Claressa Shields returns May 9

Undefeated three-division world champion Claressa Shields (10-0, 2 KOs) will attempt to become the first boxer in the four-belt era to become an undisputed world champion in two weight divisions when she faces unbeaten IBF super welterweight champion Marie-Eve Dicaire (17-0, 0 KOs) in a 154-pound unification bout on May 9, live on Showtime from the Dort Federal Credit Union Event Center in Shields’ hometown of Flint, Michigan.

The winner will walk away with Shields’ WBC and WBO titles, Dicaire’s IBF belt, and the WBA (super) crown. This is the first time in its 99-year history that the WBA has awarded a super champion belt to a female boxer.

  • I was wondering when someone was going to notice that there was an undefeated North American based world champion around the Claressa Shields divisions for her to fight. Dicaire won’t win this fight and probably will not come close, but I do expect her to give Shields a good fight compared to most of her other opponents.

    • toothless Trex fighting another undefeated opponent with less punching powere then her lol this opponent is 17-0 with 0 kos wow what a “safe” fight when she gonna stop trying to “weight” bully smaller fighters and step up and fight bigger harder punching opponents like the European that whooped her in the amatuers lol

      • I don’t think they’ll be fighting anytime soon: Savannah Marshall is fighting her next fight for her first pro world title – at light heavyweight.

  • Its meaningless. Shes a weak champion in a weak era. Womens boxing is exceptionally weak and those belts are superficial. This is like Andre award stuff, on steroids

    • I agree with you sir and they should have suspended her for her teams(brother) classless action of assault you gotta start making examples of ghetto trash sometime conduct yourself as professionals including your team

  • I think Shields is a very classy lady. She can box great and won 2 gold medallions and her brother is a very very handsome young man. You go boy

  • When you are 10-0 and a three division champion, that kinda says all you need to know about women’s boxing……

  • She is second person to do it
    Holly Holm has the 140,147 and 154lb titles/
