Salita Promotions congratulates fighting superstar Claressa Shields for having the street she grew up on in Flint, Michigan, honorarily dedicated in her name by City of Flint Mayor Sheldon Neely. Domenica scorsa, Shields, 26, was presented the accolade, which turned Spencer Street into Claressa Shields Street, at her Joy Tabernacle Church, where Shields was a guest speaker.


Mayor Neely says he’s overjoyed to be able to bestow the honor on the city’s fighting legend and says the next steps are to determine if it will be a ceremonial name change or an official name change. Ceremonial would mean adding Shield’s name to the existing name and official would mean the removal of the existing street name and replacing it with Shield’s name.


Claressa continues to make us all proud while exemplifying what it means to be a true champion,” said Mayor Neely. “She has accomplished so much, remains connected to this community and we just want to honor her. This street dedication is well-deserved.”


Shields (11-0, 2 KO), a two-time Olympic gold medal winner, three-division professional boxing champion, the first fighter, maschio o femmina, to unify championships in two divisions and the fastest boxer in history to win titles in three different weight divisions, says this award is especially touching for her.


“I could not be happier today y’all!” said Shields on Twitter. “I had a great time at church! So thankful to everyone who came out to worship with me today! I was surprised by the Mayor of Flint! The street I grew up on Spencer street is being named after me ‘Claressa Shields Street.’ My grandma would be so PROUD!!!! I delivered a great message today! I feel so special!!! I’m overjoyed.”


“This is a well-deserved honor for a woman and fighter who has done a lot to help and support her home city,”Ha detto promoter Shields’, Dmitriy Word of Word Promozioni. “She never stops working toward success in her career or as a public figure with an inspiring message. Salita Promotions is proud to represent her.”

Shields (6-0, 2 KO) difenderà il suo IBF e WBA campionati mondiale dei pesi medi, ed essere in cerca di aggiungere il titolo vacante WBC, contro Rankin (5-2, 1 KO) nel 10-round co-optional per Promozioni Salita stablemate prova di forza dei pesi massimi Jarrell Miller contro la Romania Bogdan Dinu.

 

 

 

Entrambi i combattimenti, insieme con l'ex campione del mondo di Brandon Rios assumendo il fratello di Canelo, Ramon Alvarez, in un super welter 10-rounder e ex due volte sfidante titolo mondiale dei medi Gabriel Rosado andando contro una volta battuto contendente Luis Arias, sarà trasmessa in diretta su DAZN.

 

 

 

23-Shields anno-vecchio, un ex due volte medaglia d'oro olimpica, ha riacceso l'interesse nel pugilato femminile e diventare un feedback favorito per il suo exploit di campionato televisivi a livello nazionale. Un nativo orgoglioso di Flint, Michigan, Shields miscele suoi pronunciamenti sfacciato di grandezza, con uno sforzo genuino e continua ad ispirare gli atleti di sesso femminile e prestare aiuto ai membri della sua comunità di origine.

 

 

 

Shields era originariamente prevista per affrontare WBC e WBO medio campione del Mondo Christina Hammer novembre 17, ma l'incontro è stato rinviato dopo Hammer si ritirò a causa di motivi di salute.

 

Forse il cambiamento di avversari da Hammer a Rankin influenzare la tua formazione?

 

 

 

Non mi alleno per i miei avversari, Ho solo spingere per ottenere il meglio da me, fisicamente e mentalmente. Se io sono il migliore di me ‘,’Io non devo preoccuparsi di chi è l'avversario. Il cambiamento degli avversari non mi ha disturbato affatto; la cosa peggiore di questo campo per me era solo tutti la data cambia - dover continuamente per ottenere la mia mente concentrata sul ritmo e la tempistica della formazione in funzione della data di lotta. Io non vedo l'ora entrare nel ring!

 

Hai combattuto a super medi 168 e di recente al peso medio 160 libbre. Come è la vostra formazione, dieta ed eventuali altri sforzi diversi per fare 160?

 

 

 

La formazione è sempre difficile e sto imparando costantemente. Ho avuto una dieta completamente diverso questo campo - un vero e proprio cambiamento e uno positivo per me. Ho collaborai con Perfecting atleti per i miei pasti giornalieri, e mi sento benissimo. Ho sempre cercato di mangiare sano, ma queste persone sono pro e sono più istruiti in quel campo di me. Ho questa bevanda magica che fa il mio sorriso stomaco - I love it! E di cocomero mescolato con una verdura verde. Non ho intenzione di dirvi cosa ortaggio che è, ma ho bevuto tutti i giorni, e mi sento benissimo.

 

I vostri numeri di audience sono stati molto forte. Perché pensi che le persone sono attratte da voi?

 

 

 

Io credo che le persone sono attratte da quanto sia reale e onesto am, dentro e fuori dal ring. Io dico quello che voglio dire e dire quello che dico. Sono duro ma ho un lato morbido anche. E penso che le persone sono attratte da come io combatto — non solo posso parlare un buon gioco, ma io combatto la mia una– fuori troppo! io do 1000% ogni volta - Voglio cambiare il gioco e portare una nuova generazione di appassionati di boxe femminile e boxe complessiva.

 

Cosa sai del tuo avversario Hannah Rankin?

 

 

 

So che il mio avversario Rankin è molto dura e determinata a essere un campione del mondo. Mi piace la sua auto, Mi piace il suo cuore. So che lei è stato sul ring come uno sparring partner per molti campioni, un essere Christina Hammer. Quindi, Rankin ha visto alcuni combattenti buoni. Ma una cosa è certa - non ha mai visto un combattente come me. E poiché Martello non poteva combattere a causa della sua condizione medica, in molti modi la cosa migliore da fare è quella di combattere e battere il suo sparring partner e lasciare Rankin dire Hammer ciò che lei è in per i ritorni quando lei!

 

Ciò che deve essere fatto per risolvere la crisi idrica Flint?

 

 

Per risolvere la selce crisi idrica, Penso che la gente dovrebbe continuare a dare acqua e anche di evitare la notizia che c'è una città in America, dove, incredibilmente, i cittadini degli Stati Uniti non hanno acqua pulita. E speriamo che il presidente o il nostro governatore fare qualcosa per risolvere tutti i tubi.

 

Qual è il segreto per diventare il meglio del meglio in qualsiasi sport?

 

 

 

Credo che inizia il segreto con il credere in se stessi, essere dedicato, lavorando sodo e appena sempre cercando di essere meglio. Mi sento il mio più grande critico quando mi alleno e la scatola. E 'difficile vedere il film dei miei scontri perché, anche se sto facendo 97 le cose per bene non riesco proprio a sopportare di vedere la 3 Le cose che sto facendo male. Io sono una persona che si sforza di tirare fuori il mio pieno potenziale. Ci vuole coraggio per essere grande. Niente potrà stare nel modo di raggiungere i miei obiettivi, che comprende essendo il GWOAT e la creazione di uguaglianza per tutti i combattenti le donne quando si tratta di soldi, opportunità e la copertura degli uomini ottengono.

“This fight is personal to me,"Lui ha detto. “Not for the same reasons as my opponent; anger and hostility have nothing to do with it. Per me, it’s all about the energy of the risk and challenge. That’s what life is about: ‘growth through challenge,’ so I’m excited for this opportunity.”
