Back in October, Claressa Shields traveled over to the UK and put on a career-defining performance in her ten round unanimous decision win over Savannah Marshall in their undisputed middleweight showdown.

The bout was 10 years in the making, with a rivalry that first began in 2012 when Marshall won a decision over Shields when they were both amateurs.

There was a rematch clause for both sides - and Marshall indicates that she exercised the option and plans to pursue a second fight with Shields.

Marshall's promoter, Ben Shalom of BOXXER, believes Marshall will get revenge in the second encounter.

"I think Savannah wants to come in with a new mindset and different mentality and a different gameplan," Shalom told Sky Sports. "She was disappointed with how she performed, she felt like it wasn't herself

"After that fight she was distraught. Despite everything she achieved and record viewing figures and becoming a superstar in the UK, she was still devastated because all she wanted to do was win that fight."

The rematch would not be immediate. Marshall is going to have one or two more fights before a second meeting with Shields.

Shalom wants Marshall to get some rounds in before the rematch.

"We know she wants that," Shalom said. "We respect that but we'll take the rematch at the right time for her. She'll fight in March or April and we'll look at it. It's the biggest fight in women's boxing, it still is."

"She's not had as many rounds as Claressa because of her knockout power. I think that does make a difference sometimes. For me she needs more rounds. I would like her to have a couple of fights before Claressa, just to get those rounds and that experience. But she feels she saw enough and knew enough and will go back into the rematch much better prepared. Savannah's grown a lot from that event. She'll now get confidence from that, be frustrated from that and that makes a dangerous fighter.

"I know she's already working hard back in the gym and she's a winner and she really believes that she's the best in the division. She obviously came up short last time but this time she'll be very confident."
