Lindberg took the fight against Marshall in London in April at short notice and the star shot's impact force made the decision.
When she stepped into the ring again on Friday night, two world championship titles were at stake in Tottenham Hotspur's banquet hall.
It was an even match where both Lindberg and Rankin, who in 2019 were defeated by Patricia Berghult, showed great will.
The boxers constantly exchanged blows and took turns to take home the rounds - but the 44-year-old was eventually defeated via unanimous decision.
Before the fight, Lindberg's upload was characterized by visa drama and as recently as a few days ago, she did not know who would be in her corner of the ring.
The Swedish boxer suffered a brain haemorrhage in an amateur international match against Finland in 1999 and was then suspended for life from boxing within Sweden's borders.
Since its debut in 2003, Skånska has been fighting abroad.
