Match Details

  • Date: 2025-07-26
  • Time: 11:30 PM UTC
  • Location: Little Caesars Arena, Detroit, Michigan

Game Overview

Claressa Shields, the reigning undisputed heavyweight champion and one of the best female boxers in history, defends her title against IBF light-heavyweight champion Lani Daniels. Shields is a -5000 favorite, reflecting her dominance, while Daniels is a major underdog with no recent losses but a massive step up in competition.

Key Factors to Consider

  • Shields is undefeated (11-0-0, 2 KOs), with 4 world titles, and has beaten all recent opponents by wide margins—including a shutout of another top heavyweight contender, Danielle Perkins. Daniels is a two-division champion in New Zealand but has never faced a fighter of Shields' caliber and is moving up two weight classes. Shields stops about 50% of recent opponents, but not all early, often dominating decision wins.
  • No direct H2H history. Shields has beaten every top contender put in front of her, while Daniels is untested at this global elite level.
  • No public reports of injuries for either fighter.
  • Shields fights at home, with crowd support. The event is on a major streaming platform (DAZN), but no unusual external variables.
  • Shields is motivated to defend her undisputed titles and cement her legacy as the best female boxer ever. Daniels is motivated for the biggest opportunity of her career and the chance to shock the world.

Predicted Outcome

Shields will dominate from start to finish, using her power, speed, and experience to outclass Daniels. While an underdog miracle is always possible in boxing, the gulf in class suggests this is one of the biggest mismatches in recent women's boxing. Expect a decisive Shields victory by decision, with a small chance of a late stoppage.

Predicted Score: Claressa Shields wins by unanimous decision, scorecards 100-90, 100-90, 100-90
