Claressa “T-Rex” Shields will defend
the World Boxing Federation (WBF)
Womens World Heavyweight title
against undefeated Daniella Perkins
on February 2 at the Dort Financial
Center in her home-town Flint,
Michigan.
29-year-old American super star
Shields, 15-0 (3), also the current
WBF world Middleweight champion, won
the Heavyweight crown last July when
she annihilated Canada´s Vanessa
Lepage-Joanisse in two rounds in
Detroit.
A pro since 2016, the two-time
Olympic gold medallist, has
amazingly won world championships at
Super Welterweight, Middleweight,
Super Middleweight, Light
Heavyweight and Heavyweight, making
her one of the most accomplished
female boxers of all time.
In Daniella Perkins, 5-0 (2), from
Houston in Texas, she will be in
with a taller, tricky southpaw who
was also an accomplished amateur and
realises that this is likely the
biggest opportunity she will ever
get, making her determined to cause
a huge upset.
Promoted by Salita Promotions, and
billed as “Super Brawl Sunday, the
fight will headline a card broadcast
live world-wide by DAZN.
