Hailed as the greatest female boxer of her generation, Claressa Shields continues to dominate the boxing world with her unparalleled prowess. The Flint, Michigan native, who holds a perfect record of 14 wins and no losses, is scheduled to speak at the upcoming Benzinga 2024 Draft Event in Detroit.
A Record-Breaking Career
Shields, who first captured public attention by securing gold medals at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics, has surpassed numerous records in her illustrious career. She is notably the first male or female boxer to claim undisputed championship titles in two different weight classes during the four-belt era, a remarkable feat in the highly competitive sport of boxing.
Her recent triumph over Savannah Marshall in the U.K. marked a significant milestone. With a strategic unanimous decision victory, she avenged her only amateur loss. This match, celebrated as the most-viewed women’s professional boxing event ever, attracted over 2 million viewers.
Continued Success In Michigan
In June 2023, Shields returned to Michigan, where she defended her titles against Maricela Cornejo at the Little Caesars Arena. Despite the last-minute opponent change, Shields dominated the match, leading to a comprehensive victory. Her performance solidified her status in boxing and showcased her ability to engage and captivate the local audience.
