Claressa Shields Vs. Lani Daniels Results, Highlights And Reactions
Claressa Shields (Photo by) Getty Images Claressa Shields ran her professional record to a perfect 17-0 as she won a unanimous decision over Lani Daniels at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan on Saturday. The judges scored the fight 100-90 and 99-91 twice. Shields was on the attack from the beginning. She stalked Daniels looking to land big shots, but the challenger showed strong defensive skills, evading almost all of the GWOAT's heavy punches in the early rounds. While Daniels didn't score with much and was rightfully shut out on one judge's card, she did appear to frustrate Shields with her movement. Shields was able to slow Daniels down as she began to go to the body. Daniels then was resigned to trade punches with Shields, and while she showed toughness, she was no match for the multi-division champion and future Hall-of-Famer. The crowd in Detroit cheered on the hometown star as she continued to land more frequently and convincingly, especially in the final rounds. The best moment of the fight came during an exchange in the ninth round when Shields' speed and punching prowess were on full display. She lit Daniels up with hard shots, but the tough New Zealander took them and soldiered on. There was no controversy in the result, and reactions from around the boxing world followed swiftly. DAZN Boxing's X channel gave a glimpse of Shields' best moments in the fight: Devin Haney and Shakur Stevenson appeared to poke fun at Daniels' approach. The challenger did a lot of running—especially early in the fight: All the Smoke Boxing captured a microcosm of the fight in one post: After the fight, Shields talked about Daniels' avoiding the fight, but moved on quickly to mention her next moves. This bout was Shields' last on her contract with Salita Promotions, and Dmitry Salita stood by her side in what may be the final moment of their partnership. It felt like Shields will be moving on to sign with a larger promoter, but she made sure to publicly credit Salita for guiding her to this point in her career. Quite honestly, it will be tough for Salita to retain Shields. He'll be hard-pressed to match what Matchroom or MVP Promotions can offer the GWOAT. A move to Eddie Hearn or Jake Paul wouldn't be surprising—and would make future bouts with Shadasia Green, Savannah Marshall, or any other major name in women's boxing much easier to secure. Daniels didn't speak on camera after the fight, but she does deserve credit for the defense and toughness she displayed in a loss. I'd suspect Shields' next fight to be a major event on Netflix or DAZN under a new promoter. She's on the cusp of taking another step in her already legendary career.

Daniel Dubois urged to use Frank Bruno as inspiration after crushing Usyk defeat
Dubois lost for the third time in his career after he was stopped in the fifth round at Wembley on Saturday night to new undisputed world heavyweight champion Usyk. British boxer Dubois (22-3, 21KOs) played his part in four highly-competitive rounds but was put down by a vicious right punch and while he bravely made the count, Usyk delivered a sensational left hit titled 'Ivan' to bring the rematch to a close. The ringside angle of 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗧 left hand by Oleksandr Usyk🎯#UsykDubois2 — DAZN Boxing (@DAZNBoxing) July 19, 2025 It means former IBF-belt holder Dubois is back in rebuild territory – like in 2023 after his first loss to Usyk in Poland – and Queensberry chief Frank Warren challenged the 27-year-old to regroup again. Warren talked up the example of Dubois' compatriot Bruno, who lost his first three world titles fights before he finally clinched the WBC belt in his 44th bout back in 1995. Asked how long Dubois will need out of the ring, Warren said: 'About six months out. It won't be before then. 'I thought up until that (fifth) round it was a pretty good fight to watch. Daniel is obviously very disappointed. 'He has got to learn from it. He is only 27. I look at Frank Bruno for example, three times he fought for a world title and he got it on the fourth attempt. 'Daniel has won a world title so hopefully he will come back, but the bottom line is it was Usyk's night and he is a special, special boxer.' Dubois earned this opportunity after a golden 10-month period where he stopped Jarrell Miller, Filip Hrgovic and Anthony Joshua, but Usyk again showed the difference in level at the summit of the blue-riband division. Warren felt Dubois got 'careless' during round five after he had pushed Usyk early on during a pulsating contest in London. 'That is what Daniel needs to learn from this fight, to try and learn and develop the mental attitude that Usyk has,' Warren explained. 'Daniel didn't stick to the task, he got careless, he dropped his hands and paid the price. 'For Daniel now, he'll have a little break, think about things and he has got to resurrect himself. 'What level? He's got to come back and make a statement. He needs to make a statement against a quality fighter like he did last time. A post shared by DAZN Boxing (@daznboxing) 'There are lots of fighters over the years who have been beaten and come back even stronger. That is what he has to do. 'He can punch, he can hurt you and it's just developing other aspects of his game.' Dubois' trainer Don Charles backed his fighter to bounce back, with Joseph Parker a potential option in 2026 if Usyk was to vacate his WBO title or low-key domestic bouts with Derek Chisora, Dillian Whyte or Joe Joyce, who won their first encounter five years ago. Charles added: 'We tried to get going. He is a young champion Daniel Dubois, 27 years old, remarkable what he has achieved to date. 'He will be back from this stronger. Usyk is a generational great, if you're going to lose to someone, lose to someone like that. He'll be back from this.'

Daniel Dubois urged to use Frank Bruno as inspiration after crushing Usyk defeat
Daniel Dubois is not expected to fight for at least six months but has been urged to draw inspiration from Frank Bruno in his attempt to bounce back from a second defeat to Oleksandr Usyk.
