Watch: Claressa Shields Says Olympics Dropped The Ball In 2024

Claressa Shields Says Olympics Dropped The Ball Letting Transgender Boxer Box Italian Woman

As the backlash worldwide continues against the Olympics and the IOC the most successful female athlete of all time adds her take.

Claressa Shields in women’s sports terms is the equivalent of Muhammad Ali today.

She actually achieved a lot more than him and is the only double Olympic Gold medallist as well as going from super-welterweight world champion to heavyweight women’s champion as a professional.

Speaking on the mess of an Olympics yesterday she said:

Appears to be a reasonable analysis.

Seriously, boxing is an unbelievably dangerous sport, the most dangerous of them all, so anything that adds to this danger is not welcome and not to be tolerated, to say the least.

What Shields has achieved in recent years will never be seen again on this planet by an athlete.

Literally she is a living legend right now.
