The Bright Lights of World Championship Boxing Return to Detroit

July 26th World Championship Boxing will indeed return to Detroit, as Claressa Shields will square off against Lani Daniels . The Co Main event of this card lacks no fire power either as former World Champion Tony “SuperBad” Harrison will take on Eduardo Diaz .

The fight takes place LIVE from the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit Mi which was also the backdrop for today’s fight week press conference .

It was really refreshing to see the joy in Sheilds’ face as she not only hyped up her fight but also fighting alongside someone she looks up too in Tony Harrison. This event has seemed to bring in the fan fare as well as Claressa also talked about the 15k tickets sold for her fight .

As far as their opponents Claressa and Tony both spoke highly of their opponents saying “with no opponent we can’t put on a show.” That said they both reminded us that “there’s still asses to be beat.” Shields went on to talk about how she and her team were well aware that Daniels wasn’t coming from New Zealand to lose and the danger she presents . Daniels was very grateful for the opportunity and to have her family here on such a big stage and that she’d planned to make her family and country proud .

I was also able to ask Tony Harrison “What this chapter of his career would be named ?” Tony said “The Gentleman” , stating that

“I was an ass***e for a lot of my early years and that the amount of talk he was doing wasn’t adding up to him .” He went on to say “My goal in Boxing was to be World Champion and I did that by beating the guy they said was the baddest in my division . “ This Time I’m gonna let my hands do the talking, run the bag up and get another World Championship when they said I can’t .”

I also got to speak to Claressa about how good it felt to get back to boxing after all of the Drug Test controversy. She said she was glad I asked that because she and Salita both hoped that this would open more eyes to the issues with the swab testing in Michigan . Saying Joe Hicks had the same issue and that Jasmine Hampton was dealing with something similar . This issue is a problem clear down to the amateur ranks of mma fighters and boxers in Michigan, with fighters being sidelined for such little amounts of thc in their systems.

The GWOAT and SuperBad are bringing the musical power and performance as well being played out to the Ring by Detroits own Icewear Vezzo and Claressa by “The Boss” Rick Ross ! July 26th will be a night that you don’t wanna miss with past guest of the show Sammy “The Heat” Worthington fighting for the interim WBA title as well ! Stay tuned for more coverage!
