Claressa Shields continues her reign at the top of ESPN's women's pound-for-pound rankings after her dominant unanimous decision victory over Franchon Crews-Dezurn on February 22 in Detroit. The undefeated champion earned every first-place vote from the ESPN panel, solidifying her position as the undisputed heavyweight champion and one of only two boxers in the four-belt era to become undisputed in three weight classes.

Shields (18-0, 3 KOs) has won titles in five divisions and captured Olympic gold medals in 2012 and 2016 representing the United States. She unified all four major women's heavyweight titles on February 2, 2025, with a win over Danielle Perkins and has since made two successful defenses. Katie Taylor announced her intention to retire after one more fight, likely in Dublin, but remains at No. 2 in the current rankings.

The top 10 remains unchanged, though several talented fighters are closing in and receiving votes, including unified junior featherweight champion Ellie Scotney, unified super middleweight champion Shadasia Green, and undisputed bantamweight champ Cherneka Johnson. Shields' continued dominance underscores her status as the sport's premier female boxer, with her technical skill and championship pedigree unmatched in women's boxing today.
