Shadasia Green Recovers from Brain Bleed After Stoppage Loss to Lani Daniels
Shadasia Green faced a serious health scare following her stoppage defeat to Lani Daniels during a championship bout in New York. Competing for the unified IBF and WBO super-middleweight titles on the undercard of Alycia Baumgardner's match against Bo Mi Re Shin at the Madison Square Garden Theater, Green was taken from the ring on a stretcher after a flurry of punches from Daniels prompted the referee to halt the fight. In a poignant social media update, Green revealed, "I passed out due to bleeding out of my brain. However, I am in ICU on the road to healing. I'll be back to get what's mine 100 percent covered." Her resilience shines through as she recalls her rise to become a unified world champion, notably defeating Savannah Marshall last year, and her potential future fight against Claressa Shields, a multi-weight undisputed champion. Green expressed gratitude towards her supporters, stating, "With everything in me I want to thank those who had great concern and even the people who figured out during the fight something was wrong. I appreciate MVP [Most Valuable Promotions] and Nakisa Bidarian, her promoter, for being right by my side in the hospital." Most Valuable Promotions also conveyed their commitment to Green's recovery, thanking the New York State Athletic Commission, Madison Square Garden, and the attending hospital for their exemplary care and support during this challenging time.
