There will be more than the title on the line when Marshall and Shields fight.
The winner of Shields-Marshall will be given the Elizabethan Belt in memory of Queen Elizabeth II.
The British Boxing Board of Control decided to push all fights off of the weekend after Queen Elizabeth II passed away. October 15 is the new date for the fights.
Marshall said in a statement that the belt is brilliant. It's staying in the UK. She can't walk away with that. It wouldn't be right if that left this country.
There are small flags of the United States and Great Britain on the sides of the purple belt, withQueen Elizabeth's name, crown and years of her life in the middle.
The belt was created to honor one of the greatest human beings that ever lived, according to the statement from the president of the World Boxing Council.
The main event on the all-women's card next Saturday will feature the junior lightweight unification fight between Alycia Baumgardner and Mikayla Mayer.
