Claressa Shields puts up her undisputed heavyweight title on the line against IBF light heavyweight champion Lani Daniels this Saturday at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan. It’s the kind of high-stakes bout that fans won’t want to miss — especially if you’re planning to catch the action from home on a good screen.
Shields, considered by many as the «GWOAT» of boxing, is the most decorated female boxer in history and the only boxer to hold all four major titles in three different weight classes. She enters this heavyweight fight at a perfect 16-0 with three knockouts. A heavy favorite going in, defeating Daniels would also mean Shields will remain undefeated in her home state.
But Daniels is no slouch. Daniels hails from New Zealand and is on a seven-match winning streak. Her overall record is 11-2-2 with one knockout. Upsetting Shields would give Daniels her first title win outside of her home country. She won both the IBF heavyweight and IBF light heavyweight titles in 2023 in Auckland and Whangarei, New Zealand, respectively.
The fight and full match card will stream on DAZN on Saturday, July 26. Here’s how to watch.

How to watch the Shields vs. Daniels fight with a VPN
If DAZN isn’t available in your area, try using a virtual private network to catch the fight. A VPN will let you watch the fight by connecting to a server where it’s available for streaming.
VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security. However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN usage to access region-specific content. If you’re considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform’s terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider’s installation instructions, ensuring you’re connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.
If you need a VPN to stream the fight or other sports, CNET experts recommend ExpressVPN. It’s $13 a month, but a free trial is available. There are free VPNs, but they aren’t ideal for streaming because you won’t have control over your data sharing or privacy like most paid VPNs offer. Free VPNs also tend to have lower speeds, and you won’t be able to choose your server location, which is usually needed when content is only available in select countries.
