Claressa Shields was simply in a class of her own. The American completely dominated Marie-Eve Dicaire from Saint-Eustache, Quebec and made history by becoming the unified super-welterweight champion at the Dort Federal Event Center in Flint, Michigan. Shields (11-0, 2 KOs) completely dominated the clash, securing a perfect score of 100-90 from the three judges. Amply deserved scores. I dominated, but I wanted to knock her out, said the champion after her victory. I just ran out of time. With this victory, she retains her World Boxing Council (WBC) and World Boxing Organization (WBO) titles; adds the International Boxing Federation (IBF) belt held by Dicaire (17-1); in addition to adding the vacant title of Super Champion of the World Boxing Association (WBA).

Claressa Shields and Marie-Eve Dicaire are set to fight for the undisputed junior middleweight championship on Friday, Mar. 5, with Shields defending the WBC and WBO titles, and Dicaire the IBF, with the vacant WBA also on the line.
Shields (10-0, 2 KO) was her usual outspoken self at today’s final presser.
“I’ve never been off boxing for 13 months and I’ve never wanted to get back in the ring so much. Training is OK and sparring is cool, but I don’t have the same intensity that I have when it comes to the fight and the belts are on the line and I’m fighting against a whole other country,” Shields said.
Claressa Shields will attempt to make history Friday night when she and Marie-Eve Dicaire headline a fight card in Shields hometown of Flint, Michigan. If Shields wins, she ll become the first boxer in history to be a two-division undisputed champion in the four-belt era. If Dicaire wins, she ll be the fifth woman to hold an undisputed championship in that time.
It will be the first time in 20 years a women s boxing match will be the main event of a pay-per-view an all-women s PPV card, put on by Salita Promotions, that intends to prove the sport has an audience that can make female fighters self-sufficient on a standalone show.
