"I just thought accolades mattered," heavyweight champion Claressa Shields wrote after WNBA star Angel Reese received top honor at 2025 BET Awards.

Shields, the first undisputed heavyweight champion in women’s boxing, announced on social media Wednesday that she is facing Daniels on July 26 at Little Caesars Arena.

Boxer Claressa Shields is wondering how Angel Reese beat her out for Sportswoman Of The Year at the 2025 BET Awards, taking to X Tuesday (June 10) to share her surprise at losing to the WNBA star.

During an appearance on "The Ariel Helwani Show," Shields addressed Cyborg's post. "She's fighting bums in boxing and she's yelling out, 'Oh, I've got more knockouts than Claressa,'" Shields said.

The home of the Red Wings and Pistons opened in 2017, but the arena didn't have a boxing card until nearly two years ago when Shields was the headliner and beat Maricela Cornejo.
