Shields vs. Scott will be held in Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday, August 15. The main card starts at 8 p.m. ET, and the main event should begin around 11:30 p.m. ET, depending on how long the undercard fights last.
Shields (18-0) is a multi-time undisputed champion, holding that status at middleweight twice. The self-proclaimed “G.W.O.A.T.” is coming off a run at heavyweight where she held all the gold. Now, she aims for a record 21 belts held with a win.
A hard-hitting fighter and a pound-for-pound star, Shields is ready to make a statement at Scott’s expense on fight night.
“I’m not underestimating you at all,” Shields said to Scott via BoxingScene. “I think you’re underestimating me… I know you were in the amateurs. I know you are more experienced and that the majority (of high-level amateur females) make better boxers in the pros… I just have to perform at a very high level to destroy you.”
Scott (5-1-1) had a lengthy amateur career, winning silver at the World Championships. She went 1-0-1 against Olivia Curry, beating her in a rematch for the WBA and WBC belts.
The 42-year-old doesn’t feel pressure heading into the fight. She embraces the spotlight, and the Aussie is ready to hold onto gold by any means necessary.
“All I can do is control the controllables,” said Scott. “My sparring’s been on point, my conditioning’s been on point, my diet’s been on point, and my mindset is on point. So, this opportunity has arisen, and I’m just taking it with full force… I think I can create history and go out there and make it a really challenging fight and bring those belts back home to Australia.”
