Boxing champion Savannah
Marshall will make her mixed martial arts debut in the main
event of
PFL Europe 2.
The latest
Professional Fighters League card is now official after the PFL
Europe 2 weigh-ins took place. Nearly all fighters on the card made
weight, with the exception of Dee Begley,
who missed the flyweight limit by 4.3 pounds. As a result of the
miss, Begley will forfeit 30 percent of her purse to opponent
Paulina
Wisniewska and will begin the fight with a point deduction.
The main event will see Marshall, who holds an impressive boxing
record of 13-1 make her MMA debut against Mirela
Vargas. Marshall could potentially set up an MMA fight against
boxing rival Claressa
Shields down the line. She notably became the first woman to
defeat Shields in an amateur fight in 2012 before losing to Shields
as a professional in 2022. Meanwhile, Vargas (1-2) is a 26-year-old
fighter out of Brazil.
PFL Europe 2 will air live on Dazn in Europe.
