Claressa Shields Defends WBF World Heavyweight Title July 26.
Detroit, Michigan (July 11th, 2025)– The G.W.O.A.T., Claressa Shields will defend her World Boxing Federation (WBF) world heavyweight title on July 26 in Detroit,
Michigan, USA against current IBF world Light Heavyweight champion Lani
Daniels from New Zealand.
The fight will be the main event of a big show promoted by Salita
Promotions at the Little Caesars Arena, broadcast live world-wide by
DAZN.
Shields, 16-0 (3), who is one of the most accomplished female fighters
of all time and has won world titles at Super Welterweight,
Middleweight, Super Middleweight; light Heavyweight and Heavyweight, won
the WBF title in July of 2024 when she stopped Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse
in two rounds.
In Daniels, 11-2-2 (1), she will be facing an opponent who is going up
in weight, but has already held a world title at Heavyweight. In 2023
she won and defended the IBF world Heavyweight title, before dropping
down to win the IBF world title at Light Heavyweight in December of that
same year.
Last September she defended her world title with a clear unanimous
decision over undefeated Nigerian Bolatito Oluwole, and now she is ready
to return to Heavyweight for what will be the biggest fight of her life
against Shields.
