Both fighters faced off in their pro debuts in 2016, with Shields (17-0) beating Crews-Dezurn (10-2) via unanimous decision. The former also beat Crews-Dezurn in the amateurs.
Shields has held all the gold at middleweight, super welterweight, and heavyweight. The two-time Olympic gold medalist beat Lani Daniels at the Little Caesars Arena in July and competes at the venue for the fourth time.
Since winning gold, Shields has proven to be a pound-for-pound star. A force, she believes the result will be the same against Crews-Dezurn.
"I’m way stronger than what I was in 2016," Shields said via BoxingScene. "I was just 21 back then. I’m also way more skilled as far as my boxing. I’ve learned how to turn over my punches and time my punches… I’m super calm now inside the ring. I think I box better.
"She [Crews-Dezurn] has gotten somewhat better, too, but I have gotten extremely better. I was great back then, but I’m greater now."
Since the loss, Crews-Dezurn became undisputed at super middleweight. She currently holds the WBA and WBC titles and is ready to take down one of the top fighters in the sport.
