This past weekend, Detroit became the epicenter of women’s boxing as Claressa Shields returned home to defend her legacy against Daniels in a powerful, sold-out event that left the city buzzing.


Fight Week officially kicked off on Wednesday with a dynamic press conference that set the tone early. Egypt X, the face of fighter wellness and a true ambassador of the sport, stood tall on stage alongside Claressa and her team, reinforcing the message that mental health matters just as much as physical training in the fight game.


Thursday brought open workouts for the media, a smooth and well-run showcase for both camps. Claressa took time to engage with fans and media alike, offering her VIP guests a once-in-a-lifetime experience: exclusive access, signed gloves, and personal moments with the champ herself.


That night, a private sponsor dinner lit up downtown Detroit, set against the fireworks show at Comerica Park. The city skyline provided the perfect backdrop for conversations about legacy, community, and what’s next for women in combat sports.


Friday’s weigh-in electrified downtown, drawing a massive crowd and pouring raw energy into the streets of the city. It was more than just a media event, it was a celebration of Detroit pride and women’s athletic power.


And then came Saturday, fight night. A sold-out venue packed with energy, with over 75% of the tickets purchased by women, making it one of the most female-supported boxing events in Michigan history. From the first bell to the final round, the atmosphere was electric. Claressa delivered, Daniels brought the fight, and the night was capped by Egypt X once again raising the bar for athlete experience, delivering front-row access, behind-the-scenes fighter interactions, and exclusive entry to post-fight interviews and celebrations.


Fight 4 Mental Health made its presence felt. With Egypt X leading the way, the brand didn’t just support the event, they elevated it. This wasn’t just a fight. It was a moment for the culture, for Detroit, and for the future of women in sports.
