Claressa Shields is the undisputed heavyweight champ after dropping Perkins

Claressa Shields captured the undisputed heavyweight title with a unanimous decision victory over Danielle Perkins on February 2, 2025, at Dort Financial Center in Flint.
Shields became the first boxer in the four-belt era to be the undisputed champion in three different weight classes: junior middle, middle, and heavyweight.
The judges scored the fight 97-92, 99-90, and 100-89, all in favor of Shields, who dropped Perkins with a right hook in the final seconds of the match.
Shields stated she tore her labrum the previous week and struggled with her jab, saying, 'I didn’t want to let Flint down, but I really couldn’t use my jab the way that I wanted to.
