Undefeated American boxing superstar Claressa Shields (13-0) has held multiple world championships in light middleweight, middleweight and super middleweight.
In her last bout she became the undisputed middleweight world champion as she won a unanimous decision against Savannah Marshall, who’s the only opponent to have ever defeated her (as an amateur). The massive fight took place at the O2 Arena in London, and headlined the first all-female boxing card in the UK.
With the win over Marshall, Shields became the only boxer – male or female – to ever hold all four major world titles in two weight classes simultaneously.
As an amateur, Shields wrote history as she won gold medals at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics, making her the first American boxer to win consecutive Olympic medals. She won her first Olympic gold medal at the age of 17.
