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,", dixo 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.”

Women’s World Champion Hanna Gabriels Returns to Defend Against Sarah Dwyer on January 26

Leave a comment

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, Xaneiro 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. división. 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. Xaneiro 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, Meu home, Hector Fernandez de Cordova, meu director, 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 Feminino Loitador do Ano

Leave a comment

Prema AQUI to read online|

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.


“En 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 e 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, pero “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 INDUCTED INTO USA BOXING ALUMNI ASSOCIATION HALL OF FAME

Leave a comment
Paving the way for female boxers…..
Claressa Shields
“USA Boxing is family!”
Asociación de Antigos Alumnos de Boxeo dos Estados Unidos, clase de 2018 Inductee

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Decembro 3, 2018) – Two-time Olympic gold medalist Claressa Shields not only is spearheading a new wave in women’s boxing, she has developed into a true role model for countless youths.

 

 

 

Shields will be inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame this Friday night in Salt Lake City, along with Class of 2018 membros Roy Jones Jr. e, Andre Ward, as well as the late Emanuel Stewarte Tom Cleary.

 

 

 

The second annual USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame reception, held in conjunction with the 2018 USA Boxing Elite and Youth National Championships and Junior and Prep Open, Decembro 2-8, will be held December 7, at the Radisson Hotel (215 S. Temple St.) en Salt Lake City, Utah.

 

 

 

“I feel honored,” Shields spoke about being inducted into the USA Boxing Alumni Association Hall of Fame,” I am only 23 years old and to be inducted into the USA Boxing Hall of Fame is a great honor, but also a shock to me. I believe I am worthy of any honor, but I know things take time, and I always thought I would put in the Hall of Fame at the age 40 ou 50. This is a big deal to me and I feel so honored. Just to have my name mentioned alongside names of greats like Andre Ward and Roy Jones just really motivates me. I feel privileged!”

 

 

 

The pride of Flint, Michigan, Shields has already successfully parlayed her amateur success to the professional ranks, in which she is 7-0 (2), and the reigning unified (IBF, WBA & WBC) campión dos medios do mundo.

 

 

 

Shields finished her amateur career with an incredible 77-1 (18 Kos) rexistro, highlighted by her Olympic gold-medal-performances in 2012 e 2016. She hasn’t lost in the ring since 2012, cando Savannah Marshall (Inglaterra) won on points, 14-8, at the World Championships in China.

 

 

 

“USA Boxing came into my life as a two-time Junior Olympic champion,” Claressa explained her USA Boxing relationship. “The help from USA Boxing was so important: just noticing me as a young athlete and knowing I would be a strong young woman to represent the USA in the future; reunión Julie Goldsticker, who was a blessing for me as she helped me with a lot as a teenager, and just having Coach Abdullah, adestrador Al Mitchell, and coach Gloria Peek teach me different styles and how to use all my attributes. USA Boxing blessed me with a lot of knowledge and life-long friendships with all my Olympic teammates and Olympic coaches. My favorite coach, Koroma, literally was with me the whole way through 2015-2016, helping me outside the ring with advice and inside the ring.”

 

 

 

Shields is one of the driving forces in women’s boxing today, carrying the torch handed off by American female boxing pioneers such as Christy Martin, Laila Alí and a few others.

 

 

 

“There is great change going on right now — me, Mikaela Mayer, Franchon Crews, Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano and a few other women are carrying the torch for women’s boxing right now,” Shields explained. “Progress has been fast, every network has had a women’s fight on television this year, especially Showtime, on which I have boxed the main event four times. Women’s boxing can go far. I believe the day will come when we can be paid millions just like men.”

 

 

 

By opening doors and breaking down obstacles, Claressa has become a true role model for youngsters all over, in and out of boxing.

 

 

 

“It feels good to be a role model for them (females), and also for so many male boxers,” Shields noted. “Boxing is in a different era and I just want to make it easier for girls coming up, so when they turn pro, boxing will be closer to equality.”

 

 

 

“Claressa has one of the greatest stories in the history of amateur boxing,” dito Chris Cugliari, USA Boxing Alumni Association Executive Director. “Her drive, commitment, talento, and character made her a USA Boxing and Olympic champion, leaving a legacy that will last for a very long time. She is a trailblazer for women’s boxing and has established her place as one of the most influential USA Boxing Alumni members of all time. The USA Boxing Alumni Association wants to thank her for inspiring the amateur boxing community and serving as a great role model for the next generation of champions.”

Para incorporarse á Asociación de Antigos Alumnos, simplemente rexistrarse en alumni@usaboxing.org para a $40.00 cota de socio anual. Os novos socios recibirán unha camiseta, chaveiro e carteira electrónica.

 

 

 

 

Despite all the honors and accolades, she has so richly received, Shields hasn’t forgotten where it all started, and she’s still actively involved in USA Boxing.

 

 

 

“I keep in contact with a lot of the female athletes and give them advice if they ask me,” Claressa added. “I also went to Colorado for five days to be a motivator and keynote speaker for the Next Olympic Hopeful. After my career is over in about 15 anos, I want to be a boxing trainer and lead the women’s team to more Olympic gold medals, if given the opportunity. I also want to be a school teacher and a counselor for youth.”

 

 

 

Shields, desgraciadamente, is unable to attend this Friday night’s Hall of Fame reception because she’s in deep training for her titles defense this Saturday evening on HBO, live from the StubHub Center in Carson, California, contra Fenmke Hermans (9-1).

