Two-Division Champion Preparing for Undisputed Middleweight
Championship Showdown Against Christina Hammer in 2019

FLINT, MY. (Joulukuu 19, 2018) – Claressa Shields has had a banner career year in 2018, capped off by recently being named the Boxing Writers Association of America’s Female Fighter of the Year and ThePrizeFighters.com’s Fighter of the Year and Fight of the Year for her victory over Hanna Gabriels.

In addition to her recently announced honors, Shields was also inducted into the USA Boxing Hall of Fame and was a Women’s Sports Foundation nominee for Sportswoman of the Year earlier this year.

“I’m happy with my progress and accomplishments in 2018 but I’m even happier about the tremendous advances of women’s boxing this year,” said Shields. “We will make even more history in 2019, including my fight with Hammer to crown the undisputed middleweight champion of world.”

This has been the pinnacle year for women’s prizefighting and for Shields, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and unified middleweight champion. Shields showed her deserved place among the top of the field by displaying her skills and grit in each one of her contests. She went 4-0 and beat opponents with a combined record of 49-4 including two world champions in Hanna Gabriels and Femke Hermans, plus one multi-time former world champion in Tori Nelson.

Shields won three middleweight world title belts (WBC, WBA ja IBF) in her second weight division and was the only fighter to fight major bouts on SHOWTIME, HBO and and new streaming service DAZN.

This monumental year will lead into what will be the biggest fight of her career, when she takes on middleweight world champion Christina Hammer for the undisputed middleweight championship in 2019.

“Claressa has had a meteoric rise this year with her impressive accomplishments inside and outside the ring,” said promoter Dmitriy Salita “This has been a breakout year in many ways for women’s boxing and Claressa has been on the forefront of this monumental progress. It’s great to see her work recognized with these highly respected awards and honors she is receiving for all her victories inside and outside the ring this year. We are looking forward to a great 2019.”

“I am incredibly proud of Claressa Shields as a champion of boxing, women’s sports, and gender equality,” said Mark Taffet, Shields’ manager. “Her accomplishments in 2018 continued to break the barriers and glass ceilings previously in place. On Claressa’s broad shoulders inside and outside the ring, we will continue to make history in 2019. I can’t wait for the Shields vs Hammer superfight and Claressa’s consideration for the top pound for pound list regardless of gender.”

Jätä kommentti

Having solidified herself as a legitimate women’s star in her own right with her gallant performance against Claressa Shields last June, world champion Hanna Gabriels (18-2-1, 11 KOs) will return to her homeland to face Australia’s Sarah Dwyer on Saturday, Tammikuu 26, at the Avenida Escazu in San Jose, Costa Rica.

The 10-round battle will be in defense of Gabriels’ WBA Super Welterweight Championship.

Dwyer (3-4-2, 1 KO) is coming off a draw for the Australian Championship against undefeated Tayla Harris in November.

This will be Gabriels’ first fight since the impressive showing against Shields, where she had the women’s superstar down in the first round before losing an exciting and close decision. The fight is being called the Women’s Fight of the Year for 2018.

“I’m feeling amazing training with my husband and just ready to get back,” said Gabriels. “She’s (Dwyer) a warrior will try to come and chop my head off, but we will send her back to Australia quick enough.”

Gabriels’ manager, Hector Cordova, says Dwyer is the first stop of a comeback that includes a return go with Shields and some other big names in women’s boxing.

“I am really proud of Hanna and everything she does for the community in Costa Rica. She is a hero inside and outside the ring; a real-life world success story. Our goal is to unify the 154-lb. divisioona. We want to raise women’s boxing to new heights and eventually rematch Claressa and fight (women’s unified welterweight champion) Cecilia Brækhus. Hanna is the best 154-lb fighter in the world: a point we look forward to proving once again on January 26.”

Promoter Dmitriy Salita says that Gabriels’ name belongs among the best names in the sport. “Hanna is one of the best female fighters in the world. Her world-class skills make her one of the biggest names in all of women’s boxing. Tammikuu 26 is going to be a great night and will open a door of exciting new opportunities for Hanna.”

“I want to thank all of my fans for supporting me always and showing me love even in defeat,” said the always gracious Gabriels. “That’s what makes me want it more and more. I want to fight Claressa and Cecilia and give my fans all I can before I leave the sport. I also want to thank my team because they’re amazing. Bryan Vasquez, mieheni, Hector Fernandez de Cordova, minun johtaja, Pedro Gonzalez and Esteban Quesada, my co-trainers and Dmitriy Salita for lending a hand when needed. I won’t disappoint you.”

