Biggest wins 

Shields becomes world champion, 2017

A punctuating fifth-round TKO of Nikki Adler made Shields a unified WBC/IBF super middleweight world champion, capturing her first titles in just her fourth professional fight. 

Shields is crowned undisputed middleweight world champion, 2019

In Christina Hammer, Shields took a rugged champion and severely outpointed her toward a near shutout of a unanimous decision. 

The dominant showing made the "GWOAT" (Greatest Woman of All Time) the undisputed middleweight world champion.

Shutting out Marie-Eve Dicaire to get another undisputed crown, 2021

Shields used her hometown of Flint, Michigan as the backdrop to witness boxing history as her unanimous decision shutout of Marie-Eve Dicaire made her the first boxer ever during the four-belt era — man or woman — to reign as undisputed world champion in two different weight classes simultaneously.

She had already been crowned undisputed middleweight champion and this lopsided victory made her undisputed champion at junior middleweight, too.

Shields exacts revenge on Savannah Marshall, 2022

Savannah Marshall was holding a win in the amateurs over Shields' head and this long-awaited rematch was the perfect platform for the "GWOAT" to get revenge.

Shields delivered a hard-fought performance to get the 96-94, 96-94 and 97-93 nods across the scorecards for the unanimous decision which had her snatching Marshall's WBO title to enjoy yet another undisputed middleweight reign.
