CLARESSA SHIELDS IS BACK IN CAMP… BUT WHO IS SHE FIGHTING?! $8M DEAL, MVP BAN & NO OPPONENT TALKS!

🥊 *CLARESSA SHIELDS IS BACK IN CAMP — BUT WHO IS NEXT?* Claressa Shields is hinting at her return to camp, but boxing fans want answers. Who is she preparing to fight? Will her next opponent be a major name? And what does the next chapter of her reported $8 million deal with Salita Promotions and Wynn Records look like? In this Hood Champion Boxing and Sports breakdown, we examine the uncertainty surrounding Claressa's next fight, the reported negotiations for a potential early-2027 showdown with Lauren Price, and why the matchup could be one of the most meaningful options available. We also discuss: 🔥 Why fans want Claressa to face Hannah Gabriels or Cris Cyborg—and why neither matchup should be treated as confirmed. 🔥 How the reported MVP ban following the Alycia Baumgardner incident could complicate certain matchmaking possibilities. 🔥 Whether the difficulty of making major fights is about opponents, promoters, weight classes, or business negotiations. 🔥 What fans should reasonably expect from Claressa's next fight under her reported multimillion-dollar agreement. 🔥 Why Alycia Baumgardner's upcoming fight against Elif Nur Turhan is attracting attention while Claressa's next opponent remains unconfirmed. 🔥 Whether Claressa needs a major announcement to turn the conversation back toward boxing. *IMPORTANT UPDATE:* Sky Sports reported on October 12 that Shields and promoter Dmitriy Salita were discussing a potential fight with Lauren Price in early 2027. The fight has not been officially finalized, so negotiations should not be confused with a confirmed booking. Claressa has already accomplished extraordinary things inside the ring. Now fans want to know what challenge comes next—and whether her team can deliver the kind of matchup that adds another major chapter to her legacy. 👇 *JOIN THE DISCUSSION:* 1.
