Matchroom for sorting it all out," said Rankin.
"Nothing changes for me. I will be crowned WBO middleweight world champion on October 31."
