Gwatu, Claressa Shields (16-0, 3 KO), will return home on Saturday, July 26, when he places his unquestionable heavyweight world championships on the line.
Shields competes in the main event in Little Caesars Arena with the prevailing world champion in IBF hefty weight from Recent Zealand, Lani Daniels (11-2-2, 1 KO). Shields vs. Daniels will be emitted live in a global boxing house in Dazn.
Shields, the most decorated boxer in history, was on the headlines at the beginning of this year, becoming the first woman who won the undisputed world championship in hefty weight – and the first boxer, man or woman, achieving the unquestioned status in three weight divisions.
The invincible and seemingly indescribable, the Flint, Mich. With the victory, Shields strengthened her place as the inaugural heavyweight champion undisputed.
The two -time gold Olympic medalist, Shields, now wants to extend his rule against the former heavyweight holder Lani Daniels, because he continues to rewrite books on one history at once.
“I am very excited that I can defend my undisputed world championships in Detroit at Little Caesars Arena,” said Shields. “My fights are becoming bigger. My opponent, Lani from Recent Zealand, comes to bring all smoke, or at least says so! This fight will sell 19,000, so get tickets and be there to be a witness to Hersor on July 26 with a gathest.”
Daniels, the invented “The Smiging Assassin”, is a former IBF heavyweight champion who wants to regain his crown and add three subsequent lanes of the world title to his collection in July.
“To be the best, you have to fight best. At a very depressed night the lightweight rose and found the truth,” said Daniels in his hometown of Maorys. “The darkest nights will rise the full moon, and the truth will be published.”
Recently signed to Salita Promotions, Daniels went down in history when she became the first fighter born in Recent Zealand, who won two world titles, and the first to win world titles in two different divisions when she defeated Desley Robinson in 2023.
In the strength of seven times wins, Daniels turned out to be a warrior inside and outside the ring. At the age of 14, Daniels tragically lost her younger brother to leukemia, sending her with a restless drug and suicidal thoughts. Today, Daniels is a master of mental health and has the opportunity to inform, educate and support mental health awareness both at home and abroad. Daniels has become an inspiration for her native country because he is still in a good deal and challenges himself in the boxing ring.
Tickets for the event in Little Caesars Arena will go on sale on Friday, May 9 and can be bought online at 313Presents.com and Ticketmaster.com or in person at the XFinity ticket office at Little Caesars Arena.

Over a hundred years ago, Jack Johnson went to Australia to become the first champion in the weight of hefty African Americans and appearing on a great challenge in lightweight, hefty master, Lanol, which this is a lasting heritage. boxing and women’s sports.

The unified WBA, WBO and Ring Magazine minimumweight champion improved to 15-0 with 12 knockouts after defeating Valdez three times before Mexico’s corner stopped the fight at 2:35 of the second round.

The Puerto Rican striker repeatedly found a home for his left hand and left no doubt about the outcome before the fight was called off.
“I felt great at 112 pounds. I love this division. In fact, I want to stay here for a long time,” Collazo said.

Collazo admitted that he had already called for the fight to be stopped.
“After the third knockdown I was basically saying, ‘Never again, never again’. It was the right decision for his safety. His corner was well checked.
