Marshall scored a majority decision victory over Franchon Crews-Dezurn in the headline bout at Manchester’s AO Arena on Saturday night to be crowned the new undisputed super middleweight champion of the world.

Marshall secured a landslide victory on two of the judges’ scorecards to avenge her unanimous decision loss to Claressa Shields in October.

After a scrappy opening, the Hartlepool star showed her class by landing more clearly and decisively throughout the fight to claim the WBO, WBC, WBA and IBF titles as well as the ring magazine belt.

And for many, it was a ‘deserved’ victory for the North East fighter.
