CLARESSA SHIELDS
"Mo lero nla. I really pushed myself this camp. It was a longer camp than usual so I’ve had ample time to get ready. Tori nelson has been doing a lot of trash talking but I’m going to show her that she may be 17-0, but she’s never fought a girl like me before.
“I may only have 4 professional fights to my name, but I have plenty of amateur experience. I’ve fought girls that are 16-0, I don’t see anywhere on her record where she’s fought an undefeated fighter of that caliber.
“I’ve prepared for this fight the same way that I always do. Mo ti ko ṣe ohunkohun pataki. Mo ti idojukọ lori ara mi, ko mi alatako.
"Ni awọn 6th tabi 7th yika, Nelson lọ si isalẹ.
"Lọgan ti mo ti lu Nelson, Mo fẹ lati ja Christina Hammer, sugbon mo n mu o ọkan ija ni akoko kan. Mo fẹ lati ja ni o kere kan akoko ni 154 poun to mu on Hammer. "
