Savannah Marshall made another defense of her WBO Middleweight title against Femke Hermans

Savannah Marshall squared off against top-contender Femke Hermans on Saturday night in Newcastle, England.

'The Silent Assassin' was back for the first time since October 2021, where she TKO'd Lolita Muzeya. The early expectation was that if Marshall was able to get through Hermans, she would face off against Claressa Shields in a long-awaited grudge match next.

Hermans entered the bout off a three-fight winning streak. She looked to capture gold for the first time since May 2018, when she earned the WBO Women's Super-Middleweight title with a decision win over Nikki Adler. The Belgian headed in as a huge underdog, but felt confident of springing an upset.

The co-main event spot was a heated bout between Florian Marku and Chris Jenkins. The fight got a lot of added attention after the IBF international Middleweight Champion shoved his challenger during their weigh-ins.
