(SEPT 9) As a mark of
respect following the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II,
the British Boxing Board of Control has made the decision to
postpone Saturday’s event, BOXXER: Legacy – Shields vs Marshall.
Our sincere thoughts are with His Majesty King Charles III and
the Royal Family during this profoundly somber time.
We are working with all parties to provisionally reschedule for
Saturday, 15th October, at The O2 in London.
BOXXER CEO and Founder Ben Shalom said: “This is an
unprecedented moment in our history and our sincere thoughts are
primarily with the Royal Family and the nation at this time. Out
of respect, the British Boxing Board of Control has decided to
postpone Saturday’s show.
“A provisional date for Saturday, 15th October at The O2 is
being worked on by all parties to stage this unique and
historical night of celebration for women’s sport at a more
appropriate time.”
Adam Smith, Head of Boxing Development at Sky Sports, said: “All
of our thoughts at Sky Sports Boxing are with the Royal Family
at this time.
“As much as we were all looking forward to witnessing this
historical sporting spectacle this weekend, it is absolutely
right to respectfully reschedule the show for October 15th.”
Further updates on the new date will be made at the earliest
opportunity via Boxxer.com and on BOXXER social channels.
