Terms of the deal were not disclosed, and a date for Marshall’s PFL debut was not revealed. Marshall owns a 13-1 career mark in professional boxing, with her lone defeat coming against current PFL talent Claressa Shields last October.

Accordng to a release, Marshall, Shields, former PFL lightweight champ Kayla Harrison and featherweight boxing Amanda Serrano will be the foundation for PFLW, “which will put the focus on women in combat sports while continuing the PFL’s fighter first merit-based approach to MMA.”

“I want to welcome two-time boxing world champion, Savannah Marshall to the Professional Fighters League,” said PFL CEO Peter Murray. “It’s an exciting time for PFL as we officially launch PFLW, and the addition of Savannah Marshall strengthens the best global roster of women in combat sports. PFLW is committed to the empowerment and equality of all female athletes and provides a dedicated platform for women to become PFL MMA champions.”

In an interview with ESPN, Marshall said she had “dabbled” in MMA previously while training with UFC veteran Molly McCann. Boxing will remain the first priority for Marshall, but she hopes to get a rematch with Shields int he PFL.

"I'm under no illusion that's probably one of the main reasons why they wanted to sign me," Marshall told ESPN. "And that is something that I'm looking forward to in the future and I'm not sure about the men but I know there's definitely not two other women that boxed in the ring and fought in the SmartCage.

"So I think it would be massive, and like I said, our rivalry still lives on.”
