THE GWOAT VS THE DIVA!!!

Claressa Shields vs. Franchon Crews‑Dezurn: The Rivalry Renewed

Claressa Shields (17‑0, 3 KOs) returns to defend her Undisputed Heavyweight Championship, and standing across from her is a familiar face—Super Middleweight Champion Franchon Crews‑Dezurn (10‑2, 2 KOs). The GWOAT and The Hard‑Hitting Diva have been trading words on social media and at the press conference, but their history runs much deeper than the recent back‑and‑forth.

Before they met in their professional debuts, Shields defeated Crews‑Dezurn twice in the amateurs on her path to becoming a two‑time Olympic gold medalist, while Crews‑Dezurn served as an Olympic alternate in both cycles. The two would later train together, support each other, and carve out their own legacies in the sport. Now, years later, they meet again—this time with undisputed gold on the line.

Will Shields prove once more why she calls herself the GWOAT, or can Crews‑Dezurn finally earn her long‑awaited redemption?

In this episode, Mario breaks down both fighters’ strengths, weaknesses, and keys to victory, along with the latest betting odds and his final prediction ahead of February 22nd in Detroit.
