Claressa Shields named pound-for-pound number one by DAZN ahead of Katie Taylor but not everyone agrees

Claressa Shields has been named the female pound-for-pound number one by DAZN following her win over Savannah Marshall, overtaking Katie Taylor on the broadcaster's list.

The 27-year-old won via unanimous decision after a stunning bout to add Marshall’s WBO middleweight belt to her WBC, WBA and IBF crowns.

The fight, which topped Britain’s first all-female card, was supposed to take place five weeks ago but was postponed following the death of the Queen.
