Undisputed women's middleweight champion Claressa Shields is looking to make a statement in her second fight with Hanna Gabriels.
The pair will meet on June 3 live on DAZN in a number of regions and for Shields, this is a chance to prove the huge improvement in her ability inside the ring.
Shields and Gabriels first met in June 2018 for the IBF and WBA women's middleweight titles, and it was Shields who came out on top via a unanimous decision.
Since then, Shields has gone onto claim all four world titles at middleweight and has vowed to stop Gabriels ahead of their clash in Detroit.
“(I want to get the knockout) to show that I have continued to get better. Coming off a big win against Savannah Marshall, I learned a lot, and I learned that I haven’t been using some of my strengths correctly," Shields told VegasInsider.
“I’m going to use my strengths correctly against Hanna Gabriels because I already beat her unanimously. So why go in there and beat her unanimously again? How do you prove that you got better?
"Okay, You prove that you have gotten better by getting knockdowns or getting the knockout. And I believe that with my skill set and how much I've grown in the past five years that I can do that and that she's underestimating me.
“She's going to get caught, she's going to get hurt, and she's not going to know what to do, but quit when I get done with her.“
