Overview

  • The event takes place at Detroit’s Little Caesars Arena and will be streamed live on DAZN.
  • Shields is undefeated at 16-0 with three knockouts and secured undisputed heavyweight status after defeating Danielle Perkins in February.
  • Lani Daniels arrives with an 11-2-2 record and will fight outside New Zealand for the first time in her career.
  • Betting markets list Shields as a −10000 favorite to Daniels’s +1800 underdog odds, underscoring her dominance in women’s boxing.
  • Earlier this year, Shields overcame a one-month suspension when the Michigan Unarmed Combat Commission overturned a false-positive marijuana test due to procedural errors.
