Summary at a Glance

Shields’ victory over Perkins in Michigan earlier this month was historic as she became the first boxer – male or female – to win undisputed titles in three different weights in the four-belt era.

Shields, undefeated in 16 professional bouts, was left delighted after she made boxing history against heavyweight Perkins this month.

Boxing star Claressa Shields has been suspended by the Michigan Unarmed Combat Commission after testing positive for marijuana.

‘I believe that I decided I was the ‘Greatest Woman of All Time’ when I won my second Olympics,’ Shields told DAZN’s Off the Cuff in 2023.

Marijuana is banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) with Shields strongly insisting last week that she was a ‘clean athlete’ on social media.
