Claressa Shields has been in the news as she announced that she would switch over to MMA. The two-time Olympic gold medallist signed a deal with PFL. This will see her compete as a mixed martial artist in early 2021. However, ‘T-Rex’ has built a reputation for being one of if not the best female boxers in the world right now.

She is 10-0 as a professional boxer and defeated Ivana Habazin in her last fight. In her professional career thus far, she has never been pushed to the limit and has taken to a different sport in search of a new challenge.
