GWOAT Claressa Shields Boasts Being the “Only” Female Boxer to Have Snatched the Undisputed Crown in 2 Different Divisions

Claressa Shields, the first American woman ever to win the Olympic gold medal in boxing, is a success story like no other. During her amazing amateur career, she won the Olympic gold medal in 2012. Then again in 2016, making her the first American boxer to win two consecutive gold medals. After her last gold, she officially turned pro in 2016. Since then, she has fought 14 times and has won every fight. She’s currently the Undisputed Middleweight Champion with all 4 belts under her name.

So it’s not an exaggeration when she adds the tag of GWOAT in front of her name. She has showcased her abilities repeatedly and is a trendsetter in the sport of boxing. She even attracts huge audiences, her last fight boasted an incredible attendance of 11,748 spectators in the stadium during her last fight against Maricela Cornejo. Anyways, recently her feats were compared with the feats of Terence Crawford, and this gave Shields a major boost that she even posted a tweet on this matter.

Claressa Shields takes pride in her achievements

Many great boxing names like Manny Pacquiao, Floyd Mayweather, and Canelo Alvarez, who are known to be multiple-divisions boxing champions, couldn’t break one record. But, there’s a chance on July 29th to break the untouched record of this era. Well, there are two records that could be broken in the Terence Crawford vs. Errol Spence Jr. fight.

So the first record is that the sport of boxing will get its very first undisputed champion in the welterweight division during the 4-belt era. Before this fighters like Floyd Mayweather, Zab Judah, and Corey Spinks only had three belts to conquer. The other record will be – if Crawford manages to win, he’ll become the first male fighter to become the Undisputed Champion in two different divisions. As he’s already held 4 belts in the Super Lightweight division, before this.

So, in the recent article of Marca, the name of Claressa Shields was there as she has already made it possible before any other male boxer could do it. In the article, they mentioned, “In the female category, only Claressa Shields (2021) has done it before“.

This uplifted Shields so much that she instantly tweeted saying, “ONLY CLARESSA SHIELDS!!!!!” and added the article below.

This was quite a big deal for her and she expressed it with great excitement.
