Claressa Shields update: bout plans stalled?

After a proposed title defense on a UFC-promoted show has apparently fallen through, Claressa Shields' manager Mark Taffett discussed the possibility of Shields going over to Matchroom: "Salita Promotions asked if [Matchroom's Eddie Hearn] wants to discuss a deal and Eddie Hearn's answer was to tweet 'Love you Claressa" ??? As Tina Turner sang, 'what’s love got to do with it?' Guess he doesn’t want [WBO middleweight title holder] Savannah Marshall anywhere near [multi-division champion] Claressa Shields."
