Boxer Claressa Shields Has Suspension Dissolved But Still Faces Enforcement Action

Boxer Claressa Shields was delivered some good news and slightly bad news recently.

Per USA Today

Boxing star Claressa Shields still faces possible enforcement action for testing positive for marijuana last month in Michigan even though her suspension was “dissolved” Friday, according to an order issued by the Michigan Unarmed Combat Commission (MUCC), which regulates boxing in the state.

Shields, 29, announced the news on her social media account.

“Officially unsuspended!’’ Shields wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “But y’all a little quiet! Y’all was real loud about me ‘supposedly’ smoking marijuana and being suspended! No worries! And still an Undisputed heavyweight champ! I have the Order to prove it!!!”

Shields faces a fine and the possibility of having the victory from her last fight overturned. That bout took place Feb. 2, when she became the undisputed heavyweight champion after beating Danielle Perkins by unanimous decision in her hometown of Flint, Michigan.

But after the fight, Shields has said, she tested positive for “trace” levels of marijuana.
