Shadasia Green faced former heavyweight champion Lani Daniels for the unified IBF and WBO super‑middleweight belts on the undercard of Alycia Baumgardner’s bout at Madison Square Garden Theater in New York. Daniels unleashed a flurry early in round nine, prompting the referee to halt the contest and have Green stretchered from the ring.

Medical staff diagnosed a brain bleed; Green was rushed to ICU on a stretcher. She posted that she passed out from the hemorrhage but is now “on the road to healing” and vows to return for a full‑price rematch. MVP promoter Nakisa Bidarian and the promotion thanked the New York State Athletic Commission, the venue and the hospital for their swift care.

Green captured the unified titles last year by upsetting Britain’s Savannah Marshall, a win that positioned her as a potential challenger for multi‑division star Claressa Shields. Her abrupt injury stalls a rising trajectory and leaves the super‑middleweight division without a clear heir. Recovery will determine whether she can re‑enter the title picture this season.

Fans and analysts praised Green’s composure inside the ring, noting her aggressive style that earned her the championship. As she recuperates, the division’s schedule will likely be reshuffled, with Daniels expected to defend the belts against a new contender while Green’s camp monitors her progress.
