Claressa Shields Signs Historic $8 million Contract
By Eddie Sanchez
Claressa Shields, arguably the best female boxer of all time, has signed a new deal reflects her historic greatness. Shields has signed a two-year, multi-fight partnership with Wynn Records and Salita Promotions, guaranteeing her a minimum of $8 million.
“This deal represents more than just a contract, it’s a statement,” Shields said in a press release.
“I’ve fought my entire career to prove that women’s boxing deserves equal respect, equal pay, and equal opportunity.”
The partnership is unique in that it’s not strictly between a boxer and boxing promotions. Salita Promotions, run by former WBA junior welterweight title challenger Dmitry Salita, teamed with music label Wynn Records, whose talent roster includes acclaimed rappers Papoose and Los. It’s unclear how many fights make up Shields’ new $8 million deal.
Shields (17-0) plans to fight in the first quarter of 2026.
The self-proclaimed GWOAT has the statistics to back up her lofty nickname. Shields has won undisputed championships in three weight classes, has held world titles in five divisions, and is a two-time Olympic gold medalist.
Most impressively, perhaps, she’s the only boxer in history to hold three undisputed titles simultaneously.
