Claressa Shields defeated Canadian Marie-Eve Dicaire by unanimous decision to become the first female boxer in the four-band era (since 2004), male or female, to become the undisputed champion in two divisions.

Shields retained his WBC and WBO junior middleweight titles while claiming Dicaire’s IBF crown and the vacant WBA world title.

The fight took place in his hometown of Flint, Michigan (USA). All three judges scored 100-90 for the American Fighter who rates himself as the best of all time. Shields landed 116 of 409 punches and Dicaire landed 31 of 263. Shields landed punches in seven of 10 rounds.

“Yes,” Shields said after the fight. It marked the first time in 20 years that a women’s boxing match had been the main event of a pay-per-view.

Shields will make his MMA debut in June with the Professional Fighters League against a yet to be determined opponent.
