Salita Promotions wishes to congratulate women’s pound-for-pound #1 boxer and three-division world champion Claressa Shields for being nominated for a 2021 ESPY Award for Best Boxer.
Presented by Capital One and the ESPN network, the ESPY’s allow fans to choose the yearly winners by way of online voting.
Aside from making her successful MMA fighting debut in June, Shields (11-0-0, 2 KO) made history last March by dethroning Canada’s Marie-Eve Dicaire and becoming the first boxer in the four-belt era, maschio o femmina, to be an undisputed champion in two divisions. She also retained her WBC and WBO junior middleweight titles with the victory and claimed Dicaire’s IBF belt, as well as the vacant WBA Championship.
Shields is in strong company with the other nominees, including unified super middleweight champ Canelo Alvarez, unified lightweight champion Teofimo Lopez and WBC Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury.
CAST YOUR VOTE FOR THE GWOAT QUI AND TUNE IN TO THE ESPYS ON JULY 10 AT 8 P.m. ET ON ABC.
