Claressa Shields is to return to action on Sunday, February 2, the main at the main event of Dazna from her hometown of Flint, Mich.
Shields (15-0, 3 KO) will defend his heavyweight WBC title against Danielle Perkins (5-0, 2 KO), a 42-year-old who changed a professional at the age of 37 in 2020.
If you have never blessed Perkins, and you are wondering if he has justified shots in covering 29-year-old Shields, which is probably the best boxer of women in history, the answer is “no”, except for injury, a miracle or more liquids and miracles.
But this is a position in which Shields’s boxing career is located. She is undisputed on the leg in 154, 160 and 168, and now he basically fights in “Claressaweight” because there are no pretenders on the right weights that there is no approach, and simply there is no real encouragement to cut more than fails, because competition and cash potential are circumscribed at a quite clear level.
This is not her fault, remember, except that she is simply too good on the pitch and for quite a lot, and she has already defeated everyone.
Shields recently fought on July 27 in Detroit, winning victory in the second round because of the unfortunate Vanessa Joanisse in a fight, which had ponderous and lithe heavyweight titles on the line, partly because no division really exists in women’s boxing, so you can do it.
Perkins, not a coincidence, fought with this basis, winning a six -leaf decision over Christianne Fahey. Perkins was about 175 years that night, just like Shields, and fought as strenuous as 200 pounds. He is a gigantic (6’0 “), physically sturdy warrior, but the difference in the skill level will be huge, as in the case of Shields and Joanisse.
