Kamp Pelatihan Hampir Selesai; Claressa Shields yang Percaya Diri dan Berbobot Siap untuk Pertarungan Hannah Rankin DAZN pada November 17

Superstar wanita dan juara dunia dua divisi Claressa Shields berada di Florida bersama pelatih John David Jackson, menyelesaikan persiapan untuk pertarungannya dengan Glasgow, Hannahh Rankin dari Skotlandia pada hari Sabtu, November 17, di Kansas Star Arena and Casino di Mulvane, Kansas.

 

 

 

Shields (6-0, 2 Biaya) akan mempertahankan IBF dan Kejuaraan Kelas Menengah Dunia WBA, dan ingin menambahkan gelar WBC yang kosong, melawan Rankin (5-2, 1 KO) dalam pertarungan 10 ronde unggulan bersama untuk pertandingan kelas berat Salita Promotions stablemate Jarrell Miller melawan petenis Rumania Bogdan Dinu.

 

 

 

Keduanya bertarung, bersama dengan mantan juara dunia Brandon Rios menghadapi saudara laki-laki Canelo, Ramon Alvarez, dalam 10 ronde kelas welter super dan mantan penantang gelar kelas menengah dunia dua kali Gabriel Rosado melawan pesaing yang pernah kalah, Luis Arias, akan disiarkan langsung di DAZN.

 

 

 

23-Shields berusia tahun, mantan peraih medali emas Olimpiade dua kali, telah menghidupkan kembali minat pada tinju wanita dan menjadi favorit rating untuk eksploitasi kejuaraan yang disiarkan televisi secara nasional. Penduduk asli Flint yang bangga, Michigan, Shields mencampurkan pernyataan kurang ajar tentang kebesarannya dengan upaya tulus dan berkelanjutan untuk menginspirasi atlet wanita dan memberikan bantuan kepada anggota komunitas asalnya.

 

 

 

Shields awalnya dijadwalkan untuk menghadapi WBC dan WBO World Middleweight Champion Christina Hammer pada November 17, tapi pertarungan ditunda setelah Hammer mundur karena alasan medis.

 

Apakah pergantian lawan dari Hammer ke Rankin memengaruhi latihan Anda?

 

 

 

Saya tidak berlatih untuk lawan saya, Saya hanya mendorong untuk mendapatkan yang terbaik dari saya, secara fisik dan mental. Jika saya yang terbaik 'saya,'Saya tidak perlu khawatir tentang siapa lawannya. Pergantian lawan sama sekali tidak mengganggu saya; Hal terburuk tentang kamp ini bagi saya hanyalah semua perubahan tanggal - terus-menerus harus memfokuskan pikiran saya pada kecepatan dan waktu pelatihan tergantung pada tanggal pertarungan. Saya tidak sabar untuk naik ring!

 

Anda telah bertarung di kelas menengah super 168 dan baru-baru ini di kelas menengah 160 pon. Bagaimana pelatihan Anda, diet dan upaya lain yang berbeda untuk dilakukan 160?

 

 

 

Pelatihan selalu sulit dan saya terus belajar. Saya menjalani diet yang sangat berbeda di kamp ini - perubahan nyata dan positif bagi saya. Saya telah bekerja sama dengan Perfecting Athletes untuk makanan harian saya, dan saya merasa hebat. Saya selalu mencoba makan sehat tetapi orang-orang ini pro dan lebih berpendidikan di bidang itu daripada saya. Saya memiliki minuman ajaib yang membuat perut saya tersenyum - saya menyukainya! Semangka dicampur dengan sayuran hijau. Saya tidak akan memberi tahu Anda apa itu sayuran, tapi saya sudah meminumnya setiap hari, dan saya merasa HEBAT.

 

Jumlah penonton Anda sangat kuat. Menurut Anda mengapa orang tertarik kepada Anda?

 

 

 

Saya percaya bahwa orang tertarik pada betapa nyata dan jujurnya saya, baik dalam dan keluar dari ring. Saya mengatakan apa yang saya maksud dan sungguh-sungguh dengan apa yang saya katakan. Saya keras tetapi saya juga memiliki sisi yang lembut. Dan saya pikir orang tertarik pada cara saya bertarung — tidak hanya saya berbicara tentang permainan yang bagus tetapi saya melawan a– off juga! saya beri 1000% setiap saat - Saya ingin mengubah permainan dan membawa generasi baru penggemar tinju dan tinju wanita secara keseluruhan.

 

Apa yang Anda ketahui tentang lawan Anda, Hannah Rankin?

 

 

 

Saya tahu bahwa lawan saya Rankin sangat tangguh dan bertekad untuk menjadi juara dunia. Saya suka drive-nya, Saya suka hatinya. Saya tahu bahwa dia telah berada di atas ring sebagai rekan tanding bagi banyak juara, salah satunya adalah Christina Hammer. Jadi Rankin telah melihat beberapa petarung yang bagus. Tapi satu hal yang pasti - dia belum pernah melihat petarung sepertiku. Dan karena Hammer tidak dapat melawan karena kondisi medisnya, dalam banyak hal, hal terbaik berikutnya adalah melawan dan mengalahkan rekan tandingnya dan membiarkan Rankin memberi tahu Hammer apa yang dia hadapi saat dia kembali!

 

Apa yang perlu dilakukan untuk mengatasi krisis air Flint?

 

 

Untuk mengatasi krisis air batu, Saya pikir orang harus terus memberi air dan juga terus mengabarkan bahwa ada kota di Amerika di mana, luar biasa, Warga AS tidak memiliki air bersih. Dan semoga presiden atau gubernur kita melakukan sesuatu untuk memperbaiki semua pipa.

 

Apa rahasia menjadi yang terbaik dari yang terbaik dalam olahraga apa pun?

 

 

 

Saya percaya rahasianya dimulai dengan percaya pada diri sendiri, berdedikasi, bekerja keras dan selalu berusaha untuk menjadi lebih baik. Saya merasa saya adalah kritikus terbesar saya saat berlatih dan bertinju. Sulit untuk menonton film perkelahian saya karena meskipun saya melakukannya 97 semuanya benar. Saya tidak tahan melihat 3 hal-hal yang saya lakukan salah. Saya adalah orang yang berusaha mengeluarkan seluruh potensi saya. Butuh keberanian untuk menjadi hebat. Tidak ada yang menghalangi pencapaian tujuan saya, yang mencakup menjadi GWOAT dan menciptakan kesetaraan bagi semua pejuang wanita dalam hal uang, peluang dan cakupan yang didapat pria.
