Claressa Shields is one of the biggest stars in female boxing, having an undefeated record. Having won all 14 of her matches showcases Shields’ dominance in the women’s middleweight division.
Now the status of Claressa is that she can claim to be the goat of her division. The 28-year-old US boxer has come forward, this time to oppose something that Rolly Romero did on social media platforms. Shields didn’t look happy in her reply to Rolly’s act.
Claressa Shields blasts Rolly Romero on Instagram Live
What actually happened was the circulation of a video where Shields was captured being knocked down during a sparring session. Arturs Ahmetovs, the male boxer, was the sparring partner, and he attempted a heavy shot that actually put the woman champion down. Although it was claimed that the video was taken five years ago, Claressa has some unfinished business.
After Rolly circulated the video, Claressa Shields came on Instagram live and said, “Rolly, next time I see you, you can put your f*****g dukes up because I’m going to punch the f*** out of your a**. Whenever I see you in person, you bow down and are respectful. But then you want to come [into] my inbox… Don’t flatter yourself! … So Rolly, while your punk a** came to my inbox, I will square up with you and whoop your a** literally! I will come to TMT and literally put my hands on you. I want to embarrass you, Rolly,” via Essentially Sports
The boxing community backs Rolly Romero.
Romero, who may look to compete against Ryan Garcia next year, also shared his thoughts to calm the women’s boxing champion. Rolly took on his ‘X’ and posted a tweet also mentioning her name: “I took it down. I wish you nothing but the best. I have no problems.”
Boxing fans looked back on Rolly and instead started giving the male boxer tips on how he could actually put Claressa Shields down.
One fan was found stating that one jab from Romero could finish the women’s boxing champion.
Another fan claimed Claressa Shields survived Arturs’s knockout, but she may not be able to survive what Rolly can do to her in the boxing ring.
One of the fans is claiming that she is still having the effects of the knockdown from Arturs Ahmetovs.
After winning 14 fights, he lost to Gervonta Davis later in this year’s May. Romero Got the Win against Ismael Barroso. Rolly is also one of the knockout artists in boxing, securing 13 wins by knockout in only 16 fights.
