PFL Europe returns to Newcastle as boxing world champion Savannah Marshall makes her MMA transition against Mirela Vargas.
The undisputed super-middleweight world champion headlines Saturday’s event as she follows her bitter boxing rival Claressa Shields into the mixed martial arts world.
Marshall boasts a 13-1 professional boxing record, with her sole defeat coming against Shields.
The Brit will now be looking to work her way up in the smart cage before potentially challenging her American rival in an MMA bout.
Before that, Marshall will have to overcome Vargas who will be looking to spoil the party. The Brazilian is a pro mixed martial artist with a 1-2 record.
Elsewhere, there is a tasty lightweight showcase bout between last year’s tournament contender Dylan Tuke and Kane Mousah.
Lewis McGrillen-Evans also returns to action as he looks for a return to the win column against Matiss Zaharovs.
The event, which takes place at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena, gets underway at 5pm BST and 12pm ET. Fans can follow the action live on DAZN.
