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, and Ayton De
Paepe, who came in 1.5 pounds over the bantamweight limit. As a
result of Begley’s miss, she will forfeit 30% of her purse to
opponent Paulina
Wisniewska and will start the fight with a point deduction.
Meanwhile, De Paepe failed his medical exams so the fight has been
scratched, allowing opponent Dean
Garnett to advance to the PFL Europe playoffs while receiving
both his show and win checks.
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 on Saturday at 12 p.m.
ET/9 a.m. PT.
