Le jeune homme de 23 ans est devenu professionnel suite à la 2016 Olympiques et est devenue championne du monde unifiée des super-moyens féminins lors de son quatrième combat professionnel. Shields commence maintenant son premier camp avec l'entraîneur renommé John David Jackson alors qu'elle tente de devenir une championne en deux divisions.

Si Shields et Hammer sont tous deux victorieux lors de leurs combats de 160 livres en juin 22, elles se rencontreront dans un blockbuster d'automne sur SHOWTIME pour déterminer la championne du monde incontestée des poids moyens.

 

Comment s'est déroulé le camp d'entraînement jusqu'à présent?

«Le camp d'entraînement a été formidable. C’était amusant et j’ai travaillé mes fesses. J'ai hâte de monter sur le ring avec un autre champion et d'écrire l'histoire en remportant le titre mondial dans ma deuxième division de poids!"

Que peuvent attendre les fans de vous en juin 22?

"Les fans peuvent s'attendre à ce que je me batte comme si j'étais Okoye de Wakanda! Je n’ai jamais été aussi motivé, plus prêt, et plus capable de relever les défis et d'atteindre mes objectifs. Je veux me battre le meilleur, et je veux être le meilleur de tous les temps. Je vais tout donner en juin 22 contre Hanna Gabriels pour remporter un titre mondial dans ma deuxième division de poids, alors je veux Christina Hammer, afin que nous puissions unifier toutes les ceintures de poids moyen, et ensuite je viserai le titre mondial de 154 livres. »

 

Quels sont vos futurs objectifs en boxe?

«Je veux élever la boxe féminine pour toutes les femmes du passé, présent et futur. Je veux l'égalité des femmes et des hommes dans la boxe. Je veux être reconnu comme l'un des meilleurs livres pour livres dans le sport chez les hommes et les femmes, aucune étiquette de genre. Et je veux être connue comme la meilleure boxeuse de tous les temps. Je suis prêt. Venez à Detroit en juin 22 et vois moi vivre, regarde moi sur SHOWTIME, et rejoignez l'équipe alors que nous écrivons l'histoire!"

Qu'avez-vous appris en vous entraînant avec John David Jackson?
«L'entraîneur John est très compétent, il a travaillé avec moi sur ma patience. Il admire la bête en moi, mais veut juste que je le contrôle davantage et que je sois intelligent. Il a participé aux plus grandes batailles avec de grands champions du monde, et je suis heureux d’avoir son expérience et ses connaissances au sein de mon équipe. »

À quoi ressemble votre journée typique au camp?
«Une journée typique au camp peut se dérouler selon l'un des deux plans. Plan 1 est-ce que je me réveille à 9 suis, me préparer un petit déjeuner (2 oeufs bouillis, 2 morceaux de bacon de dinde et asperges cuites à la vapeur) ou un smoothie aux fruits. À 11 suis-je à la salle de gym. Par1:30 h, Je suis au gym. Mon entraînement consiste généralement en des exercices de sac, travail des mitaines, boxe invisible, corde à sauter, speed bag et anneaux de forage. Ensuite, je nage ou je cours à 6 pm le même jour. Les jours où je planifie 2, Je me réveille toujours à 9 suis et prends mon petit déjeuner et puis 11 am-1:30 h, Je suis au gym. Mais juste après ça, Je fais de la force et du conditionnement, qui se compose de sauts de boîte, squats muets, quelques exercices avec des poids pour le haut de mon corps, ou une course de quatre milles.

Avez-vous apporté des modifications à votre formation et de la nutrition pour votre premier combat au poids moyen?
« Juste après mon combat avec Tori Nelson, Je savais que je combattrai prochain au poids moyen, donc je suis resté dans la salle de gym trois fois par semaine jusqu'à ce que Mark (Taffet) m'a dit que nous SECURISE Juin 22 sur SHOWTIME contre Hanna Gabriels. Mais pour bien-moyens, Je devais en apprendre davantage sur mon corps un peu plus. Perdre du poids est plus sur une routine qu'il est de manger moins de nourriture. La bonne chose pour moi est que j'aime la nourriture saine - mon corps et l'esprit se sentent mieux quand je mange de cette façon. La seule différence est dans le camp que je mange de plus petites portions de la nourriture que je l'aime et boire beaucoup plus d'eau. Ce camp, je suis lourd sur les poissons, toutes sortes de poissons de morue, Saumon, Saumon atlantique — avec des côtés d'asperges, patates douces, le riz ou les épinards. Et l'horloge du corps est important, donc pas manger après 7 h. Je me sens grand et sera dans la meilleure forme de ma vie quand je suis dans cet anneau le 22 Juin »

Qui sont vos partenaires sparring?

"Jusque là, J'ai sparred avec Matt Korobov et Daniyar Yelluisar. J'aime spar avec les hommes - je trouve que la force et la vitesse me permet de tirer le meilleur parti du sparring « .

Qu'avez-vous fait différemment dans la préparation pour ce combat?

« Eh bien, je dis toujours, mais je ne suis pas prêt à faire face à mes adversaires - mon entraîneur John David Jackson se concentre davantage sur l'adversaire que moi. Je viens d'obtenir prêt à être la meilleure version de moi. Je l'ai vu le film d'Hannah et je ne suis pas impressionné - Je sais qu'elle est un champion et que je respecte, mais je ne l'ai jamais vu une femme qui peut rester dans le ring avec moi. Ça va prendre deux elle pour avoir une chance de me battre « .

“I know I will be tough to knock out and have no plans of going down. Claressa has gotten all the hype so far and she wants to put on a show for her fans. I’m going to do everything I can to send those fans home upset after I beat her and carry those belts out of the ring.

 

“This is my second fight with my trainer Rene [Friese]. I wanted to train with the best and I need a trainer who had worked with the top fighters.

