Claressa shields has been boxing professionally since November 2016. She has won quite a number of championships and titles. She also made her mixed martial arts debut in 2021 and is regarded as the No.1 pound-for-pound female boxer.

The 25-year old boxer revealed she has made $400,000 as her highest-earning in her career in 10 fights. Her fight with Laili Ali which the latter demanded $5million was to be split into two.

All the Ways Claressa Shields Makes Her Fortune

Claressa Shields has been winning world championships and making history. She has focused on raising the stakes for women to the extent that they will get paid more and treated the same way as their male counterparts.

She became the fastest fighter in history after she won the WBC and WBO junior middleweight championships. She won the World Championships in three weight divisions. Shields was guaranteed $300,000 for her fight with Habazin which was certainly a hefty paycheck for any fighter. This was reported by the Washington Post.

The two-time Olympic gold medalist has been finding it difficult to get women who are willing to fight her. Because of that, she has even considered a bout with MMA/UFC superstar Amanda Nunes. Nunes is regarded as the UFC woman of all time. She was paid $500,000 and $450,000 for two bouts last year.

Involving herself in MMA means more earnings for Shields. She stated that wanting to fight Nunes means that the fight of that kind would have high viewership, pay-per-views. So if Nunes would demand $2 million she too would be given the same amount. She believes if the organizers are making money from the fight, the fighters should also benefit from it.
