Claressa Shields Returns This Weekend and Is Hyped Up To Say The Least

Claressa Shields Returns This Weekend and Is Hyped Up To Say The Least

The greatest female boxer that ever lived in history returns to the ring this weekend.

Shields is still only 29-years-old and has gone from being welterweight women’s professional world champion to women’s heavyweight champion — never done before in female boxing in history.

She returns against Danielle Perkins this weekend and posted the following on X a short time ago:

“I got Chills. ITS MY MF’N FIGHT WEEK. YESSSSS!!!!!!”

A lot of energy from Shields there.

A good fight in store and Shields will give away a lot of height in this fight at the weekend — people forget that — Perkins will have a lot of size on Shields this weekend — more of a live fighter in this fight than some are conceding thus far.

Unlike when she won the heavyweight title before where it was more of an even height match and reach match for Shields previously.
