Following her defeat to Lani Daniels in New York, Shadasia Green underwent treatment for a brain bleed. The incident occurred during their bout for the unified IBF and WBO super-middleweight titles, which took place at the Madison Square Garden Theater.
Green was stopped in the ninth round after Daniels unleashed a series of shots, prompting the referee to intervene and Green to be stretchered out of the ring. In a social media update, Green revealed that she lost consciousness due to the brain bleed but is currently in the ICU and on the path to recovery, stating, "I'll be back to claim what's mine 100 per cent." Green had previously gained recognition as a unified world champion after defeating Britain's Savannah Marshall and was being considered as a potential opponent for multi-weight undisputed champion Claressa Shields.
Green expressed gratitude to those who showed concern during the fight and appreciated the support of her promoter, MVP, and its representative, Nakisa Bidarian, who were by her side in the hospital. MVP also released a statement, saying, "We are working closely with Shadasia and her family, and collectively, we would like to thank the New York State Athletic Commission, Madison Square Garden, and the hospital for their care and leadership."
