Claressa Shields defeated Lani Daniels in a unanimous decision to retain her Undisputed Heavyweight Titles, as you can follow the fight live with round-by-round updates: 100-90 and 99-91 (x2).

Shields entered the bout riding high after her historic win over Danielle Perkins, a victory that made her the first boxer—male or female—to become undisputed in three different weight classes: 154, 160, and now heavyweight. She faced New Zealand’s Lani Daniels, who was unbeaten in her last seven outings and had captured world titles at both heavyweight and light heavyweight. Daniels was looking to shock the world, but came up short. This is how the fight played out.
