In a recent interview with iFL TV, Shields said, “I’m not having a back and forth for four-footer, win the fight s0 I can whip your a**… That’s how my message for her is to win the fight so I can show you why I’m a three-time division world champion.”

Moreover, the 27-year-old champ took the upper hand by highlighting her two Olympic gold medals, whereas the British female pugilist has secured one gold medal in the 2012 World Championship.

Furthermore, she narrated the roadmap of the upcoming clash with ‘The Silent Assassin’. She added, “I don’t want to be undisputed at 154, keep my belt up at 160. She is gonna wait after I fought, and then I and her gonna fall for all the titles, but she wanted to just run after one belt, and then start chatting sh*t. Guess what? It was classless, and it’s scary. You know it’s scary of her. Scary Marshall.”

However, this did not sit well with the champion Shields and she shouted, “I’m not scared of you.” 

Slowly and gradually remarks turned more bitter, finally leading to the altercation. Since then, both fighters have been indulging in verbal beef and often exchange remarks.