Claressa Shields Is The BWAA’s 2018 Nainen Fighter of the Year

By Joseph Santoliquito/BWAA President

In a pivotal year for women’s boxing that saw the sport reach more
people than ever before, two-time United States Olympic gold medal
winner Claressa Shields continued to soar, as she successfully defended her two world middleweight titles, then added three super middleweight belts before the end of a campaign that earned her the 2018 Christy
Martin Award, which is given to the Boxing Writers Association of
America’s Female Fighter of the Year.


“I am thrilled and honored to receive the Fighter of the Year award from the Boxing Writers Association of America. It is a dream come true, and it furthers my goal to lift women’s boxing to new levels,” Shields said.


“Sisään 2019 my goals are to become undisputed champion, to be ranked in the top 10 pound-for-pound list regardless of gender, and to continue
the march of women’s boxing toward equality with men.”


The 23-year-old from Flint, Michigan becomes the second winner of the award, which was established in 2017. She will be honored at the
BWAA’s annual award dinner, which will take place in 2019 at a site and date to be determined.


“In such a big year for women’s boxing, it wasn’t a surprise that there
were so many worthy nominees for this award, but in 2018, Claressa
Shields took things to a new level by becoming a two-division world
champion and successfully defending her titles at both 168 ja 160
pounds in Showtime and HBO-televised bouts,” said Thomas Gerbasi,
chairman of the BWAA’s women’s boxing committee. “That’s impressive in its own right, but the fact that she’s done this all before her tenth pro
fight and under the glare of the spotlight that comes with being the face of the sport in the United States made her a unanimous choice for this
year’s Christy Martin Award.”


Joining Roy Jones Jr., Andre Ward and the late Emanuel Steward as
members of the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame’s Class of 2018, Shields began the year on a collision course with middleweight
champion Christina Hammer, but first she finished up her business at
168 pounds by successfully defending her IBF and WBC titles with a
shutout victory over Tori Nelson in January.

Next was Shields’ middleweight debut against Hanna Gabriels in June,
and what followed was a Fight of the Year candidate that saw Shields
rebound from the first knockdown of her career to win a clear-cut
decision and the IBF and WBA belts. Soon after, the news came that
Hammer had to withdraw from her November clash with Shields due to
injury, mutta “T Rex” didn’t slow down, as she defeated Hannah Rankin and Femke Hermans to successfully defend her middleweight titles while
adding the WBC crown to her trophy case.

Claressa Shields
“USA Boxing on perhe!”
USA Boxing Alumni Association, luokka 2018 inductee

COLORADO SPRINGS, Kierros. (Joulukuu 3, 2018) – Kaksinkertainen olympialaisten kultamitalisti Claressa Shields ei vain johda uusi aalto naisten nyrkkeilyyn, hänestä on tullut todellinen roolimalli lukemattomille nuorille.

Temple St.) kaupungissa Salt Lake City, Utah.

 

 

 

“tunnen oloni kunnioitetuksi,” Shields puhui osallistumisestaan ​​Yhdysvaltain Boxing Alumni Association -säätiön halliin,” olen vain 23 Vuotiaita vanhoja ihmisiä ja ilmoittaminen Yhdysvaltain nyrkkeilyhalli-kuuluisuuteen on suuri kunnia, mutta myös shokki minulle. Uskon, että olen kaiken kunnian arvoinen, mutta tiedän, että asiat vievät aikaa, ja ajattelin aina laittavani Hall of Fame iässä 40 tai 50. Tämä on iso juttu minulle ja tunnen olevani niin kunnia. Se, että mainitsen nimeni mainittakoon suuret nimet kuten Andre Ward ja Roy Jones, motivoi minua todella. Tunnen olevansa etuoikeutettu!”

 

 

 

Flintin ylpeys, Michigan, Shields on jo onnistuneesti suostunut amatööri menestyksensä ammattilaisjoukkueisiin, jossa hän on 7-0 (2), ja hallitseva yhtenäinen (IBF, WBA & WBC) maailma keskisarjan mestari.

