Claressa Shields Names Her Price For Katie Taylor Fight

Women’s boxing star Claressa Shields is on a roll.

Inevitably gathering unstoppable momentum. All the time. More and more. Fight to fight.

A showdown with Ireland’s Katie Taylor seems like a logical fight. A great one at that.

To make later in the year possibly.

It would require, though, Shields to drop down in weight for the fight to meet Taylor half way.

Shields has said she would now take the fight for a million bucks US in various reports.

Seems very reasonable. A million bucks is nowhere near what it used to be.

If you consider Shields is the biggest star in women’s boxing too. Where boxing is as a sport overall. That’s the very least she should be looking for.

There seems to be a path to this to be made. Perhaps Shields will do what is best and appropriate in this regard.

Shields also seems like one of the many boxers at the moment, as well as people from all countries and walks of life, hinting at leaving the Twitter social media app soon:

Twitter is the most annoying app in the world to me 😂 When I get 1 million on Instagram I’ll be deleting this app, because y’all be on here tweeting like y’all know how to fight and ya don’t 😅

Seems like a lot of these fighters and these celebrities favor Instagram more and more now.

As for Shields, she won’t worry too much about these social media companies. Of course. No way. There’ll probably loads of new ones forming soon anyway. The more competition the better. Bring it on. Isn’t that what America is built on anyway. Not monopolies or duopolies. Ah. Sure. We don’t know anything.

Shields does though. She is doing really great in boxing:

Fair play to her.

Doing excellent things. Not only for women’s boxing but all of boxing.

A fight with Savanah Marshall of the UK also a big fight to be made in the future. Once again, we are only promised today. Not tomorrow. But all in all — big fights out there for Shields moving forward.

Taylor vs Shields the biggest of all. Great scrap. When it happens. Taylor deserves a big pay day too. Get her the damn coin. It could be a great clash of fight styles too. Just make it happen to the relevant morons involved.

Here is the full Claressa Shields fight from last Friday if you missed it:
