On August 19 in Hollywood, Florida, Claressa Shields will have her second professional MMA fight. The details of the American's performance have not yet been officially confirmed. The 26-year-old made her cage debut in early June, winning by TKO in the third round over Britney Elkin.

Shields signed with the Professional Fighters League. The American wants to combine boxing performances with MMA fights. Shields had her last boxing fight in March, defeating Marie Yves Dicker.

Shield is going to return to the boxing ring in the fall and is considering options for fights with Savannah Marshall or Jessica McCaskill.