 

 

 

“Desafortunadamente,” Shields concluded, “I can’t be there but, if I was there, I would say: Thank you to USA Boxing for believing in me at the age of 16. It was an honor to represent America, not only once but two times in the Olympics! I thank Coach Porra (Walsh) for making me dig deep, by having to deal with his Irish ways and jokes, also for changing the culture of USA Boxing. A special thank you to coach Kay, tamén, I can’t count on my hands how many days we trained at 1 son., how many times I knocked on his room door and ran, how many times he has had to take my phone from me because I was crying or having a family problem. He is the coach I could tell everything to, and he also blessed me with his boxing knowledge and made me always feel secure in myself when he was in the corner. USA Boxing isn’t just staff – USA Boxing is family! Even though I’ve had a few words with Matthew Johnson and other staff, I thank them for being hard on me and making sure I handled my responsibilities. Love to all USA Boxing staff, I’m truly thankful.”

 

 

 

Claressa Shields is much more than world and Olympian champion, she’s a class act as well, exactly what’s so desperately needed today.

Shields (6-0, 2 Kos) defenderá os seus campionatos mundiais de peso medio da IBF e da AMB, e buscar engadir o título vacante do CMB, contra Rankin (5-2, 1 KO) no enfrontamento de 10 asaltos co compañeiro de establo de Salita Promotions Jarrell Miller contra o romanés Bogdan Dinu..

 

 

 

Ambas loitas, xunto co excampión do mundo Brandon Ríos enfrontándose ao irmán de Canelo, Ramón Álvarez, nun peso súper wélter de 10 asaltos e antigo retador do título mundial de peso mediano Gabriel Rosado que enfrontará ao contendente Luis Arias, unha vez derrotado., será retransmitido en directo por DAZN.

 

 

 

23-Escudos de anos, un antigo medallista de ouro olímpico en dúas ocasións, reavivou o interese polo boxeo feminino e converteuse nunha das favoritas polas súas fazañas de campionato televisado a nivel nacional.. Un orgulloso nativo de Flint, Michigan, Shields mestura as súas descaradas declaracións de grandeza cun esforzo xenuíno e continuo para inspirar ás deportistas e prestar axuda aos membros da súa comunidade natal..

 

 

 

O Shields estaba programado orixinalmente para enfrontarse á campioa mundial do peso medio do CMB e da OMB, Christina Hammer, en novembro 17, pero o combate aprazouse despois de que Hammer retirase por motivos médicos.

 

O cambio de opoñentes de Hammer a Rankin afectou o teu adestramento??

 

 

 

Non adestro para os meus adversarios, Só preme para sacar o mellor de min, física e mentalmente. Se eu son o mellor 'eu,Non teño que preocuparme por quen é o rival. O cambio de opoñentes non me molestou nada; o peor deste campamento para min foron todos os cambios de data: ter que centrarme constantemente no ritmo e no momento do adestramento dependendo da data da loita.. Non podo esperar para entrar no ring!

 

Loitaches en peso súper mediano 168 e recentemente en peso medio 160 libras. Como é o teu adestramento, dieta e calquera outro esforzo diferente a realizar 160?

 

 

 

Adestrar sempre é difícil e estou aprendendo constantemente. Este campamento tiven unha dieta completamente diferente: un cambio real e positivo para min. Colaborei con Perfecting Athletes para as miñas comidas diarias, e síntome xenial. Sempre tentei comer sa, pero estas persoas son profesionais e son máis educadas nese campo ca min.. Teño esta bebida máxica que fai sorrir o meu estómago: encántame! É a sandía mesturada cunha verdura verde. Non vos vou dicir que vexetais é, pero estiven tomando todos os días, e síntome xenial.

 

Os teus números de audiencia foron moi altos. Por que cres que a xente se siente atraída por ti?

 

 

 

Creo que a xente está atraída polo real e honesto que son, tanto dentro como fóra do anel. Digo o que quero dicir e quero dicir o que digo. Son duro pero tamén teño un lado suave. E creo que a xente está atraída por como loito — non só falo un bo xogo senón que loito contra o meu a– apagado tamén! dou 1000% cada vez: quero cambiar o xogo e traer unha nova xeración de fans ao boxeo e ao boxeo feminino en xeral..

 

Que sabes sobre a túa opoñente Hannah Rankin?

 

 

 

Sei que o meu rival Rankin é moi duro e está decidido a ser campión do mundo. Gústame a súa condución, Gústame o seu corazón. Sei que estivo no ring como compañeira de sparring de moitos campións, unha delas é Christina Hammer. Entón Rankin viu algúns bos loitadores. Pero unha cousa é segura: nunca viu un loitador coma min. E xa que Hammer non puido loitar pola súa condición médica, en moitos sentidos, o seguinte mellor é loitar e vencer ao seu compañeiro de combate e deixar que Rankin lle diga a Hammer o que está a facer cando volva.!

 

Que hai que facer para solucionar a crise da auga de Flint?

 

 

Para resolver o sílex Crise da auga, Creo que a xente debería seguir dando auga e tamén mantelo nas noticias de que hai unha cidade en América onde, incriblemente, Os cidadáns estadounidenses non teñen auga potable. E esperemos que o presidente ou o noso gobernador fagan algo para arranxar todos os tubos.

 

Cal é o segredo para converterse no mellor dos mellores en calquera deporte?

 

 

 

Creo que o segredo comeza por crer en ti mesmo, sendo dedicado, traballando duro e esforzándose sempre por ser mellor. Sinto que son o meu maior crítico cando adestro e boxeo. É difícil ver películas das miñas pelexas porque aínda que o estou facendo 97 as cousas ben non soporto ver 3 cousas que estou facendo mal. Son unha persoa que me esforzo para sacar todo o meu potencial. Fai falla coraxe para ser xenial. Nada impedirá alcanzar os meus obxectivos, que inclúe ser o GWOAT e crear igualdade para todas as mulleres loitadoras no que se refire ao diñeiro, oportunidades e cobertura que obteñen os homes.
