'The Silent Assassin' is eager to set up an undisputed clash with USA star Shields later this year.

Marshall was ringside for Shields' underwhelming win over Ema Kozin in Cardiff in February with the two nearly coming to blows after the fight.

Marshall will not be underestimating Hermans, however, with the Belgian a tough competitor and 12 and three in her career so far.
