Claressa Shields is back in action on Saturday night with "The GWOAT" set to defend her WBO, IBF, WBA and WBC titles against Lani Daniels at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan.
Shields continues to stake her claim as the best pound-for-pound fighter in all of women's boxing. The latest chapter of her career has taken her to heavyweight where it didn't take long for her to become the undisputed champion.
The 30-year-old will look to build her legacy in the division. She would score her first successful defense of all the belts if she comes out on top.
Lani Daniels will look to play the role of spoiler. The New Zealander is the IBF light heavyweight champion, but will attempt to make the move to heavyweight.

Most of Claressa Shields' fights have seen her come in as a massive favorite. This one is no different. Shields once again has the odds stacked in her favorite to come out victorious.
On top of being a superior athlete with skills and technique to spare, she will once again be fighting in front of a friendly crowd.
This is the third time in four fights that she'll be fighting at Little Caesars Arena. Her last bout was actually in her hometown of Flint, Michigan.
Still, Shields isn't in the business of underestimating her opponent. She reminded reporters of what Daniels is capable of.
“She is a two-time world champion, and she is coming to fight,” Shields said, per Lucas Ketelle of Boxing Scene. “I am looking forward to being inside the ring with her and being challenged, and seeing if someone could take me off my GWOAT [Greatest Woman of All Time] status.”
It is true that Daniels is a champion. That doesn't mean she has the chops to actually challenge Shields in the ring.
What's most concerning for the 37-year-old is that she doesn't have much stopping power. She is 11-2-2 in her career, but only has one knockout victory.
Shields looks more powerful than ever as a heavyweight. Without a weight cut to worry about she knocked out Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse in her heavyweight debut and scored a vicious knockdown against Danielle Perkins in her last bout.
If Daniels can't command some respect early in the fight then this could get out of hand rather quickly. Expect a dominant performance from Shields and a knockout if she wants one.
