Shields, 29, is undefeated in 14 pro fights and was the first fighter, male or female, to be undisputed champion in two weight classes in the four-belt era.<\/p>\n

The two-time Olympic champion has been world champion at middleweight, light-middleweight and super-middleweight.<\/p>\n

Irishwoman Taylor replicated Shields’ undisputed achievement last year<\/a>, while Puerto Rico’s Amanda Serrano is a seven-weight world champion.<\/p>\n

“Everyone is talking about who’s the GWOAT? Who’s undefeated? Who got the most belts?,” Shields added.<\/p>\n

“Who made the million dollars last couple of time she fought? Without a promoter giving her a handout? That’s what a GWOAT is. Who fights the best?<\/p>\n

“Who don’t struggle in fights no matter what size? Exactly.<\/p>\n

“All that comparison about who the GWOAT is, I can go to any weight class and win. That’s who the GWOAT is.”<\/p>\n

The WBC title Shields challenges for is classified as ‘heavyweight’ by the sanctioning body, but it is contested at the light-heavyweight limit of 12st 7lb (175lb), hence why the fight is being advertised as both at heavyweight and light-heavyweight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
