Savannah Marshall risks wrath of former sparring partner Tommy Fury with Jake Paul decision
SAVANNAH MARSHALL laughs when she admits to switching allegiances to Jake Paul's camp over Tommy Fury. Marshall, a former middleweight world champion, spent years sparring with a young Fury on their way up the ranks. 3 But now she is one of Paul's latest signings in the YouTuber-turned-boxer's ever evolving roster of women stars. So if her new boss was ever to rematch old pal Fury, there is only one man Marshall can cheer on now. She told SunSport with a laugh: "Jake's paying me now, so I know where my bread's buttered now!" Paul, 28, suffered his first and so far only defeat in 2023 against Fury, 26, losing a split-decision in Saudi Arabia. But he has since bounced back with five wins on the spin, most recently in November against Mike Tyson. Tyson caused controversy by coming out of retirement aged 58 but over 100 MILLION watched the fight on Netflix - including Marshall. She said: "I watched the Mike Tyson one and I think I watched when he boxed Mike Perry. So I've seen a few. "I watched that one (Fury vs Paul) as well. I always forget about that. So look, I've watched quite a few. I'm a bit of a fan." Paul returns on June 28 against ex-middleweight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, 39, dropping back down to cruiserweight. And just two weeks later, he promotes Katie Taylor's trilogy bout in New York against Amanda Serrano following the Irish legend's two wins over her great rival. Marshall, 34, features on the undercard against American Shadasia Green, 35, for the IBF and WBO super-middleweight titles. She said: "I've had trouble getting on shows and that sort of thing and this has come about and it's for the unified world title which is brilliant. "I'm really happy. She's a formidable opponent. She's strong, she can whack. "And to be honest, I believe it would be one of the better fights on the show." 3

More kick-off press conference for Taylor vs Serrano 3 at The Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City, New York, U.S., April 9, 2025. (Photo by Mostafa Bassim/Anadolu via Getty Images) Katie Taylor (24-1, 6 KOs) and Amanda Serrano (47-3-1, 31 KOs) are set to add a third chapter to their epic rivalry that has played a major role in defining their careers and dramatically advancing women's boxing. Taylor has won both of the first two meetings, but the results have been controversial. Because of the questions around the final decisions, there is an appetite for a third meeting. Recently, MVP Promotions announced the entire card, and it is packed with almost every top-level female fighter in the world. Here is a look at the card and viewing information. Streaming Platform: Netflix Main Card Start Time: 7 p.m. ET Main Event Ring Walks: Approximately 9:40 p.m. ET Date: Friday, July 11, 2025 Venue: Madison Square Garden, New York City ARLINGTON, TEXAS - NOVEMBER 15: (L-R) Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano fight during LIVE On Netflix: ... More Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson at AT&T Stadium on November 15, 2024 in Arlington, Texas. (Photo byfor Netflix © 2024) Here's a look at the historic fight card: Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano – Undisputed Super Lightweight Title Alycia Baumgardner vs. Jennifer Miranda – Undisputed Super Featherweight Title Savannah Marshall vs. Shadasia Green – Super Middleweight Title Unification Ellie Scotney vs. Yamileth Mercado – Super Bantamweight Title Unification Dina Thorslund vs. Shurretta Metcalf – Bantamweight Title Unification Chantelle Cameron vs. Jessica Camara – WBC Interim Super Lightweight Title Ramla Ali vs. Lila Furtado – Super Bantamweight Bout Tamm Thibeault vs. Mary Casamassa – Super Middleweight Bout Aside from Taylor-Serrano III and Baumgardner-Miranda, which we've known about for a while, MVP officially added Marshall-Green to add more depth to the card. 'Defending my IBF and Ring Magazine belt in a unification fight with Shadasia Green, on an all-women's card such as this, is a great way to start my new journey with MVP,' said Marshall via an MVP press release. 'There are so many great women on one show at the iconic Madison Square Garden, and I'm beaming that I can play my part in it. Cannot wait for Friday, July 11th!' Green was equally happy to clash with Marshall. 'I am really excited about fighting Savannah Marshall, who has accomplished a lot in the sport. We are two hard-punching world champions who will put everything on the line,' said Green via an MVP press release. 'I'm looking forward to putting on a great show, and I'm certain that Marshall will bring the best out of me on Friday, July 11.' FLINT, MICHIGAN - FEBRUARY 02: Claressa Shields arrives for her undisputed heavyweight title bout ... More against Danielle Perkins on February 02, 2025 at Dort Financial Center in Flint, Michigan. (Photo by) While the MVP card is stacked and an excellent celebration of women's boxing, it's impossible to overlook who's not on the card. Claressa Shields, the only female fighter whose accomplishments best Serrano and Taylor, isn't on the card. Undisputed super middleweight champion Franchon Crews-Dezurn, who defeated Green to win her undisputed crown, isn't on the card, and neither is women's welterweight champion Mikaela Mayer. According to Shields, MVP made her an offer to fight on the card, but the undisputed heavyweight champion felt it was too low. Because there has been conversation, I have confidence we'll see a second card down the road that does include Shields. While we're celebrating MVP's show, I can't help but wonder how much cooler the event could have been if it had a second main event featuring Shields-Green and perhaps Crews-Dezurn vs. Marshall. That card goes even crazier than the one MVP has put in place. In any case, I'll have complete coverage of the card, and I'll also have an eye on what Shields has to say about the event.
