Earlier this year, Shields became the first woman ever to claim the Undisputed Heavyweight World Championship—and the first boxer, male or female, to achieve undisputed status in three weight divisions.
Shields put on a dominant performance in February, where she dismantled the towering and dangerous Danielle Perkins in front of a roaring hometown crowd at the Dort Financial Center in Flint. With the win, Shields cemented her place as undisputed women’s heavyweight champ.
Shields now looks to extend her reign against Daniels.
Daniels, coined “The Smiling Assassin,” is the former IBF Heavyweight World Champion and looks to pull off a massive upset, regain her crown and add three more world title belts to her collection.
The card will see fights from formidable prospects and contenders. The televised portion of the card will begin with a WBC Silver Featherweight Title and WBC World Title Eliminator bout between Canada’s Caroline Veyre and France’s Licia Boudersa.
Signing with Salita Promotions in 2024, Veyre has proven to be one of the most dangerous contenders in the featherweight division. On the heels of two dominant unanimous decision victories in back-to-back fights, Veyre prepares to take the next step towards WBC gold against the battle-tested Boudersa.
Boudersa makes her promotional debut for Salita following a closely contested loss to Beatriz Ferreira for the IBF Lightweight World Title last year. Boasting championship experience, Boudersa stands as a stiff test for the surging Veyre.
In the next bout, undefeated WBA Super Lightweight Champion from Lexington, KY Samantha Worthington will face Victoire Piteau of France.
Worthington, who is co-promoted by Shields’ T-Rex Promotions and Salita Promotions, looks to take one step closer to achieving her world title dream when she collides with France’s Victoire Piteau for the WBA Jr. Welterweight Women’s Interim World Title.
Kentucky’s Worthington has strung together three statement victories in the past year. If Worthington becomes the WBA Jr. Welterweight Women’s Interim World champion, then opportunities for fights with superstars Katie Taylor or Amanda Serrano are on the horizon.
Undefeated heavyweight prospect from Brooklyn, NY Pryce Taylor from looks to keep his KO streak alive against Saginaw native Robert Simms in an 8-round bout.
Taylor, who is fighting for the fourth time this year, is coming off of four straight stoppage victories.
In the co-main event, former WBC Junior Middleweight Champion Tony “SuperBad” Harrison will make his Salita Promotions debut against Dominican Republic’s Edward Diaz (15-6, 12 KOs).
On a mission to reclaim a world title, Harrison is set to step back into the ring for the first time since his WBO Interim Super Welterweight showdown against Tim Tszyu in 2023.
Harrison defeated Jermell Charlo in 2018 to become the WBC Super Welterweight Champion, giving Charlo his first defeat.
Non-televised bouts will feature local prospects including Flint’s Sardius Simmons, Jaquan McElroy, Leon Lawson III, Pontiac’s Cameran Pankey, Macomb’s Kahmel Makled and Detroit’s Da’Velle Smith.
