Claressa Shields has once again cemented her legacy in boxing history, becoming the first fighter—male or female—to achieve undisputed status in three different weight divisions in the four-belt era. The self-proclaimed “GWOAT” (Greatest Woman of All Time) accomplished this remarkable feat by defeating Danielle Perkins via unanimous decision, unifying all four major heavyweight world titles.
A Dominant Performance Despite Injury
Coming into the fight, Shields was dealing with a shoulder injury, but that did not stop her from putting on a dominant display. She controlled the pace of the fight with her signature speed, precision, and defensive mastery. In the final round, she put an exclamation mark on her performance by scoring a knockdown, solidifying her victory on the judges' scorecards.
With this win, Shields improves to 16-0, further solidifying her position as one of the greatest female boxers of all time.
What’s Next for Shields?
Following her historic achievement, Shields has set her sights on Hanna Gabriels, a familiar opponent whom she previously defeated in 2018. Gabriels remains one of the few fighters to have knocked Shields down, making a potential rematch even more intriguing.
Despite her incredible accomplishments, Shields continues to advocate for greater recognition and financial rewards for women’s boxing. She has consistently expressed her frustration about the disparity in pay between male and female boxers, believing that her achievements warrant a much bigger payday.
A Legacy Like No Other
Shields' latest triumph adds another chapter to her already impressive resume, which includes Olympic gold medals and undisputed reigns at 154 lbs, 160 lbs, and now the heavyweight division. With no signs of slowing down, the question now is: Who can stop Claressa Shields?
As she continues to break barriers, boxing fans eagerly await her next move. One thing is certain—Shields is far from done rewriting the history books.
