Claressa Shields will make her return to middleweight to face Kaye Scott for her WBA and WBC titles on August 15 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
The card will be streamed live on DAZN.
Shields (18-0, 3 KOs), a two-time U.S. Olympic gold medalist and who has become an undisputed champion in three divisions, last fought at middleweight in 2023 when she beat Maricela Cornejo by unanimous decision. Her last three bouts have been at heavyweight.
Shields, 31, last fought on February 22, beating Franchon Crews Dezurn by unanimous decision in their rematch.
The 42-year-old Scott (5-1-1) of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, won the then-vacant WBA and WBC titles in December with a majority decision victory in her rematch against Olivia Curry.
