Welcome to Zuffa Boxing?
After exactly three years since Dana White announced plans to jump into the boxing world, the first card will reportedly feature one of the best women in the sport.
The Montreal Journal reported on Friday that two-time Olympic gold medalist and three-division world champion Claressa Shields (10-0, 2 KOs) will headline a December 11th card against Marie-Eve Dicaire (17-0, 0 KOs) for the unified WBC, WBO, and IBF junior middleweight titles. Shields has the WBC and WBO belts, whereas Dicaire is the IBF champ at 154 lbs.
According to the article, Zuffa Boxing’s debut will be an all-women’s card, streamed exclusively on UFC Fight Pass from Las Vegas.
