The Claressa Shields-Savannah Marshall card scheduled for Saturday in London has been postponed as the UK mourns the death of Queen Elizabeth.

It has been tentatively rescheduled for October 15 at the O2 Arena, the original venue.

Top promoter BOXXER issued a statement Thursday saying the British Boxing Board of Control’s decision would be made after consultations with government and sporting officials over long-standing guidelines in the event of the monarch’s passing.

The weigh-in for the women’s card reportedly took place behind closed doors in case the card went as planned.

BOXXER issued the following statement after the postponement:

“As a mark of respect following the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the British Boxing Board of Control has made the decision to postpone Saturday’s event, BOXXER: LEGACY — Shields vs. Marshall.

“Our sincerest thoughts are with His Majesty King Carlos III and the Royal Family during this profound [somber] weather.

“We are working with all parties to tentatively reschedule for Saturday, October 15.”

Shields and Marshall, who is English, were set to fight for the undisputed middleweight championship a decade after Marshall became the only boxer to beat Shields, amateur or professional.

Marshall, 21 at the time, outpointed 17-year-old Shields at the 2012 AIBA World Championships. Shields won two Olympic gold medals and major titles in three divisions as a professional.

Marshall also became world champion in 2020.
