Marshall, the British boxing sensation, is set to make her return to the ring this weekend in an electrifying showdown against Franchon Crews-Dezurn, the reigning undisputed super-middleweight champion. The 32-year-old Marshall, who suffered a defeat to Claressa Shields in October, is determined to claim the super-middleweight title and become a two-weight world champion. Marshall will square off against her American opponent at the AO Arena in Manchester, vowing to learn from her loss to Shields and deliver an improved performance.
