Claressa Shields Continues to Dominate and Fight for Gender Equality in Boxing

Claressa Shields retains her undisputed middleweight championship title by defeating Maricela Cornejo in a 10-round main event at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. Shields, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, won by unanimous decision and was praised by Cornejo as the "greatest woman of all time." The event was a huge success, outselling Shields' last fight and generating at least 2.5 times the amount of money at the live gate. Shields is now weighing her career options, including a return to MMA and fighting in Africa, T-Mobile Arena, Madison Square Garden, and the UK.

Claressa Shields retains her undefeated, undisputed middleweight champion title after a one-sided win over Maricela Cornejo in Detroit's Little Caesars Arena. Shields dominated the fight, landing massive punches every round, while Cornejo absorbed the many power punches Shields threw throughout the fight but very rarely landed her own. Shields left her options open for her next opponent but said she will travel to Great Britain next month to attend the undisputed super middleweight title fight between champion Franchon Crews-Dezurn and challenger Savannah Marshall.
