The Savannah Marshall-Hannah Rankin title fight scheduled for Saturday in Peterborough, England, is off.
Marshall’s trainer, Peter Fury, tested positive for COVID-19. And, according to protocol, those with whom he has been in close contact must go directly into quarantine.
A Matchroom Boxing statement said, “the fight will be rescheduled in due course and our best wishes are with Peter.”
Marshall and Rankin were scheduled to fight for the women’s middleweight title on the Lewis Ritson-Miguel Vazquez card at the East of England Arena.
“It’s very regrettable that’s [I] tested positive for COVID-19,” Fury tweeted. “Good news [Marshall] tested negative. However, due to the restrictions around a positive test, everyone must quarantine for 14 days. But [we will plan to] reschedule ASAP.”
