As women’s boxing continues its meteoric rise, a potential showdown between undisputed champion Claressa Shields and newly unified super-middleweight titleholder Shadasia Green is gaining serious momentum—and for good reason. With both fighters undefeated at 168 pounds and vocal about their intentions, Shields vs. Green is shaping up to be the most anticipated women’s boxing match of 2025.
On July 11, 2025, Shadasia Green (16–1) made a major statement by defeating Savannah Marshall via split decision at Madison Square Garden, unifying the WBO and IBF super-middleweight titles. Green didn’t waste time, immediately calling out Claressa Shields in her post-fight interview. “When the time is right, I’d love to fight Claressa Shields,” she said, adding fuel to the fire of a matchup fans have been craving.
Just two weeks later, on July 26, Claressa Shields (17–0) successfully defended her undisputed heavyweight titles against Lani Daniels in Detroit via unanimous decision. Despite fighting at heavyweight, Shields responded directly to Green’s callout on social media, saying, “Oh please, shut up and come fight me… literally light work.”
Behind the scenes, momentum is building. Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of MVP Promotions, confirmed the Shields vs. Green bout is “100% on the table” now that both fighters have cleared their respective summer bouts. According to reports, talks are expected to begin in fall 2025, with the fight likely to take place at 160 or 168 pounds—weights where both women have previously reigned supreme.
This clash isn’t just a battle of champions—it’s a generational showdown. Shields, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and three-division undisputed world champion, is widely regarded as the GWOAT (Greatest Woman of All Time). Green, a rising star with knockout power and a surging fan base, is now one of the most dangerous threats to Shields’ dominance.
With vocal support from MVP Promotions, the involvement of boxing influencer Jake Paul, and both fighters publicly endorsing the matchup, Claressa Shields vs. Shadasia Green has all the makings of a blockbuster women’s boxing event—one that could headline a pay-per-view card and redefine the sport’s landscape.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
