Claress Shields faces WBO in the case of the alleged failed drug test after the unquestioned title of the ponderous master.

The WBO information letter reports that Shields did not pass the drug test after the victory over Daniele Perkins on February 2 at Detroit. WBO now wants answers or can be forced to dismantle the title shield.

Part of the official document sent to the World Boxing News on Thursday is: “The main WBO office received via e -mail, official communication from Mr. Benjamin Parker, director of the License Department, on behalf of the License Department and Regulation of the Michigan, unarmed combat committee regarding documents regarding the Document Master Massive WBO, Mrs. Claress Shields.
