Sky Sports<\/a>, Marshall is losing hope that Shields will ever agree to fight her again.<\/p>\nMarshall was so driven in her pursuit of getting her own back on Shields that she followed her US rival into MMA. Now, with we fans wanting to see these two do it again, the electricity and the tension of their very real bad blood rivalry making it this way, Marshall is doing all she can to entice her rival into taking the rematch.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want that rematch, I really want that rematch. I\u2019m starting to come to terms with maybe it\u2019s never going to happen through her not wanting it,\u201d Marshall said with regards to facing Shields again. \u201cShe gets the most money fighting me, and maybe one day she\u2019ll turn around, and she might want that rematch, but let\u2019s just hope it\u2019s not too late. I\u2019ve chased that rematch for a long time\u2026..gone over to MMA, signed with PFL. She was with PFL, and then all of a sudden, she doesn\u2019t want to do MMA anymore. I\u2019ve come to the conclusion she\u2019s not interested.\u201d<\/p>\n
If Marshall is right, and Shields doesn\u2019t have any interest in a return fight \u2013 and it sure seems strange if this is the case \u2013 both women will go in separate directions. And this would be a shame, for the sport, for the fans, and for both fighters.<\/p>\n
The first fight Shields and Marshall had was damn entertaining, and a second slice would be most welcome. Marshall feels she has done all she can do to try and make it happen, but to no avail. At least not so far. Maybe Shields will look at the dollar signs and see sense here. Before it\u2019s not too late, as Marshall said.<\/p>\n
In the meantime, Shields, 16-0(3) will defend her four heavyweight titles against Lani Daniels in July. Marshall, 13-1(10) will next fight Shadasia Green that same night, this in a two-belt super middleweight title fight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the opinion of a good many fans and supporters of women\u2019s boxing, there is no bigger fight…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":142954,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4108],"tags":[1935,93,79,37835,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-142953","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-sport","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-top-rank-boxing","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114594404346238975","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142953","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142953"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142953\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142954"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142953"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142953"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142953"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
