Olympic gold medallist makes big call on Claressa Shields vs. Savannah Marshall 2

Olympic gold medallist makes big call on Claressa Shields vs. Savannah Marshall 2DAZN

Nicola Adams is backing Savannah Marshall to bounce back if she ever faces Claressa Shields in a rematch.  

Marshall captured undisputed honours at super-middleweight earlier this month when she defeated Franchon Crews-Dezurn in Manchester, but her focus then switched to a second professional meeting with Shields. 

Last year, Shields gained revenge on Marshall following their amateur rivalry when she was too good for the British fighter.  

Although nobody had any complaints with the result, Marshall has stated that she can improve in time for another clash and Adams, a two-time Olympic gold medallist, is of the same opinion. 

"Savannah is doing really well. I think it could be different second time around,” said Adams when speaking to Sky Sports News

"Savannah knows where she went wrong last time, and I think she underestimated Claressa a little bit. Whereas this time, she's not going to underestimate Claressa and she'll give it 110 per cent.”
