Boxing champion Savannah Marshall will make her mixed martial arts debut in the main event of PFL Europe 2.

The latest Professional Fighters League card is now official after the PFL Europe 2 weigh-ins took place. Nearly all fighters on the card made weight, with the exception of Dee Begley, who missed the flyweight limit by 4.3 pounds, and Ayton De Paepe, who came in 1.5 pounds over the bantamweight limit. As a result of Begley's miss, she will forfeit 30% of her purse to opponent Paulina Wisniewska and will start the fight with a point deduction. Meanwhile, De Paepe failed his medical exams so the fight has been scratched, allowing opponent Dean Garnett to advance to the PFL Europe playoffs while receiving both his show and win checks.

The main event will see Marshall, who holds an impressive boxing record of 13-1 make her MMA debut against Mirela Vargas. Marshall could potentially set up an MMA fight against boxing rival Claressa Shields down the line. She notably became the first woman to defeat Shields in an amateur fight in 2012 before losing to Shields as a professional in 2022. Meanwhile, Vargas (1-2) is a 26-year-old fighter out of Brazil.

PFL Europe 2 will air live on Dazn in Europe on Saturday at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT.
