Following her defeat to Lani Daniels in New York, Shadasia Green underwent treatment for a brain hemorrhage. The fight, which was part of the undercard for Alycia Baumgardner's match against Bo Mi Re Shin at the Madison Square Garden Theater, saw Green face off against former heavyweight titleholder Daniels for the unified IBF and WBO super-middleweight championships.
The referee intervened in the ninth round after Green was hit with a series of shots from Daniels, and she was subsequently removed from the ring on a stretcher. Green took to social media to update her fans, stating: "I lost consciousness due to a brain bleed.
However, I am currently in the ICU and on the path to recovery. I will return to claim what is mine, 100 percent." Green had previously made history by defeating Britain's Savannah Marshall to become a unified world champion, earning her a potential matchup against US star Claressa Shields, a multi-weight undisputed champion.
Green expressed her gratitude to those who had shown concern for her well-being, as well as her promoter, Nakisa Bidarian, and Most Valuable Promotions for their support during her hospital stay. Most Valuable Promotions also released a statement, saying: "We are working closely with Shadasia and her family. We would like to extend our thanks to the New York State Athletic Commission, Madison Square Garden, and the hospital staff for their exceptional care and leadership."
