Watch Claressa Shields vs Maricela Cornejo live stream

Claressa “T-Rex” Shields will defend her status as the best pound-for-pound fighter in women’s boxing this weekend in a unified title bout against Maricela “La Diva” Cornejo. Shields is the unified middleweight champion, and has previously unified the welterweight division and scooped up a few belts in the super middleweight division. As a late replacement for the fight, Cornejo has her work cut out for her.

Cornejo (16-5, 6 KOs) jumped onto the fight just last week after Shields’ (13-0, 2 KOs) original opponent, Hanna Gabriels, tested positive for a banned substance. Gabriels had a unique excuse for the test result — she was rubbing vet-prescribed steroid cream on her dog. Cornejo eagerly replaced Gabriels, saying she was already deep into training camp for a different fight and is ready to take on the undefeated Shields.

Claressa Shields vs Maricela Cornejo is on Saturday, June 3, at 9 p.m. ET. That’s when the undercard starts, so expect Shields and Cornejo to step into the squared circle around 11 p.m. ET. The fight will be broadcast exclusively on DAZN in most of the world. Read more about how to watch boxing on DAZN below.
