Pound for pound head honcho, number one or number two for most, Terence Crawford was at the Shields fight.
The Claressa Shields win over Danielle Perkins via unanimous decision last night that is.
Speaking right after the fight ringside Shields told Fight Hype YouTube that he wanted to support Shields:
“It’s important for everybody to support everybody, not just one fighter supporting one fighter, you know what I mean? We all need to support each other. We all need to support women’s boxing.”
Alas, Shields showed herself to have a very good support base in Michigan in what was also a sell out arena.
Another big thing to consider for new major sponsors for Shields and women’s boxing — a big ticket seller, first undisputed women’s heavyweight champion in history, a worldwide streaming platform in DAZN showing her fights, the greatest women’s boxer of all time at only 29, American, and recently she had a hit movie at the US Box Office.
The case is rested.
