Claressa Shields vs. Maricela Cornejo: List of odds, favourites, markets, prediction and betting trendsDAZN

Undisputed women's middleweight champion Claressa Shields returns to action on Saturday night against Maricela Corneyjo.

Shields was originally set to face Hanna Gabriels for a second time, but the latter was forced to withdraw from the contest due to a failed drugs test. 

As expected, Shields is a huge favourite against Corneyjo who has only had just over a week to prepare for the fight, but the American will be looking to spoil what is a huge homecoming for the defending champion in Detroit. 

There are always plenty of bets to be made for the fight and DAZN takes a look at some of those below. 

Shields vs. Cornejo odds

Shields vs. Cornejo prediction

The odds show that Claressa Shields is an overwhelming favourite and I cannot see past a win for the undisputed women's middleweight champion. 

While Shields may have had only a short amount of time to study her opponent, she has too much skill for Maricela Corneyjo who will struggle to cause any problems. 

Shields however will still need to make a statement as she looks to cement her self-proclaimed 'GWOAT' status and as proven in her previous outing against Savannah Marshall, she has the punch power to bring the fight to an early finish. 

With Cornejo stepping in against a fighter who is levels above her in terms of ability, she will be nervous and I expect Shields to capitalise on those nerves, be on the front foot and bring the fight to a close in the latter stages.

  • Astbury's pick: Claressa Shields to win in round 8
  • Odds: +1400
