Overview

• Shadasia Green stunned favorite Savannah Marshall with a narrow split-decision victory at Madison Square Garden to earn a $250,000 Performance of the Night bonus.
• Green used her post-fight press conference to publicly challenge Shields, declaring the super-middleweight bout the fight to be made.
• Shields responded on social media by taunting Green’s corner and daring the new unified super-middleweight champion to step into the ring with her.
• The undefeated two-time Olympic champion holds all four heavyweight belts and is scheduled to defend them against Lani Daniels at Detroit’s Little Caesars Arena on July 26.
• While focused on her heavyweight slate, Shields has signaled a willingness to drop to super-middleweight or even 154 pounds to pursue marquee bouts, keeping the possibility of a clash with Green alive.
