Fresh off of her heavyweight title win over Danielle Perkins, Claressa Shields is setting her sights on a rematch of her 2022 fight with Savannah Marshall — but this one she wants to stage at heavyweight according to her promoter Dmitry Sailta. Shields took a unanimous decision win over Marshall in their first meeting at the middleweight division.

Salita says he’s formally reached out to Marshall’s team about their interest and hopes to bring the fight to fruition, adding that Shields additional power at heavyweight makes her an even bigger threat to score a knockout.

“We’ve had general discussions over the past several months and have expressed our interest in making the rematch happen,” Dmitry Salita, Shields’ promoter, told Sky Sports. “I believe she will stop Savannah with the power she possesses at heavyweight.”

If this proposed rematch is to gain any traction Salita says the fight would need to be either staged in the US or in a neutral location and not in England where they fought the first time. Shields is as accomplished as they come at this point and would appear to be angling for an opponent that will bring as much money and notoriety as possible, with Marshall being a significant name in women’s boxing.

 

Undefeated Claressa Shields will return to the ring this weekend to face Danielle Perkins in a women’s undisputed heavyweight title fight, which will be broadcast via Salita Promotions PPV.

As a professional, Shields has an unbeaten record in 15 fights, to establish herself as one of the best female boxers in the United States, so she already has $500,000 purses for her fights against Maricela Cornejo and Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse, according to NY Fight and SportsPayouts. This same purse will be her pay for this fight against Perkins

Before that fight, her maximum earnings were estimated at $350,000 for her fights against opponents such as Savannah Marshall and Ema Kozin. However, on this occasion her purse will not include an additional bonus from PPV sales, although she will receive income from sponsorships and television revenue.

Shields has sponsorships such as: Nike, Puma and Under Armour and has been sponsored by Monster Energy, Swimsuits For All, Audi and Powerade, which helped her to shore up her professional career

Claressa Shields added another knockout to her résumé to cement her status as one of the most decorated women’s boxers ever to step in the ring.

Shields dropped Danielle Perkins with less than 20 seconds left in the 10th and final round of the championship bout to put an exclamation point on a dominant win by unanimous decision (100-89, 97-92, 99-90). In front of a raucous, supportive crowd at the Dort Financial Center in Flint, her hometown, on Sunday night, Shields (16-0, 3 KOs) clinched an undisputed title to become first boxer to win undisputed titles at three different weight classes. Perkins (5-1, 2 KOs) fought until the end but ended the fight on the mat

Shields came out on the front foot with early pressure. Using her speed advantage, Shields closed the gap between her and the bigger Perkins to consistently get in range to throw bunches of right hooks and overhands, accompanied with a near-constant left jab.

Perkins withstood the assault and seemingly found more energy in the final three rounds and started landing powerful jabs and uppercuts on Shields, but eventually the aggression came back to bite. Perkins was searching for a late finish, but left herself open to a big right hook that dropped her to end the fight in the final seconds.

Shields-Perkins headlined a night of nine fights in the “Vehicle City”, including four women’s fights. Brandon Moore won the co-main event over Skylar Lacy via disqualification for the vacant USBA men’s heavyweight title. Three other boxers from Michigan Leon Lawson III, Joseph Hicks and Joshua James Pagan — also won their fights with Hicks and Lawson winning by technical knockout.

Shields becomes the first American heavyweight, male or female, to win an undisputed championship since Riddick Bowe in 1992. Shields also maintained her perfect 16-0 record along with adding another championship belt in a fifth weight class.
