Say hello to boxing’s first-ever women’s undisputed heavyweight champion.
Claressa Shields made history in her hometown of Flint, Mich. defeating Danielle Perkins by unanimous decision.
In her win, Shields became the only multi-division champion, male or female, in the four-belt era.
Shield is 16-0, including 3 KOs. Her strength is her strong jab, but that was a non-factor in her fight on Sunday night.
In a post-fight interview, she explained that she could not use her powerful jab because of a torn labrum in her left shoulder just nine days before the fight.
With this win, Shields is now crowned the undisputed No.
