Savannah Marshall: Conor Benn has right to ‘fair trial’ after adverse drug finding



“Put it this way,” Marshall said. “I’m enrolled on the Vada programme, and for the past three months I’ve been getting tested randomly at least once every week.

“I think Vada are brilliant. Don’t get me wrong, when they’re knocking at my door at 7 in the morning, they’re getting snarls and scowls off me. But I think the way their programme is set up, how professional it is, I think Vada is the best out there.

“No one is guilty until they are proven guilty, and until Conor has his day in court… that’s to be said. But I have faith in Vada, I think they do a really good job.”

WBO middleweight title holder Marshall will look to become undisputed champion this weekend as she takes on WBA, WBC and IBF title holder Shields.

Both women are unbeaten as professionals, though Marshall, 31, defeated Shields, 27, during the pair’s amateur careers.
