Shields, from Flint, Michigan, is one of the best fighters in the women's sport today. She is the unified WBA, IBF and WBC titlist, winning middleweight, super-welterweight and super-middleweight belts previously. She is also a twice Olympic Champion, a gold medallist at London 2012 and Rio 2016.

We welcome rising star Mikaela Mayer against Alycia Baumgardner in a super chief support bout and title unification match. And there will be other major announcements to make this the biggest night ever for women’s boxing. We are so proud to be showing this unique, magical evening on Sky Sports," said Adam Smith, Sky Sports head of boxing development.
