On September 10th, the IBF ordered its super middleweight champion, Savannah Marshall (pictured), and IBF mandatory contender Shadasia Green to begin negotiations for a championship fight. An agreement was not reached within the time frame set forth by IBF so the IBF has scheduled a purse bid for Tuesday, October 29th. Marshall (13-1) has not boxed since July of 2023 when she narrowly defeated Francon Crews-Dezurn for the four major titles. Marshall did, however, win a mixed martial arts fight earlier this year. Marhsall's inactivity has cost her the other three belts. Meanwhile Green (14-1) lost to Crews-Dezurn in December of 2023 but came back with one win since then.
