The upcoming rematch between Claressa Shields and Franchón Crews-Dezurn is a full circle moment for both fighters.
The two first met in November 2016, a historic night where both fighters made their professional debuts against each other on the undercard of Andre Ward vs. Sergey Kovalev.
Shields, who recently took home her second Olympic gold medal, defeated Crews-Dezurn by a unanimous decision. Since their initial match-up, Shields and Crews-Dezurn have become stars in the sport, helping to take women’s boxing to unprecedented heights.
The current world champion, Shields, has earned undisputed status in three weight divisions. Crews-Dezurn became the undisputed super middleweight champion before losing the title to Savannah Marshall in 2023.
While the first fight was inconsequential, the stakes couldn’t be higher as the rematch is arguably the biggest fight of each of their careers. Shields is putting her undisputed heavyweight world championship on the line against Crews-Dezurn, who is moving up in weight, and to avenge the loss she suffered in her boxing debut.
In July, Shields scored a unanmous win against Lani Daniels. Against Crews-Dezurn, she is predicting a knockout.
“In my first fight with Franchón, I won a unanimous decision, but come February 22, I don’t have those same plans," Shields said. "I plan on putting Franchón on her back and leaving with the KO. In my last few fights, I was dealing with injuries, but now I’m 100 percent. Franchón is elite, but I am super elite, and I plan on proving that come fight night.
