The 'GWOAT,' Claressa Shields, Gets Back in the Ring Saturday Night
Atlanta honored Claressa Shields for her Olympic gold and two-division title run as she prepares for a 30-1 favorite bout with Kaye Scott.
- On Saturday, August 15, 2026, Atlanta and Fulton County proclaimed 'Claressa GWOAT Shields Appreciation Day' to honor the undisputed heavyweight champion ahead of her fight against WBC and WBA middleweight champion Kaye Scott at State Farm Arena.
- The 31-year-old boxer previously received honorary days in Flint and Detroit, expressing surprise at the Atlanta recognition: 'I have all types of days and proclamations in Flint and Detroit, but now I got days in Atlanta?'
- This historic card marks the first time women's boxing has headlined an event at State Farm Arena, with Shields entering at 18-0 while Scott holds a 5-1-1 record.
- Recently, Shields launched 'Her Corner,' a local initiative recognizing Atlanta leaders who embody resilience and service, after pushing her team to finalize the fight in the city.
- As a 30-1 favorite, Shields aims to reclaim two former titles and become a simultaneous two-division champion tonight, though she must defeat Scott to prevent the day from becoming a 'painful reminder instead of a celebration.
