Claressa Shields Becomes Undisputed Women’s Heavyweight Champion

Claressa Shields Defends Women's Undisputed Heavyweight Title

In boxing results tonight the Claressa Shields vs Danielle Perkins fight has just been completed for the women’s heavyweight title.

The fight started off as a feeling out one for both boxers.

It then picked up a bit but was largely a chess match, with Shields hurting Perkins in round three with a powerful combination, the most noteworthy action early on.

Shields went on to largely control the fight with her boxing and although had a big height, reach, size and some weight disadvantage in this one tonight, was a cut above in the boxing pedigree department.

Then, right at the end, in the final round, Shields dropped Perkins before the final bell with a huge straight right hand counter.

A shot she had been trying to land a lot during the fight but had some trouble finding range against the taller opponent at times.

The judges gave the fight to Shields by UD.

The win for Claressa Shields gave Perkins her first loss as a pro.

It extended Shields’ unbeaten run as a professional to 16-0-3 KO and defended her world women’s undisputed heavyweight title.
