PFL Newcastle: Savannah Marshall earns TKO finish in MMA debut, calls out Claressa ShieldsPFL
Savannah Marshall won big in her PFL fight.

Boxing champion Savannah Marshall made her mixed martial arts debut on Saturday in Newcastle.

Marshall entered MMA with the hopes of getting a rematch with Claressa Shields, who is also signed to PFL. Across the Smart Cage from Marshall was Mirela Vargas. 

Marshall ate several leg kicks to start the fight but battled back from adversity to earn a TKO in the first round.

“Thank god I can punch,” she said in the cage afterward. “You gotta be a little bit crazy to do this."

She called out her former boxing rival Claressa Shields who entered the cage and joked that Marshall looked worse than she did in her PFL debut.
