Claressa Shields is arguably the best female boxer of all time, and her new deal reflects that. Shields has signed a multi-fight partnership with Wynn Records and Salita Promotions, guaranteeing her a minimum of $8 million.

"This deal represents more than just a contract; it's a statement," Shields said in a press release. "I've fought my entire career to prove that women's boxing deserves equal respect, equal pay, and equal opportunity."

The partnership is unique in that it's not strictly between a boxer and boxing promotions. Salita Promotions, run by former WBA junior welterweight title challenger Dmitry Salita, teamed with music label Wynn Records, whose talent roster includes acclaimed rappers Papoose and Los. It's unclear how many fights make up Shields' new $8 million deal.
