The Claressa Shields fight against Franchon Crews-Dezurn delivered on Sunday, as Shields retained her undisputed heavyweight title with a unanimous decision victory (100-90, 100-90, 100-90).

The fight came just one day after a viral brawl erupted at the weigh-in, as years of bad blood between the two fighters carried into the rematch.

In the ring, Crews-Dezurn opened with an aggressive onslaught in the early rounds, backing Shields into the ropes and attacked relentlessly. However, Shields adjusted to the pace and seized control of the bout.

The fight later shifted dramatically, as Crews-Dezurn's punches lost their power following her early blitz. She occupied the middle of the ring after abandoning movement and emptying her tank in the first half.

Shields showcased her undeniable speed and technical precision throughout the fight. She pitched a shutout on all three scorecards, improving her record to 18-0 with three knockouts. Crews-Dezurn fell to 10-3.

"I haven't seen a fight that exciting in women's boxing in a very long time, and I haven't been in one where a girl could rumble like that," Shields said afterwards. "I know the scorecards was 90 to 100, but I think she got me two rounds. I just don't know which two."

What's Next for Heavyweight Fighter Claressa Shields

Following this week's win, the champion targeted three potential opponents for her next bout.

She expressed willingness to drop to super middleweight to face Crews-Dezurn in a trilogy, while also mentioning taking on WBO and IBF champion Shadasia Green or unified super welterweight champion Mikaela Mayer.

Also on the agenda? A family.

"And then after that — what are we in 2026 right now?" she added, hugging her niece after the fight. "Like I said, this is my niece, this is not my child. But I want to have my own kids. So, in 2027, I think I want to take some time off and have my own kids."

US boxer Claressa Shields continues to stand alone, after the two-time Olympic gold medalist successfully defended her undisputed heavyweight crown with a dominant win over New Zealand fighter Lani Daniels by unanimous decision on Saturday.

"I hit Lani with some big shots," said Shields following the win. "I broke her to the body, I broke her down to the head — I mixed it up on her."

"Lani is just very, very tough, and I knew she would be tough just from watching her fights and I could tell she worked on her speed," Shields acknowledged afterwards. "She fought a hard fight."

With a 17-0 record, including three knockouts, Shields is the first boxer — man or woman — to achieve undisputed status in three weight classes.

"I'm ready for anyone. I want the biggest and best fights out there," said Shields. "I'm going to stay at heavyweight and hopefully get the big fights with Franchon Crews, Che Kenneally."

Even more, the ambitious 30-year-old is next targeting a fight with the undefeated Laila Ali, hoping to lure the 47-year-old out of retirement by putting up $15 million for the clash.

"Hopefully [Ali] saw the fight tonight and says, 'You know what? I think I can take her,'" said Shields. "So, hopefully she saw it tonight and tells us yes, but I just want to make the best fights and the biggest fights, and that's against whoever."
