Claressa Shields won the Undisputed Heavyweight title with a 10-round unanimous decision over Danielle Perkins at The Dort Financial Center in Flint, Michigan.

Shields dominated the fight and in round three rocked Perkins badly with a overhand right.

Shields continued to win every round and in the last 10 seconds of the fight landed a perfect counter right to the jaw that made Perkins glove hit the canvas.

Shields, 173.6 lbs of Flint, MI won by scores of 100-89, 99-90 and 97-92 and is now 16-0. Perkins, 177.2 lbs of Brooklyn, NY is 5-1.

Shields: “I felt strong in there. Danielle Perkins is very strong. She was definitely a problem. My skills and experience got me over it. In the last round when I scored the knockout, she got greedy. I have power. Danielle was just big and strong.”

“I was so happy to perform at home. I couldn’t believe it when I walked out and saw the amount of people who came out to support me. I was so excited. Between my walkout and everything, it was too much. I had to calm myself down and focus on the fight and on Danielle. It was an amazing homecoming.”

“Whenever I hit Danielle, especially in the third round when I stunned her and in the 10th round when I dropped her, it was like fireworks going off all over the ring. Fighting in Flint shows me that the best fans in the world are here. They make a lot of noise, and there is never a quiet round.

In a horrible display in a heavyweight bout, Brandon Moore defeated Skylar Lace via eighth round disqualication.

Both guys were deducted points in round four for holding. Lacy continued to hold for the rest of the fight. In round eight he was deducted another point for holding. Seconds later, Lacy held and pushed Moore and they both when splattering out through the middle ropes and on to a broadcast table that broke. Referee Steve Willis started a 20-count but finally stopped the count and awarded the bout to Moore at 51 seconds.

Moore, 249.4 lbs of Lakeland, FL is now 17-1. Lacy, 260.4 lbs of Indianapolis, IN is 8-1-2.

Moore: “This was all crazy because the camera man fell off the ring first and then he (Lacy) threw me out of the ring. That has never happened to me. He was holding me down, but I was able to push him off of me and jump back into the ring. I knew he wasn’t going to be able to go any more rounds against me.”

“It means everything to become champ. I know other fighters will watch this and think it was ugly, but it was because my opponent made it that way.”

Joseph Hicks remained undefeated with an seventh round stoppage over Keon Pappillon in a battle of undefeated junior middleweights.

In round one, Pappillion suffered swelling around left eye from an accidental headbutt.

In round seven, Hicks landed a chopping right that hurt Pappillon. Hicks jumped on Papillion and landed a hard flurry of punches and referee Ansel Stewart ackowleged the corner and stopped the bout at 1:35.

Hicks, 152.6 lbs of Grand Rapids, MI is 12-0 with eight knockouts. Paillion, 152.2 lbs of Lafyette, LA is 10-1-1.

Hicks: “I felt like I had the fight secured after the third round when he (Papillion) took a deep breath. It’s a dream come true to be able to fight in my home state. When you first start boxing, you dream of the crowd cheering you on while you perform doing what you love.”

Joshua James Pagan remained undefeated with a eight-round unanimous decision over Ronal Ron Ramirez in a lightweight bout.

In round one, Pagan was cut over his left eye

Pagan, 135 lbs of Grand Rapids, MI won by scores of 79-73 and 78-74 twice and is now 12-0. Ramirez, 133.8 lbs of Caracas, VEN is 16-8.

Pagan: “It’s an honor to perform on a historic card like this. This is probably the biggest event in Flint in years, especially with Claressa Shields’ movie (“The Fire Inside”). Fights are only going to get tougher from here. You are only as good as your last fight.”

Caroline Veyre won an eight-round unanimous decision over Carmen Vargas in a featherweight bout

In round two, Vargas began to bleed from her right eye.

Veyre, 123.1 lbs of Montreal won by scores of 80-72 on all cards and is now 9-1. Vargas, 124 lbs of Houston is 5-3-1.

Ashleyann Lozada made a successful pro debut with a four-round unanimous decision over previously undefeated Denise Moran in a super bantamweight bout.

Lozada landed 59 of 145 punches. Moran was 22-109.

Lozada, 122.6 lbs of Corozal, PR won by scores of 40-36 on all cards and is 1-0. Moran, 122.8 lbs of Cathedral City, CA is 3-1.

DETROIT (Jan. 24, 2025)– Three heavyweight bouts led by headliner and hometown hero the GWOAT Claressa Shields taking on towering Danielle Perkins for the Undisputed Heavyweight World Championship will be featured during “SUPER FIGHT SUNDAY” on February 2 from the Dort Financial Center and airing live on the premier global sports platform DAZN (8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT).

