Claressa Shields beats Danielle Perkins for undisputed women’s heavyweight championship – as it happened

• Shields becomes first undisputed heavyweight champion
• Flint native outpoints Perkins (100-89, 97-92, 99-90)
• Shields not here for people to cry and feel sorry for me'

And here comes Claressa Shields. She's accompanied by Papoose alongside a small troupe of musicians as she dances her way out of the tunnel and toward the ring, leading the crowd in a round of Whoop That Trick. This is her homecoming fight and she's squeezing every drop from the atmosphere, beaming from behind a pair of designer sunglasses and wearing a black robe with gold trim.

Anthem time in Flint. First a performance of Lift Every Voice and Sing followed by the Star-Spangled Banner (refreshingly free of catcalls). Now Perkins is entering the arena. She's wearing a black robe with red trim and making a very, very slow and measured walk to the ring. She looks calm and composed, climbing through the ropes and circling the ropes to polite cheers.
