底特律 (七月 25, 2017) – 上 星期五, 八月 4, two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Claressa “T-Rex” Shields will make another significant stop on her historic journey through the sport of boxing.
In the 10-round main event of Salita Promotions’ “BATTLE OF THE BEST” event at MGM Grand Detroit and televised live on ShoBox: 新一代 (10;30 P.M. ET / PT) 希爾茲 (3-0, 1 KO) will challenge for her first world title in just her fourth fight against reigning WBC Super Middleweight World Champion Nikki Adler (16-0, 9 科斯) 德國.
Already considered a national treasure and award-winning female role model, 希爾茲’ boldly quick world-title quest will catapult her to superstar status and into boxing history once again. By comparison to other female boxing stars from past and present, Shields is way ahead of the curve for a typical rise through the ranks:
萊拉·阿里: Won IBA Super Middleweight title in her 12日 親鬥爭
克里斯蒂·馬丁: Won WBC Jr Welterweight title in her 21ST 親鬥爭
Lucia Rijker: Won WIBF Super Lightweight title in her 9日 親鬥爭
Regina Halmich: Won IBF Flyweight title in her 10日 親鬥爭
Ann Wolfe: Won IFBA Jr Middleweight title in her 10日 親鬥爭
Cecelia Braekhus: Won WBC Welterweight title in her 11日 親鬥爭
克里斯蒂娜·哈默: Won WBO Middleweight title in her 8日 親鬥爭
冬青霍爾姆: 韓元 IBA Super Lightweight title in her 11日 親鬥爭
The historical significance of this fight is not lost on the 22-year-old Flint, Michigan native.
“It’s a great honor to be mentioned in the same sentence as Lucia Rijker, 克里斯蒂·馬丁, Laila Ali and Ann Wolfe, 等等,” 希爾茲說. “I want to lift boxing to new heights and help open doors for women in boxing. Beating Nikki Adler is a must for me to achieve my goals.”
希爾茲’ 聯席經理, Mark Taffet, says this rocket ship to the top is all part of the plan set out for Shields. “We want every one of Claressa’s fights to occupy a special place along her historic journey. 八月 4 against Nikki Adler, and the opportunity to win a world title in just her fourth pro fight, is an important ‘first’ in what will be a career of game-changing firsts for Claressa Shields.”
In the night’s televised co-main, junior welterweight KO artist 巴赫蒂亞爾 “Bakha Bullet” Yeyubov (13-0, 11 科斯) will face undefeated prospect 桑尼 “Pretty Boi” 弗雷德里克森 (17-0, 11 科斯) over 10-rounds and to open the telecast, world-ranked super bantamweight Vladimir Tikhonov (16-0, 9 科斯) of Russia will face Texas slugger Jesse Angel Hernandez (8-1, 6 科斯) 超過八輪.
