Claressa Shields, Cecilia Braekhus talk potential clash for women's boxing supremacy
"One (hundred) fifty-four (pounds)," Shields emphatically said. "People think I'm this belt snatcher, but I don’t want the 147-pound belts. That’s not what I want. She feels like she’s No. 1 pound-for-pound and I say that I am No. 1 pound-for-pound. And we are close enough in weight that we should meet in a fight and let the fighters decide that. I don’t want the belts. I don’t believe I can make 147 even though my nutritionist believes I can. I believe 154 is the lowest I can go and I would gladly box Cecilia there."
"She would definitely need to move down a bit," Braekhus said.
The winner between Braekhus and Shields would no doubt be the best in the world and arguably the greatest women's fighter of all time.
Laila Ali and Ann Wolfe have both been regarded as the greatest women's fighters in boxing history. Unfortunately, they never faced each other in the squared circle to settle it.
Braekhus and Shields have the opportunity to prove it in the near future. Should both of them continue their winning ways, a clash seems inevitable as long as they can agree upon a weight class.
Hopefully, Braekhus and Shields do what Ali and Wolfe never did.

If Brækhus/Shields doesn't happen I think the next potential moneymaker in women's boxing would be Makaela Mayer vs Katie Taylor.

I would like for it to happen, but idk if it will. Earliest it could happen is late 2019, because Shields is fighting Hammer next. And Braekus is most likely fighting Cyborg next year.
Shields needs the fight more than Braekhus though. After Hammer, there's really not many top options left for Shields to fight. And to get that fight she has to drop down to 154 and hope Cecilia is willing to come up to meet her there. Meanwhile Cecilia has more options to choose from. She could easily bring up Katie Taylor or Amanda Serrano to 147.
Hopefully the fight does happen though
HBO’s final boxing telecast, Saturday night’s “Boxing After Dark” tripleheader of mismatches, including two women’s bouts, from the StubHub Center in Carson, California, went out with perhaps the lowest viewership in the history of the once-great series. The main event, undisputed women’s welterweight champion Cecilia Braekhus’s near-shutout of Aleksandra Magdziak-Lopes, averaged a miniscule 276,000 viewers and peaked at 347,000, according to Nielsen Media Research. The main event was even got clobbered by the opening two fights on the card, though they were also poorly viewed. The co-feature, Juan Francisco Estrada’s one-sided seventh-round stoppage of Victor Mendez in a junior featherweight fight, averaged 300,000 viewers (326,000 peak). The opener, unified women’s middleweight titlist Claressa Shields averaged 339,000 viewers (379,000 peak).
