Savannah Marshall says she has activated a clause to take on Claressa Shields in a rematch.

Marshall lost to her bitter rival by unanimous decision in October, live on Sky Sports, on an historic night for women's boxing.

She told Soccer AM there are plans to hold a rematch at Newcastle's St James' Park stadium next summer.

Asked about the possibility of a second crack at the self-proclaimed GWOAT [Greatest Woman of All-Time], Marshall said: "Yeah, definitely. I've activated the rematch clause, so..."

The north-east native and American middleweight superstar Shields sold out London's 02 Arena earlier this year as part of the first all-women bill to be shown live on television in the UK and Ireland.

A grander stage still could play host to a second fight, according to Marshall, who said: "I know Sky are really keen - and BOXXER - to get a rematch at St James' Park in the summer... it'd be in the summer so it doesn't clash with the football season."

Marshall was gracious in defeat despite the well-documented hostility between the two, calling Shields a brilliant fighter, but she is confident of reversing the result at the second time of asking.

"Going from the last fight, I think I can outbox her," she said. "[It's] just changing the tactics.

"[Last time the tactics were] to go out there, sit on her chest and make her work. She had more than what I thought she would."

Sav is a great lass, but she's going to need to make some serious adjustments to win the rematch. Peter Fury has done a great job for her, but I think she needs a change.

No point in changing trainer she’s just a few levels below shields. No trainer can change that

BigGar wrote: ↑18 Feb 2023, 05:24 Shields has a good point there. Don’t even think there should be a rematch. Rematch would be even more one sided.
