Three-division undisputed champion Claressa Shields has received some good news in her ongoing battle to disprove a positive test for marijuana.

In an email sent to Dmitriy Salita, Shields’ promoter, the WBO founding president Luis Batista Salas agreed to grant Shields a stay of proceedings, which will allow her team time to make its case with the Michigan Unarmed Combat Commission and in the meantime avoid a penalty from the WBO – including the possibility of Shields being stripped of its title.

News, Talk Shows, Podcasts & Live Fights. Our motivation for creating ProBox TV is simple. Boxing fans have been taken for granted. They’ve been underserved regarding the quality of content. Further, the other networks involved in boxing lack a commitment to the sport, the fighters and most importantly, the fans. Real fight fans need an “all-boxing channel” fully focused on giving fans what they want. #ProboxTV #Boxing #BoxingNews
