Claressa Shields: What's next for the undisputed champion?

Claressa Shields continued her dominance on Saturday night when she dominated throughout to win a lopsided unanimous decision over Lani Daniels to remain the undisputed heavyweight champion from Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, MI, live on DAZN.

From the opening bell, Shields (17-0, 3 KOs) dictated the pace and had things well under control to win with relative ease. Who can give Shields that challenge she desperately needs and have a chance to give her the first "0" in her professional career?

DAZN News gives three options on which female it could be.

Laila Ali

While this is likely the easiest fight of the three choices, this holds the biggest mainstream appeal. Shields has clamored for a bout with Ali in the past. But it's been a while since Shields brought it up.

However, Ali gave it some life when she did analysis for the Katie Taylor-Amanda Serrano 3 fight on July 11. Ali stated, "unless somebody has $15, $20 million, don't even call me," in regards to a Shields clash. 

It didn't take long for Shields to have a rebuttal. Shields sent a video to TMZ which she had a $15 million check with Ali's name on it.

"Let's make a fight between me and you, Shields told TMZ. "The best versus the best. The greats versus the greats. The GWOAT versus Muhammad Ali's daughter, Laila Ali. Let's make it happen."

Ali, who hasn't boxed since 2007, hasn't responded yet. She's said in past interviews that she's too big for Shields. The money Ali wants is apparently there.

There's only one way to find out, and that's in the ring. 

Shadasia Green

It's a fight that's been discussed in the past, with Shields and Green trading barbs at one another. One of the issues has been that Shields and Green have been under different promotional outfits. Also, Shields' disdain for Green's promoter at Most Valuable Promotions, Jake Paul, has gotten in the way. 

Now, Shields is a free agent, as this was her last fight under her promotional deal with Salita Promotions. MVP co-founder Nakisa Badarian told The Ariel Helwani Show that he'd be open to an agreement with Shields to make a bout with Green, who is coming off a split decision win over Savannah Marshall on the Taylor-Serrano undercard to become the unified super middleweight champion. Green saw Saturday's fight and was impressed by what she saw.

This is the toughest fight for Shields and one that now appears to be a possibility. 

Franchon Crews-Dezurn

This should be the easiest one to make of the three. Crews-Dezurn and Shields became close friends after they battled in each other's pro debut in November 2016, with the latter winning by decision. Whenever a rematch's been brought up, they have entertained it, but only if the money was right. 

Never say never to this one.
