Claressa Shields (pictured) and Franchón Crews-Dezurn will meet again in a rematch, this time in the heavyweight division with Shields' undisputed championship on the line. The rematch is booked for Little Caesars Arena in Detroit on Sunday, February 22nd.  Their first encounter took place in 2016 and marked the professional debut for both fighters. On that occasion, Shields earned a unanimous decision victory. Since then, both careers have reached elite levels. Shields has established herself as one of the most dominant fighters of the modern era, capturing world titles in multiple divisions and becoming undisputed champion at middleweight and super middleweight. Crews-Dezurn, meanwhile, became a world champion and later the undisputed super middleweight champion. Now, nearly a decade after their first meeting, both fighters will step into the ring at heavyweight to contest the division’s undisputed championship, in a bout that not only helps define the pound-for-pound hierarchy but also closes a cycle that began with their professional debuts against one another.

 

Claressa “T-Rex” Shields owns an undefeated record of 17 wins, 3 of them by knockout... Franchón “Heavy Hitting Diva” Crews-Dezurn holds a record of 10 wins and 2 losses, with 2 knockouts.
