The 21-year-old Flint, Michigan native and four-time USA National Champion has merited accolades at every level of international competition, earning Gold medals in the Pan American Games, two World Championships and two-time AIBA Female Boxer of the Year honors. The pride of a nation, Shields looks to break boxing’s glass ceiling and engage a new generation of fight fans with her move into the professional ranks.
“After working hard for so many years and having the honor to represent my country at two Olympic games, I am thrilled to take the next big step in my career, fighting professionally and leading the rise of women’s boxing worldwide,"A dúirt Shields. “There is no better place to begin the journey than to join the biggest fight of the year, Kovalev vs Ward, and to fight alongside my idol and fellow U.S. Olympic Gold Medalist Andre Ward. I can’t wait to entertain the fans onNov.19!"
“Claressa Shields is a uniquely talented and special young woman. Ag díreach 21 bliain d'aois, she is a once-in-a-lifetime type athlete whose talent inside the ring and charisma outside of it gives her the potential to be a trailblazer for women’s boxing and for all of boxing for years to come,” said Mark Taffet and Jamie Fritz, co-managers of Claressa Shields. “We are proud to be part of Claressa Shields’s team and are thrilled she will be part of the year’s marquee event, Kovalev vs Ward, ar Samhain. 19 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.”

After weeks of family discussions, Shields was granted her family’s permission to pursue her passion – a decision they will likely never regret.
Shields burst onto the boxing scene, developing a name for herself as one of the most talented female boxers in the country. Her reputation continued to build through her middle and high school years leading her to become the first ever U.S. women’s boxer to qualify for the 2012 London Games. To Shields, simply earning an invitation to the Olympics was not enough, she wanted to make a lasting impact for her country. After three exciting fights, Shields was rewarded her first Gold medal in the 165-pound weight class, and became the first American woman to win a Gold medal in boxing.
Shields was named the 2014 AIBA Female Boxer of the Year, 2014 USA Boxing National Champion, 2015 Pan American Games Gold Medalist in the light heavyweight division, and two-time World Champion in the women’s middleweight division. Chasing greatness, she became the first U.S. boxer to successfully defend an Olympic title as she earned a second Gold medal at the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro. Concluding an unparalleled amateur legacy, Shields announced that she would be making her professional debut on the freeview broadcast of the year’s biggest boxing matchup, Kovalev-Ward at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Samhain. 19, 2016.
As a proud Flint, Michigan native, Shields is constantly looking for ways to shine a positive light on her hometown. She understands the importance of being a role model to youth in her community and has been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support she has received since returning from Rio with another Gold medal. Following her first Gold medal summer, Shields became the first in her family to graduate from high school and is enrolled in online college classes to pursue her academic goals and competitive aspirations simultaneously.

Le seachtain anuas nó mar sin tá preas an Domhain ag díriú go mór ar na rudaí a fógraíodh le déanaí 9ú Iúil Tyson Fury-Wladimir Klitschko Athsheoladh Chraobhchomórtais Trom-mheáchain Aontaithe WBO-WBA-IBO. Ceart go leor mar sin, is troid an-mhór é, seachtain amháin roimhe sin, áfach, tá beart aontaithe atá chomh suntasach céanna leis an Domhan ar siúl anseo sa Ríocht Aontaithe.
Iúil 2ú, ag an Arena UK i Grantham, Lincolnshire, Domhanda #15 agus na Breataine #1 ní amháin go mbeidh Marianne Marston rangaithe ag tabhairt dúshlán Chónaidhm Dornálaíochta Domhanda na hAfraice Theas (WBFed) Curadh Domhanda Super Bantamweight Gabisile Tshabalala as a choróin chlúiteach, ach beidh sé mar aidhm aige freisin an tAontas Dornálaíochta Domhanda a dhaingniú (WBU), Cumann Dornálaíochta Idirnáisiúnta na mBan (WIBA) agus an Eagraíocht Dornálaíochta Uilíoch (UBO) Duaiseanna Domhanda.
London based Marston, who was originally due to challenge Unathi Myekeni for the Bantamweight version of the WBFed strap back in December, that was until Myekeni was forced to withdraw following a hand injury, is cleary relishing the belated opportunity, mar a rinne sí soiléir nuair a labhair sí níos luaithe.
“I cannot thank WBFed President Howard Goldberg enough for making this happen, like me he was so dissapointed when Unathi (Myekeni) pulled out injured last year.
In addition to Howard, I would also lke to thank WIBA President Ryan Wissow, WBU President Don Lewis and Sebastien Pitois from the UBO, as they have been so supportive throughout my career, so to also challenge for their Championships really is so special for me.
I’m forty two now, so honestly thought after Unathi pulled out, that’s it for me, Ní bhfaighidh mé an deis troid ar son teideal Domhanda, Ceart go leor níl sé sin fíor, D’fhéadfainn troid ar son teideal folamh, ach domsa níl sé sin maith go leor, Ba mhaith liom dul i ngleic leis an chuid is fearr, Ba mhaith liom an Curadh Domhanda a bhualadh.
Tá físeán de Gabisile feicthe agam, nuair a throid sí an tSionainn (O'Connell) i 2013, ach ba mhaith léi go mór físeán ar bith di a fháil nuair a bhuaigh sí an teideal Domhanda anuraidh. Tá a fhios agam an méid atá athraithe agam, troid ciallmhar, ós rud é 2013 mar sin ba mhaith liom a fheiceáil an bhfuil aon athruithe ar a stíl nó a beartáin.
Ón méid atá feicthe agam, Trodaire classy í, lámha an-sciobtha. Nuair a throid sí an tSionainn, bhí sí go príomha i gcoinne punching, a d’oirfeadh dom, ach ar chúis éigin tá mothú agam go mbeidh cur chuige an-difriúil aici mar Churadh cosanta.
Bíodh bealach, troid iontach a bheidh anseo don lucht leanúna, tá a leithéid de chodarsnacht inár stíleanna agus is é mo thuairim gurb iad na difríochtaí sin i stíl agus cur chuige oirbheartaíochta a fhágfaidh gur troid iontach é seo.
Tá borradh faoi dhornálaíocht na Breataine, tá an oiread sin Seaimpíní Domhanda againn i láthair na huaire, Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, Kell Brook, Carl Frampton, Lee Selby, Liam Smith, Jamie McDonnell, Lee Haskins, Tony Moran, Craig Docherty, Terry Flanagan, Anthony Crolla, James DeGale agus ar ndóigh mo shean-chara giomnáisiam ag an TKO, Billy Joe Saunders.
Is léir gur fir iad uile, mar sin ba mhaith liom an t-easnamh a cheartú beagán agus a bheith páirteach leo, chomh maith le bheith ar an gcéad dhornálaí Mná Briotanach a corónaíodh mar Chraobh an Domhain ó bhuaigh Jane Couch Jaime Clampitt don teideal IWBF i 2004. "
Gabisile Tshabalala Vs Marianne Marston don WBFed, WBU, Tá Craobh Domhanda Aontaithe Aontaithe WIBA agus UBO Super Bantamweight i gceannas ar an ócáid a chuir Russ Brown chun cinn AS GOOD AS IT GETS ag an Arena UK i Grantham, Lincolnshire, RA Dé Sathairn 2ú Iúil.
Ceadaíonn na Breataine an ócáid seo & Údarás Dornálaíochta na hÉireann (BIBA) www.boxbiba.com
