Claressa Shields Dominates Lani Daniels to Defend Undisputed Heavyweight Crown in Detroit

Claressa Shields once again proved why she’s the GWOAT (Greatest Woman of All Time) this past weekend, defending her undisputed heavyweight championship in front of a sold‑out crowd of 15,366 at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit.

Shields controlled the entire fight against New Zealand’s Lani Daniels, earning a commanding unanimous decision victory with scores of 100‑90, 99‑91, and 99‑91. From the opening bell, Shields dictated the pace, landing crisp combinations to both the head and body, while Daniels struggled to mount any consistent offense.

With this win, Shields improved her professional record to 17‑0 (3 KOs) and solidified her status as the only boxer in history — male or female — to become undisputed champion in three different weight divisions during the four‑belt era.

The night also featured the return of former world champion Tony Harrison, who won by unanimous decision despite a late knockdown, and a dominant performance by rising heavyweight Pryce Taylor.

At just 30 years old, Claressa Shields continues to reign supreme, with talks already swirling about her potentially dropping back down in weight for future blockbuster matchups.
