Claressa Shields, one of combat sports' most outstanding fighters sets out to make history on Saturday (February 2), live on DAZN.
The American takes on countrywomen Danielle Perkins, with the victor becoming the first ever female undisputed world heavyweight champion, claiming the IBF, WBC and WBO titles.
If that is Shields, the self-proclaimed 'GWOAT', that will make it three different weight divisions she has claimed the undisputed crown.
For the unbeaten Perkins, Saturday represents a true shot at stardom if she upsets the home favourite in Flint, Michigan.

DAZN News breaks down why this is a fight not to be missed.
Best fighter on the planet?
A two-time Olympic Gold medallist, a world champion in five weight classes, and one of only four boxers, male or female, to be an undisputed champion in two divisions.
And she has done all this before turning 30!
Claressa Shields is one of the best fighters on the planet, simple as. She is not someone to be missed when she is in the ring or competing in MMA in the PFL's smart cage.
The GWOAT’s return
Shields, 15-0, has long represented Flint, Michigan when travelling the world collecting multiple honours and now, she can expect a warm welcome as she returns home.
With a huge crowd predicted, the stage is set for a historic night.
Will she become the first ever female undisputed world heavyweight champion?
A huge upset possible?
After winning a World Championship Gold as an amateur, Danielle Perkins has not put a foot wrong since turning pro.
The 6ft southpaw is five from five, with two knockouts.
The way to become a superstar is by defeating one, but can she pull off a huge shock by defeating Shields?

Shields delivering a message
Shields has long stated she is the world’s best female boxer. But Alycia Baumgardner, Natasha Jonas, and, old rival, Savannah Marshall may say otherwise.
A decisive victory over Perkins will send a reminder to all that she truly is the GWOAT.
Whether it is in the boxing ring or switching to the Professional Fighters League, another impressive victory will only build Shield's confidence and determination to beat all future challengers.
