Marie-Eve Dicaire: record, next fight and profile →
In late July, Showtime Sports president and general manager Stephen Espinoza outlined most of the network’s boxing schedule for the rest of the year, but not all of the televised slots had been filled and other events might still be added.
Despite the long delays attributable to the coronavirus pandemic, the parties remain committed in the rescheduling of the unification fight between champions Marie-Eve Dicaire and Claressa Shields. Mark Taffett, co-manager of Shields, made a point of reassuring that everything was still on pace to finalize the details for the IBF, WBC, WBO, WBA junior middleweight unification.
Claressa Shields was originally supposed to fight Marie-Eve Dicaire on May 9, but the showdown in Shields’ hometown of Flint, Michigan was scrapped due to the coronavirus global pandemic.
Unified middleweight and junior middleweight world champion Claressa Shields is expecting to return to the ring in the summer. Shields (10-0, 2 KOs) was due to take part in a hometown unification clash, at 154-pounds, with unbeaten Marie-Eve Dicaire (17-0, 0 KOs) of Canada, in the headline bout of a Showtime televised card in Flint, Michigan.
Claressa Shields and Marie-Eve Dicaire wish they could spend Saturday night punching each other in the face. Instead of fighting for the IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO 154-pound titles, the unbeaten women’s champions will have to settle for discussing what could happen when they actually do square off. Shields and Dicaire, who were supposed to fight Saturday night, will both be interviewed on “K9 Boxing Live,” a live stream former IBF junior middleweight champion Cornelius Bundrage will host on Salita Promotions’ YouTube channel.
