(FEB 17) FLINT, MICHIGAN – On March 5, 2021, at the Dort Federal Event Center, in Flint,  there will be five female bouts on this boxing card  entitled, “Super Women: Shields vs. Dicaire”.  The mainliner features Claressa "T-Rex" Shields vs. Marie-Eve Dicaire, where the two will be fighting for the WBC, IBF, WBO, and WBA Super welterweight titles. This is NOT an all-women's boxing card---there are two male bouts also on the card. 

In the co-main event, Danielle Perkins (2-0, 1 KO) of Houston, Texas, will fight in an eight-round against Georgia’s Monika “Lay Em Down” Harrison (2-1, 1 KO). In the rematch, the two will be vying for the WBC Silver Heavyweight championship.

In another female bout will feature Logan "The Golden Girl" Holler (photo above)  (9-0-1, 3 KO) of Columbia, South Carolina vs. Schemelle Baldwin (3-1-2, 2 KO) over eight tough rounds.

Baldwin will definitely have her work cut out for her when she takes on Holler---as Baldwin's previous opponents--five them had winless records for the exception of fighting Alicia Napoleon Espinosa, 11-1-0, where she was stopped in the fourth round by TKO in a scheduled 10-round bout. They were fighting for a WBA title belt in the Super Middleweight division.

The all-female boxing event is dedicated to this year’s International Women’s Day (Monday, March 8, 2021) and the card is presented by Salita Promotions in association with Groupe Yvonne Michel.

Press Release information:

Undefeated 6' 198-lb Danielle Perkins (Photo Above) was already a world-class athlete before boxing, as she played collegiate basketball for St. John’s University, making two trips to the NCAA Tournament, followed by a professional basketball career in Europe. After an automobile accident left her temporarily paralyzed, Perkins underwent a rigorous rehabilitation program and then dedicated herself to boxing. The towering southpaw won the USA National Championships, and then as a member of Team USA, won the 2019 World Championships in Russia, becoming the first American man or woman to win a world championship since Claressa Shields in 2016. Perkins trains under the tutelage of James Cooper.

“I'm excited to be a part of such an historic all-female card on March 5,” said Perkins. “I admire what Claressa Shields has done as a trailblazer for women’s boxing and I want to bring the same thing to the heavyweight division.”

Once-beaten Monika Harrison started in combat sports as a kickboxer, 17 years ago. The intimidating slugger has had trouble finding opponents in both the amateur and professional ranks but seems to have found a heated rival in Perkins. The pair fought to an exciting four-round decision victory for Perkins last August, but Harrison had her moments and says she’s making the adjustments to even the score this time. A construction worker, originally from Georgia and residing in New Jersey, Harrison turned professional in 2018, and once fought highly touted undefeated prospect Lei’D Tapa to a four-round draw. Tapa never fought again.

A natural to the sport, Columbia, South Carolina, native Logan Holler started boxing as a way to stay in shape, but quickly found she had a knack. A lifelong athlete from an athletic family, Holler’s father played football player for the Green Bay Packers and legendary coach Vince Lombardi. Holler was an equestrian before finding the ring. She earned a Division 1 scholarship to the University of South Carolina’s Equestrian team where she helped them win the SEC Championship. Holler says she had trouble finding amateur fights in South Carolina, so she turned professional in 2014 without ever having fought and has gone on to turn heads by going unbeaten since then. Holler is also a devout Christian. She is trained by former fighter Dominic Robinson-Neal.

"I am excited to be a part of such a great event featuring an all-female card making history on this PPV,” said Holler. “I am looking forward to putting on a strong performance and making a statement as I continue down the path toward a world title shot."

The event  will also be be live streamed on FITE.TV and distributed by InDemand to the major cable, satellite and telco outlets for just $29.95. To pre-order the fights, click this link: https://www.fite.tv/watch/shields-vs-dicaire/2p8qn/.
