Claressa Shields is packing the pounds on!

Claressa Shields has her sights on becoming a four-weight world champion after stepping up to challenge women’s WBC heavyweight champion Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse.

Shields will return to boxing on July 27 to face Lepage-Joanisse at the Litte Caesar's Arena in Detroit, where she successfully defended her undisputed middleweight world champion status against Maricela Cornejo in June last year.