“USA-nyrkkeily tuli elämääni kaksinkertaisena olympiavoittajana,” Claressa selitti Yhdysvaltain nyrkkeilysuhteitaan. “USA Boxin apu oli niin tärkeää: vain huomaa minua nuorena urheilijana ja tiedän olevani vahva nuori nainen edustamaan Yhdysvaltoja tulevaisuudessa; kokous Julie Goldsticker, joka oli minulle siunaus, koska hän auttoi minua paljon teini-ikäisenä, ja vain valmentaja Abdullahin kanssa, valmentaja Al Mitchell, ja valmentaja Gloria Peek opettaa minulle erilaisia ​​tyylejä ja kuinka käyttää kaikkia ominaisuuksiani. USA Boxing siunasi minut paljon tietämystä ja elinikäisiä ystävyyssuhteita kaikkien olympiajoukkueideni ja olympiavalmentajien kanssa. Lempivalmentajani, Koroma, oli kirjaimellisesti kanssani läpi 2015-2016, auttaen minua renkaan ulkopuolella neuvoilla ja renkaan sisällä.”

 

 

 

Kilvet ovat yksi naisten nyrkkeilyn voimista tänään, Amerikan naisten nyrkkeilypioneerien, kuten Christy Martin, Laila Ali ja muutama muu.

 

 

 

“Juuri nyt tapahtuu suuri muutos — minua, Mikaela Mayer, Franchon-miehistö, Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano ja muutama muu nainen kantaa taskulamppua naisten nyrkkeilyyn juuri nyt,” Shields selitti. “Edistyminen on ollut nopeaa, jokaisessa verkossa on ollut naisten taistelu televisiossa tänä vuonna, etenkin Showtime, johon olen laatinut päätapahtuman neljä kertaa. Naisten nyrkkeily voi mennä pitkälle. Uskon, että tulee päivä, jolloin meille voidaan maksaa miljoonia samoin kuin miehille.”

 

 

 

Avaamalla ovet ja murtaamalla esteet, Claressasta on tullut todellinen esimerkki nuorille kaikkialla, nyrkkeilystä sisään ja ulos.

 

 

 

“Tuntuu hyvältä olla roolimalli heille (naaraat), ja myös niin monelle urosbokserille,” Kilvet huomataan. “Nyrkkeily on eri aikakaudella, ja haluan vain helpottaa tytöille tulemista, joten kun he kääntyvät proksi, nyrkkeily on lähempänä tasa-arvoa.”

 

 

 

“Claressalla on yksi amatööriboksin historian suurimmista tarinoista,” sanoi Chris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Associationin pääjohtaja. “Hänen ajaa, sitoutuminen, lahjakkuus, ja hahmo teki hänestä USA: n nyrkkeily- ja olympiavoittaja, jättäen perinnön, joka kestää hyvin pitkään. Hän on naisten nyrkkeilyn edelläkävijä ja vakiinnuttanut paikkansa yhtenä kaikkien aikojen vaikutusvaltaisimmista USA Boxing Alumni -jäsenistä.. USA: n nyrkkeilyalumniiliitto haluaa kiittää häntä amatööri-nyrkkeilyyhteisön inspiroimisesta ja siitä, että se on ollut hyvä esimerkki seuraavan sukupolven mestarille.”

Kaikista kunnianosoituksista ja kiitoksista huolimatta, hän on saanut niin rikkaasti vastaan, Shields ei ole unohtanut, mistä kaikki alkoi, ja hän on edelleen aktiivisesti mukana USA: n nyrkkeilyssä.

 

 

 

“Pidän jatkuvasti yhteyttä monien naisurheilijoiden kanssa ja annan heille neuvoja, jos he kysyvät minulta,” Claressa lisäsi. “Kävin myös viidessä päivässä Coloradossa motivoivana ja pääpuhujana seuraavalle olympialaisten toivomukselle.

Haluan myös olla kouluopetaja ja neuvonantaja nuorille.”

Erityinen kiitos valmentaja Kaylle, myös, En voi luottaa käsiini, kuinka monta päivää harjoittelemme 1 aamulla, kuinka monta kertaa koputin hänen huoneen ovelle ja juoksin, kuinka monta kertaa hän on joutunut ottamaan puhelimeni minulta, koska itkin tai minulla oli perheongelma. Hän on valmentaja, jolle voin kertoa kaiken, ja hän siunasi minua myös nyrkkeilystaidollaan ja sai minut aina tuntemaan olonsa turvalliseksi itsessäni, kun hän oli nurkassa. USA Boxing ei ole vain henkilökuntaa – USA Boxing on perhe! Vaikka minulla on ollut muutama sana kanssani Matthew Johnson ja muu henkilöstö, Kiitän heitä siitä, että he ovat olleet ahkera minulle ja varmistivat, että olen hoitanut vastuuni. Rakkaus kaikelle USA: n nyrkkeilyhenkilökunnalle, Olen todella kiitollinen.”

