Claressa Shields and Lani Daniels weigh in for heavyweight showdown

THE irrepressible ‘GWOAT’ of boxing, Claressa Shields, returns to action this evening when she takes on Lani Daniels in Detroit. Long seeking a challenge to match her wide-ranging skillset, Shields has found herself up at heavyweight in search of someone, or something (the weight) to test her talent.

New Zealand’s Lani Daniels, much like Shields, is barely a light heavyweight. Both looked fit and healthy on the scales ahead of the DAZN show, promoted by Dmitriy Salita tonight.
