It is officially fight week, and the GWOAT is back.

Claressa Shields returns to the ring Saturday, August 15, for a huge night of boxing at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, where she will move back down to the 160-pound middleweight division to face Kaye Scott.

Shields and Scott will battle for the WBC and WBA middleweight world championships, but the main event is only part of a loaded night. Fans will get hours of action across two broadcasts, beginning with an early undercard on Zeus Network before the championship portion takes over on DAZN.
