Boxing World Reacts Claressa Shields Claiming She Could Beat Male Fighter

Claressa Shields has been rocking the boxing world this past week after becoming undisputed middleweight champion in only her ninth professional fight.

At only 24 years of age Shields has done so, too.

An astonishing feat to her credit considering she is also a double Olympic champion following women’s boxing only getting into the Olympics back in 2012.

Earlier this week Shields claimed she’d beat welterweight Keith Thurman and now speaking on Twitter she’s gone a step further and said she’d beat a super-middleweight professional male boxer, Rocky Fielding.

Fielding recently lost to Canelo Alvarez in his last bout.

Here’s how the boxing world has been reacting to the bold claim by Shields:
