Claressa Shields beats Crews-Dezurn to retain heavyweight title

“She was trying to cause an upset and got me with some shots.

“She’s a heavy-hitting diva and that’s one of the best fights I’ve been in my professional career, especially at 10 rounds. It was fun. I had to watch my ass every round.

“I think today I showcased my skills, my offence, my defence and body shots. I almost had her out in round seven, but she just wouldn’t go.”

Shields beat Crews-Dezurn three times as an amateur and on their professional debuts in 2016.
