Fight Preview

The world’s most celebrated female boxer will be back in action in mid-August, as Claressa Shields targets more gold. The American will challenge Kaye Scott for the WBA and WBC middleweight titles in Atlanta, Georgia.

Shields will undeniably be the favorite at the VegasOdds available. She has a perfect 18-0 record in the ring, with her high ring IQ typically seeing her wear down opponents before scoring dominant victories on points.

The 31-year-old was last in action earlier this year, as she successfully defended the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and WBF female heavyweight titles with a dominant win against Franchon Crews-Dezurn in Michigan.

Kaye Scott is a relatively inexperienced professional, but she dominated at the amateur level, winning multiple World Championship and Commonwealth medals across three different weight classes.

Scott turned pro in November 2023, winning her first four bouts before losing to Desley Robinson in a showdown for the IBF middleweight title. She bounced back to win the WBA and WBC titles in the same weight class in December 2025, dominating from start to finish against Olivia Curry.

Kaye Scott vs. Claressa Shields Picks

Scott should have the height and reach advantage to cause problems for Shields in Georgia. However, the American always finds a solution to problems that she faces in the ring, meaning that we fully expect her to capture more gold via a points win.
