(Monday, March 8, 2021) Though final numbers are still coming in, the sometimes beleaguered sport of women’s boxing has reason for optimism today, International Women’s Day, as the historic “SUPERWOMEN: SHIELDS VS. DICAIRE” all-female pay-per-view event last Friday night (March 5), featuring two-time Olympic gold medalist and boxing superstar Claressa Shields, has already surpassed all projected sales expectations.
Held at the Dort Financial Center in Shields’ hometown of Flint, Michigan, and broadcast live globally, SUPERWOMEN: SHIELDS VS. DICAIRE saw Shields cap off a night of entertaining female fights by cementing herself in sports history as the first boxer in the four-belt era to be crowned an undisputed world champion in two separate weight divisions. By virtue of her shutout 10-round victory over previous IBF Champion Dicaire, Shields now also reigns supreme as the unified WBC, WBO, IBF and WBA Super Junior Middleweight World Champion.
Nine women have been selected to be inducted into the National Women s Hall of Fame this year, as the Seneca Falls-based organization plans to hold an in-person celebration in October. We are pleased to add these American women to the ranks of Inductees whose leadership and achievements have changed the course of American history, said Kate Bennett, co-president and induction chairwoman for the National Women s Hall of Fame.
The six living and three deceased honorees will join the 293 other women who’ve been inducted to date, including suffragists, sports and political figures, authors and entertainers. Inductees are honored every other year and are nominated by the public and judged by a team of experts across the various fields.
