Savannah Marshall vs Femke Hermans date and card with Geordie Shore star making boxing debut

Savannah Marshall's next fight date has been confirmed as April 2nd when she defends her title against Femke Hermans.

The WBO World Female Middleweight had initially been scheduled for March, but has been moved to April 2 at the Newcastle Arena.

Marshall puts her title on the line against former WBO World Champion Hermans, before turning her attention to Claressa Shields.

The Hartlepool fighter is also seeking to maintain her unbeaten career record, which now stands at 11-0, while she'll also be looking to extend her run of stoppage wins - having won her last seven without going the full distance.

And all eyes will be cast towards Newcastle for the women's middleweight scene, as Hermans is Marshall's final hurdle before a unification bout with Shields.

The card boasts another name familiar to locals, with Geordie Shore's Aaron Chalmers making his promotional debut as a boxer.

Chalmers has officially made the switch from MMA to boxing. Chalmers retired from MMA last week, with a solid 5-2 record after fighting in BAMMA and Bellator and has been training with boxing coach Adam Booth for the last 18 months.

The pair both signed with BOXXER - with fights being aired on Sky Sports.

The fights will be shown without pay-per-view access as part of BOXXER's ongoing deal with the platform.
