Claressa Shields will be remaining at heavyweight, at least for her next fight.

The undisputed women’s heavyweight champion will face Lani Daniels on July 26 at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan.

The news was announced Wednesday afternoon by Shields on social media, with promoter Dmitriy Salita confirming the news to BoxingScene.

Daniels, 11-2-2 (1 KOs), of Whangarei, New Zealand is the current IBF light heavyweight champion in her second reign. Despite having turned pro at 180lbs, the 5ft 8ins Shields will still have an inch and a half height advantage.

Shields, 16-0 (3 KOs), of nearby Flint is six years younger than the 36-year-old Daniels, and now holds all four major women’s heavyweight championship titles. The two-time Olympic gold medalist had previously unified titles at 154lbs, 160lbs and 168lbs.

Shields draws parallels between Shields-Daniels and Jack Johnson’s 1908 trip to New Zealand’s neighboring country Australia, when he became the first African-American to win the heavyweight championship with a decision win over Tommy Burns.

“This is more than a fight—it’s a defining moment in the evolution of boxing. Claressa is linking generations, breaking barriers, and etching her name deeper into the fabric of the sport's rich history,” said Salita.

The show will air live on DAZN.
