Former unified super-middleweight champion Shadasia Green is currently recovering in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) after suffering a brain bleed during her world title clash against Lani Daniels on Saturday night.
The bout, held at the Madison Square Garden Theater, saw Green challenging Daniels for the unified IBF and WBO super-middleweight championships. The contest came to a harrowing end in the ninth round when the referee intervened following a heavy barrage of punches from Daniels. Green was subsequently evacuated from the ring on a stretcher and rushed to a nearby hospital.
Breaking her silence from the hospital, Green took to social media to update fans on her condition and the severity of the injury.
“I passed out due to bleeding out of my brain,” Green revealed. “However, I am in ICU on the road to healing. I’ll be back to get what’s mine 100 per cent covered.”
The fighter expressed deep gratitude for the medical team and her promotional camp, specifically mentioning Nakisa Bidarian of Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) for staying by her side during the crisis.
Green’s hospitalization sends shockwaves through the boxing world, as she was considered one of the most formidable forces in the weight class. Her career trajectory had been on a steep incline following her stunning upset victory over Britain’s Savannah Marshall last year—a win that earned her unified world champion status.
Before this setback, Green was widely positioned as a primary challenger for P4P star Claressa Shields.
Most Valuable Promotions released a statement confirming they are working closely with Green’s family to ensure she receives the best possible care. The MVP thanked the New York State Athletic Commission and the Madison Square Garden medical staff for their rapid response.
While Green has already voiced her intent to return to the ring, the boxing community remains focused on her immediate recovery from such a critical neurological injury.
