A violent knockout blow ends Shadasia Green's title reign, but the former champion vows to return stronger than ever.NYC TodayShadasia Green, the former IBF, WBO and The Ring female super middleweight champion, was on the wrong end of a brutal knockout loss to Lani Daniels in their MVPW 02 co-main event. Though Green did not lose consciousness, she required medical attention and was taken out of the ring on a stretcher. In a statement from Most Valuable Promotions, the 36-year-old 'Sweet Terminator' thanked her supporters and vowed to make a comeback, saying she looks forward to 'coming back better than ever'.
Why it matters
Green's knockout loss was one of the most vicious finishes of the year, leaving fans concerned about her well-being. Her optimistic update is a positive sign, though a return to the ring in the next 12 months would be considered a major surprise given the severity of her injuries. The fight also marked a career-defining win for the 37-year-old Daniels, who had struggled with back-to-back losses before this impressive performance.
The details

Though Green did not lose consciousness, she was visibly in pain and could not stand on her own after the stoppage. She was gently lowered onto a stool before being taken out of the ring on a stretcher and transported to a nearby hospital.
- The fight took place on April 18, 2026 in Inglewood, California.
- Green provided her optimistic update on April 19, 2026, one day after the fight.
