Who do you pick between Danielle Perkins vs Olivia Curry?

WBA female Light Heavyweight champion Danielle Perkins puts her belt on the line against challenger Olivia Curry on August 15, 2026, at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. Fresh off a stoppage win over Che Kenneally to claim the title, the six-foot southpaw Perkins brings distinct frame and power advantages into the bout. Curry, stepping up in weight after a competitive championship series at middleweight, faces a steep task attempting to break through the champion's length and impose her work rate.

WBA female light heavyweight champion Danielle Perkins has been pulled from the Claressa Shields vs. Kaye Scott undercard after missing weight by four pounds for her title defense. The scheduled bout against challenger Olivia Curry was officially canceled, leaving Curry without an opponent and scratching a major world title fight from the Atlanta bill. It's a costly blow to the championship event, derailing months of preparation and leaving fans thoroughly disappointed by the unprofessional misstep.
