Claressa Shields reaction to becoming the heavyweight champion

Claressa Shields did the impossible this weekend in boxing and frankly in all of professional sports at the highest level.

Starting out as just a super-welterweight, the only two-time gold-winning woman in amateur boxing history – she moved up to heavyweight this weekend.

Winning the Women’s Heavyweight Title and saying this on X:

Really.

Shields is now also a five-weight world champion as a professional.

America and professional sports are very, very lucky and fortunate to have this young lady, just a kid, she’s just a baby at 29 and already a living legend.

Easily, by a country mile, the best and greatest female boxer to ever live.

A credit to her and to the United States.

Stellar, exemplary, outstanding — there aren’t enough words in the dictionary to describe what he accomplished this weekend.

Appreciation.
