Claressa Shields achieved a significant milestone by knocking out WBC heavyweight champion Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse in the second round, marking her first stoppage victory since 2017 and earning her titles in a fourth and fifth division. Moving up two weight classes to fight at 175 pounds, Shields improved her record to 15-0 (3 KOs) and became only the second boxer in over a century, alongside Roy Jones Jr, to hold both middleweight and heavyweight titles. During the fight, Shields showcased her dominance, sending Lepage-Joanisse to the canvas three times within the second round. This victory not only solidifies Shields' status in women's boxing but also brings greater visibility to the sport. She emphasized her rigorous training and preparation, including sparring against heavier opponents. Shields, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, continues to break barriers and is considered one of the greatest athletes of her generation.