Training Camp Almost Complete; A Confident and On-Weight Claressa Shields Ready for Hannah Rankin DAZN Showdown on November 17

Jätä kommentti

Women’s superstar and two-division world champion Claressa Shields is in Florida with trainer John David Jackson, finishing up preparations for her showdown with Glasgow, Scotland’s Hannahh Rankin on Saturday, Marraskuu 17, at the Kansas Star Arena and Casino in Mulvane, Kansas.

 

 

 

Shields (6-0, 2 KOs) will defend her IBF and WBA World Middleweight Championships, and be looking to add the vacant WBC title, against Rankin (5-2, 1 KO) in the 10-round co-featured bout to Salita Promotions stablemate Jarrell Miller’s heavyweight showdown against Romania’s Bogdan Dinu.

 

 

 

Both fights, along with former world champion Brandon Rios taking on Canelo’s brother, Ramon Alvarez, in a super welterweight 10-rounder and former two-time world middleweight title challenger Gabriel Rosado going against once-beaten contender Luis Arias, will be broadcast live on DAZN.

 

 

 

23-year-old Shields, a former two-time Olympic Gold Medallist, has reignited interest in women’s boxing and become a ratings favorite for her nationally televised championship exploits. A proud native of Flint, Michigan, Shields mixes her brash pronouncements of greatness with a genuine and continued effort to inspire female athletes and render aid to members of her home community.

 

 

 

Shields was originally scheduled to face WBC and WBO World Middleweight Champion Christina Hammer on November 17, but the bout was postponed after Hammer withdrew due to medical reasons.

 

Did the change of opponents from Hammer to Rankin affect your training?

 

 

 

I don’t train for my opponents, I just push to get the best out of me, fyysisesti ja henkisesti. If I’m the best ‘me,’ I don’t have to worry about who the opponent is. The change of opponents didn’t bother me at all; the worst thing about this camp for me was just all the date changes – constantly having to get my mind focused on the pace and timing of training depending on the fight date. I can’t wait to get in the ring!

 

You’ve fought at super middleweight 168 and recently at middleweight 160 kiloa. How is your training, diet and any other efforts different to make 160?

 

 

 

Training is always hard and I’m constantly learning. I’ve had a completely different diet this camp – a real change and a positive one for me. I’ve teamed up with Perfecting Athletes for my daily meals, ja minusta tuntuu hyvältä. I’ve always tried to eat healthy but these folks are pros and are more educated in that field than myself. I have this magic drink that makes my stomach smile – I love it! It’s watermelon mixed with a green vegetable. I’m not going to tell you what vegetable it is, but I’ve been drinking it everyday, and I feel GREAT.

 

Your viewership numbers have been very strong. Why do you think people are drawn to you?

 

 

 

I believe that people are drawn to how real and honest I am, sekä sisään ja ulos rengas. I say what I mean and mean what I say. I’m hard but I have a soft side also. And I think people are drawn to how I fight — not only do I talk a good game but I fight my a– off too! annan 1000% every time – I want to change the game and bring a whole new generation of fans to women’s boxing and boxing overall.

 

What do you know about your opponent Hannah Rankin?

 

 

 

I know that my opponent Rankin is very tough and determined to be a world champion. I like her drive, I like her heart. I know that she has been in the ring as a sparring partner for many champions, one being Christina Hammer. So Rankin has seen some good fighters. But one thing is for sure – she has never seen a fighter like me. And since Hammer couldn’t fight because of her medical condition, in many ways the next best thing is to fight and beat her sparring partner and let Rankin tell Hammer what she’s in for when she returns!

 

What needs to be done to solve the Flint water crisis?

 

 

To solve the flint Water crisis, I think that people should continue to give water and also keep it in the news that there is a city in America where, unbelievably, US citizens don’t have clean water. And hopefully the president or our governor do something to fix all the pipes.

 

What’s the secret to becoming the best of the best in any sport?

 

 

 

I believe the secret starts with believing in yourself, being dedicated, working hard and just always striving to be better. I feel I’m my biggest critic when I train and box. It’s hard to watch film of my fights because even though I’m doing 97 things right I just can’t stand to see the 3 things I’m doing wrong. I’m a person who strives to pull out my full potential. It takes guts to be great. Nothing will stand in the way of achieving my goals, which includes being the GWOAT and creating equality for all women fighters when it comes to the money, opportunities and coverage the men get.