Two new Salita Promotions heavyweight signees, Brandon Moore and Pryce Taylor, will also be in action as Moore (16-1, 10 KOs) takes on Indianapolis’ Skylar Lacy (8-0-2, 6 KOs) for the USBA Vacant Heavyweight Title in the co-featured bout. Taylor (5-0, 3 KOs) will return to fight in Flint after just six weeks as he squares off against Denver, CO’s Jerrell Nettles (4-10, 1 KO).

Tickets for the live event are on sale now and can be purchased online HERE or in person at the Dort Financial Center Box Office. 

In addition to the heavyweights, Michigan’s top boxing talent will once again be on full display.

Hailing from Grand Rapids, Mich., undefeated fan-favorite Joseph Hicks (11-0, 7 KOs) returns to action when he takes on Louisiana’s Keon Papillion (10-0-1, 7 KOs) in a welterweight showdown. In his last outing, Hicks scored a unanimous decision victory against Ronnie Austion last September. This will arguably be Hicks’ toughest test to date as Papillion enters this televised bout on the strength of a second-round stoppage victory over Rondale Hubbert last September.

“I do not know much about my opponent, but I know that he is extremely durable,” said Hicks. “It is a blessing to perform in Flint once again. Flint has become a home away from home for me. Salita Promotions has put together an incredibly strong card, and it’s an honor to share the stage with the GWOAT Claressa Shields and some of the upcoming talent from Flint.”

Also featured on the televised card is undefeated Joshua James Pagan (11-0, 4 KOs) of Grand Rapids, Mich., who looks to continue his dominance in the ring when he squares off against Venezuela’s Ronal Ron (16-7, 13 KOs). The 25-year-old Pagan is coming off his first fight internationally last October when he defeated the grizzled Haskell Rhodes in Puerto Rico.

Coming from a rich bloodline of fighters, Leon Lawson III (16-1, 9 KOs) returns to the Dort Financial Center on the heels of an emphatic knockout victory over Argentina’s Luis Alberto Veron in September. Opposite the Flint star, Christopher Thompson (9-2, 6 KOs) of Kansas City, Mo., will be a tough out as he started his career with nine straight wins after turning pro in 2020.

It will be yet another Flint fighter opening up the night of fights as rising Jaquan McElroy (2-0, 1 KO) will take on Nathan Mitchell (1-3, 1 KO) of Senatobia, Miss.

Newly signed Salita Promotions prospect Canada’s Carolyne Veyre (8-1) squares off against Carmen Vargas (5-2-1) of Houston, Texas, in a highly anticipated vacant Women’s WBA Intercontinental Featherweight Title bout. A former Olympian, the reigning WBC International Featherweight Champion Veyre aims to make a statement following her dominant win over Gabriela Bouvier last December.

Opening up the televised main card and recently signed to the Salita Promotions banner, the first-ever female Olympic boxer in Puerto Rico, Ashleyann Lozada,will make her professional debut against Denise Moran (3-0) of San Diego, Calif. The 2023 Pan American Games bronze medalist Lozado boasts a decorated amateur career and looks to showcase her skills in her televised debut.

In a quick turnaround following an impressive unanimous decision victory last December, the undefeated Samantha Worthington (10-0, 7 KOs) fighting out Folsom., Calif., looks to claim another statement victory in the women’s super lightweight division against Lithuania’s Vaida Masiokaite (10-26-1, 1 KO).

SAN DIEGO, Calif. (April 9, 2024) —Heavyweight prospect Richard Torrez Jr., the U.S. Olympic silver medalist who has knocked out every man he’s faced, hopes to extend his streak of fallen foes. Torrez steps up against fellow unbeaten Brandon Moore on Saturday, May 18 at Pechanga Arena San Diego.

The eight-round televised opener joins a loaded bill headlined by the vacant WBO lightweight world title showdown between Mexican three-weight world champion Emanuel “Vaquero” Navarrete and Ukraine’s Denys Berinchyk.

He has five first-round knockouts on his ledger, including a first-round TKO over Don Haynesworth last month in Glendale, Arizona. The high school valedictorian who can complete a Rubik’s cube in minutes hopes to solve his most difficult professional puzzle. Moore (14-0, 8 KOs), a 6-foot-6 boxer-puncher from Lakeland, Florida, signed with Top Rank last year. He has since won a pair of eight-round shutouts, turning away Robert Simms last November and overcoming a hard-charging Helaman Olguin in March.
