Claressa Shields Officially Weighs In: Full Fight Night Lineup at Little Caesars Arena

Detroit is ready.

After months of build-up, interviews, and intense back-and-forth, Claressa Shields and Franchon Crews-Dezurn have officially weighed in ahead of their blockbuster rematch at Little Caesars Arena.

Shields stepped on the scale at 174 pounds, while Crews-Dezurn came in at 174.2 pounds, setting the stage for one of the most anticipated matchups in women’s boxing history.

With more than 15,000 fans expected in downtown Detroit, this isn’t just another fight night — it’s a defining moment for American boxing.


What Is Happening?

The headline event features Claressa Shields (30) defending her legacy against longtime rival Franchon Crews-Dezurn (38) in a high-stakes rematch. Their first professional meeting in 2016 ended in a unanimous decision victory for Shields — and she has remained undefeated since.

This event features:

  • 11 total fights

  • 5 additional women’s bouts

  • 3 championship fights

  • Shields’ fifth straight fight in Michigan

The card represents a powerful statement for women’s boxing and Detroit’s boxing revival.


Why Is This Fight So Important?

This fight is about more than belts.

Shields recently signed a historic multi-fight deal worth at least $8 million with Salita Promotions and Wynn Records — the largest contract ever awarded to a female boxer.

She is already:

  • A two-time Olympic gold medalist

  • Undefeated as a professional

  • A newly inducted member of the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame

Crews-Dezurn has made it clear she’s fighting to secure her future Hall-of-Fame status.

For Detroit, this fight also symbolizes boxing’s renaissance, alongside major events returning to the Fox Theatre and the reopening of the legendary Kronk Gym.


Where Is It Taking Place?

The event is hosted at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan — Shields’ fourth fight at the venue. The arena has become a central hub for championship boxing in the Midwest.


When Is The Fight?

Fight Night takes place Sunday evening in downtown Detroit, with the main event expected to headline after the undercard bouts conclude.
