Detroit-Claress Shields successfully defended her undisputed heavyweight crown with a unanimous decision-making victory compared to the tough Recent Zealand, Lani Daniels on Little Caesars Arena on Saturday evening.
The judges fired 100-90, 99-91, 99-91 in favor of Shields, which was on her game A.
“She fought a tough fight, and I hit Lani with massive shots,” said Shields. “I broke her to her body. I broke her on her head. I mixed her on her. Lani is simply very, very tough and I knew that she would be tough after watching her fights and I could say that she was working on her speed.”
The victory meant for the first time Shields (17-0, 3 KO) fought twice in a calendar year from 2022. She said that she welcomed all the great challenges in her career, including the retired champion Lail Ali and a potential duel with Mikael Mayer’s weight champion in 154.
“I will stop in ponderous weight and I hope that I will fight great with the Franchon crews, Che Kenneally. I want to fight Lail Ali,” said Shields. “We fought $ 15 million and we have not heard anything yet.
“I hope she saw the fight today and says:” You know what? I think I can take her. ” I hope she saw it tonight and tell us yes, but I just want the best fights and the biggest fights, and against it. “
In February, Shields passed history as the first boxer – a man or woman – to achieve the unquestioned status in three weight divisions with a unanimous decision with Danielle Perkins as a heavyweight in her hometown of Flint, Michigan.
Daniels, the prevailing IBF heavyweight champion, recently fought in September and won seven basic fights before losing to Shields. In later rounds she set a good fight.
“I knew that he just wanted to survive the round, but she tried to come, maybe about 8 or 9, but I still feel that I won each round and even beat her back with ropes,” said Shields.
Rick Rick Ross accompanied Shields during his ring before a soldered crowd of 15 369. In the first few rounds, Shields was looking for a massive shot when Daniels danced around the ring. At one point they even exchanged a few humorous pranks when Shields mocked her to get up and fight.
Shields took control in round 5, dressed in Daniels with body shots. Shields also presented his stab, catching Daniels with pristine shots in rounds 6 and 7.
In the eighth, ninth and 10th round, Daniels was able to find some successes working on ropes on the ropes, but a boxing woman for a pound for a pound and a self-styled star-“the greatest woman of all time”-she was able to take the best blows of Daniels easily with the easily landing of huge shots. Now he is looking for a modern challenge.
“These girls are simply too straightforward to overcome. As people think it’s about knockout, but it’s like I went there and won 10 straightforward rounds,” said Shields. “All these girls say all nonsense that I am now at the age of 175 and being a heavyweight champion, but when I was 154, no one is fighting me. When I was 160, I cleaned the division. Sixty -eight, I cleaned the division.”
Former WBC super shrimp master, Tony Harrison, also returned to the ring as a event of cooperation with a unanimous decision, winning with Edward Diaz from the Dominican Republic. Harrison (30-4-1, 21 KO) has not fought since 2023, when he did not lose TKO with Tim Tisz in the momentary Crown of the Super Created, but he poured Diaz (15-7, 12 KO) on Saturday to win in the 10th round.
Harrison, originating from Detroit, was equipped with full Lions equipment to represent his hometown on a huge stage, but he experienced narrowly from the ninth round, when he was cut by a mighty right shot from Diaz.
“It’s boxing. When I caught me, it wasn’t even a blow that hurt me,” said Harrison. “I really dropped out a bit. It was a bit of a flash and I should have made five push -ups, because at the moment I owe it. It was nothing that hurt me or anything, but I owe it for the fact that I am not disciplined.”
