Women’s boxing has become one of the most talked-about parts of the sport over the past couple of years, and that wouldn’t have been the case without two trailblazers that have allowed it to reach a new dimension. One of those women, Claressa Shields, made history once again on Friday night, as he became the first two-weight undisputed champion after seeing off a gritty challenger in the form of Marie-Eve DiCaire.
The result never looked to be in doubt, as Shields controlled long periods of the fight and was able to cruise to a unanimous points decision. However, the American would claim it was just another day at the office, as he has become so accustomed to creating history at any given opportunity.
Boxing News: History Making Night For Shields
The eyes of the boxing world would have been Shields on Friday night, but that is so often the case when the talented double Olympic champion steps foot in the ring. However, it was history that no expert would have ever thought to be likely, as she highlighted her dominance to become a two-weight unified champion. That is a feat that no male or female has ever achieved in the history of the sport. There are serious doubts whether any fighter is able to get close to the American, as she was perfect throughout the contest against DiCaire.
It was her fast start once again that rocked her opponent, and from there she was comfortably able to see out the contest by landing excellently timed powerful shots when they mattered most. However, talk with no intensify whether we are about to see the biggest women’s fight in the history of the sport.
Boxing News: Taylor Fight Could Be The Biggest Ever
Taylor has been as much of a trailblazer in women’s boxing as Shields, and the American’s promoter has teased that a fight between the two would be something that would appeal to his fighter. Taylor currently fights at two weight classes below Shields, and is the reigning undisputed lightweight champion.
Shields has previously spoken about the respect that she has for Taylor, but did admit that she is still the pound-for-pound best, and the Irishwoman is the second best. A fight between the two may not be that hard to make, as both women want to be involved in the biggest fights, and that could put them on a collision course sooner rather than later.
