Claressa Shields is widely considered one of the greatest female boxers ever, and her latest contract highlights her status in the sport. She has signed a multi-fight agreement with Win Records and Sarita Promotions, guaranteeing at least $8 million.
In a press statement, Shields emphasized that this contract is more than just business—it’s a powerful declaration. She has spent her career fighting for equality in women’s boxing, demanding equal respect, pay, and opportunities.
This deal is notable because it bridges the worlds of boxing and music. Sarita Promotions, led by ex-WBA junior welterweight title contender Dmitry Sarita, teamed up with Wynn Records, known for artists like Papoose and Rick Ross. Details about how many fights the $8 million contract covers are still unclear.
Shields recently drew a crowd exceeding 15,000 fans at Detroit’s Little Caesars Arena and continues to impress after her win over Lani Daniels. This groundbreaking deal represents a significant investment in women’s boxing, complementing moves like the Most Valuable Promotion signing four female fighters in March.
With an undefeated record of 17-0, Shields is expected to fight early in 2026. She calls herself the “GWOAT” (Greatest Woman of All Time), a title she supports with remarkable achievements: undisputed championships in three weight divisions, world titles in five, two Olympic gold medals, and the unique distinction of being the only boxer, male or female, to hold three undisputed titles simultaneously.
Fan Take: This landmark contract not only cements Claressa Shields’s legacy but also signals a new era of recognition and investment in women’s boxing. Fighting fans should be excited, as this could lead to better pay, higher-profile fights, and more opportunities for female fighters worldwide, elevating the sport as a whole.
