Shields turned professional in late 2016 and made history again in her last fight, when she appeared live on SHOWTIME’s popular ShoBox: Generasi Baru di Bulan Maret 10 tahun ini. By knocking out Hungary’s Szilvia Szabados in four impressive rounds, Shields became the first woman to ever headline a boxing event on premium cable.
“I’m looking forward to June 16 dan pertarungan delapan ronde pertama saya, as I continue to reach higher on the road to the biggest fights and the continued rise of women’s boxing,” kata Shields. “I can’t wait to get back in the ring and give my fans in Detroit and around the world another great night of boxing!”
Shields manager, Mark Taffet, echoes his fighter’s excitement over another fistic homecoming. “We are very excited to be returning to Detroit on Bulan Juni 16 for the next chapter in Claressa Shields’ road to women’s boxing history. Claressa will be in great shape as always, and looks to give her fans a night to remember.”
Promoter Dmitriy Salita, who promoted Shields’ history-making battle with Szabados, says he’s happy to be featuring the budding superstar on another of his very popular shows in Motown.
“Claressa is an American hero from Flint, Michigan,” Kata Kata, “and for people around the world. Like with all her fights, fans attending this event will witness a part of history live on Bulan Juni 16.”
Another Detroit boxing great is also excited about Shields’ future in the sport.
“I think Claressa Shields has the ability to be a great fighter,” kata Thomas “Centeng” Hearns. “She is bringing back the style, excitement and energy that fans around the world want to see!”
