Savannah Marshall Makes MMA Debut

World super middleweight (up to 76,2 kg) champion Savannah Marshall (13-1, 10 KOs) is transitioning to mixed martial arts and will debut against Mirella Vargas.

The bout will take place on June 8th at Utilita Arena in Newcastle, England. The event will be streamed on the platform DAZN.

Unlike Savannah, Vargas is not a newcomer to mixed martial arts. The Brazilian has competed in more than 50 kickboxing fights, won her MMA debut by knockout in just twelve seconds, and has secured several victories in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitions in South America.