 

“My trainer has really been stressing strategies. We have a lot of them. The game plan is simple: Win the fight.

 

“Fighting for the first time in the United States is going to be amazing. I’ve only fought in Russia and Germany, so to be here in a main event on SHOWTIME is really special.”

Claressa SHIELDS:

“I feel like I’m a lot healthier and hydrated than I did fighting at 160. I’m not sluggish. I used a chef who prepared my meals for the first time and I feel great.

 

“I’ve known about Nikki Adler and Christina Hammer for a long time. I like both of the girls, but when it comes to getting in the ring it’s all about business.

 

“Technically I see that [Nikki] is very poised and calm. She’s patient, but not too patient.

 

“Even though she may be the bigger fighter, I know I’m the aggressor. I think I can get her out in six rounds.

 

“Of course everyone wants to get the big knockout, but I haven’t found the right punch that gets the girls knocked out. I’m young so I know it will come.

 

“I’m glad Cyborg is here to support me. She hits hard and we’ve sparred. She’s strong and she is fast. She’s picked up a lot from me, and I’ve learned from her. She’s the most feared MMA fighter, and I’m most feared in boxing. So it’s great for both women’s sports.”

 

VLADIMIR TIKHONOV:

“This is my first time ever in America. I’m pretty impressed with it. There’s so much to do and see, but I can’t let distractions get in the way.

 

“I’ve been here for about a month training at Kronk Gym. Russian fighters are known for being very disciplined, and we know the opportunity that is in front of us. There is no room for slip ups and to get lazy. This is my big shot and I’m going to take advantage of it.

 

“The sparring has been the biggest thing. I’ve been sparring with pros and amateurs. It’s so much more powerful here and the variety is something I would never get at home.

 

“I can box and I can brawl. Whatever I have to do to get the win.”

 

JESSE HERNANDEZ:

“I had a layoff of about five years and worked construction jobs because I had to pay the bills, but now I’m back and focused on boxing.

 

“In the past I’ve been known to be too aggressive, so I’m going to try and slow things down and be a more tactical boxer.

 

“I have six brothers who were professional boxers and I’ve learned from them. My nickname is ‘The One’ because now I’m the only left fighting.

 

“I’m the youngest of 15 enfants, all with the same parents. We are a very close family.

 

“I’m a natural right-hander and I’m ready to fight a lefty like Tikhonov. I’ve fought some southpaws and I’ve been sparring with lefties.

 

“He’s undefeated for a reason. I don’t think he’s been in there with someone as tough as I am; as aggressive as I am.”

 

RENE FRIESE, Adler’s trainer

“We came all the way over here to bring home the belts back to Germany.

 

“We have our plan and our strategy in place. We are ready for this fight.”

 

JASON CRUTCHFIELD, Shields’ trainer

“There hasn’t been much smack talking for this fight. I told her you need to let your fists do your talking. Your mouth can’t help you in the ring.

 

“We are ready for 10 tours. I’m not going to say it’s hard; it’s doable. It’s her first time doing it. We’ve trained for it and she’s been 10 rounds in training three or four times.”

Q&A WITH CLARESSA SHIELDS

TWO-TIME OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST, FIGHTING FOR FIRST WORLD TITLE NEXT WEEK, SOUNDS OFF ON OPPONENT NIKKI ADLER AND RISING CELEBRITY STATUS

DETROIT (Juillet 28, 2017) – Two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Claressa “T-Rex” Shields (3-0, 1 KO) says she’s in the shape of her life to take on reigning WBC Super Middleweight World Champion Nikki Adler (16-0, 9 KOs) of Germany next Vendredi, Août 4, at the MGM Grand Detroit.
Shields will challenge for her first world title in the 10-round main event of Salita Promotions’ “BATTLE OF THE BEST” événement, which will be televised live on ShoBox: La Nouvelle Génération (10:30 p.m. ET/PT).
Shields says she’s not rattled by Adler’s recent remarks, that the United States should be ready for their golden girl to taker her first loss. En fait, she’s never rattled. She also gives her thoughts on her recent Twitter war with another top female fighter.
Give me your thoughts on Nikki Adler’s remarks about the US being ready for her to beat you.
Nikki has to pump herself up, so she will say a lot the week of the fight. The US is ready alrightready for its 2x Olympic gold medal winner to win her first pro world title!
Does it intimidate you or make you train harder when an opponent talks this way?
I’ve never been intimidated by anyone. I have had worse things said to me, I was gonna punish Nikki whether she talked trash or not.
Talk to me about the pressure surrounding this fight. You’re going for your first world title so early with the entire world watching.
I always have the entire world watching. Some people want me to win and some want the opposite! But I know what I can do, I’m just going to do it and dominate like always. No pressure!
Tell me about winning all these awards and coming even further to the forefront of national celebrity.
Winning awards is great; being recognized and respected is great also. I’ve done something that no other person in America has done, I’m the GWOAT!
Do you do anything different in training for a world title fight?
Oui, you focus more, recover more, spar more rounds, and drink plenty of water! I’ve never been more ready!
Do you believe Nikki Adler has never watched you fight?
Ne Pas, I don’t believe she hasn’t ever watched me fight. That’s all mind games! She wants me to believe that. But in all honesty, nothing on the internet can help her in a fight against me!
Do you dislike her now?
(Laughs) Dislike is for emotional females! I love her! I’m gonna kick her ass! And give her a big thank you after.
Tell me about your Twitter feud with (fellow top female boxer) Layla McCarter. What’s going on there?
Layla McCarter talks too much. For no reason. I didn’t have a problem with her at first, but she just upset because I say I’m P4P! And it’s the truth. She is just in denial! One minute she supports me and the next she is coming at me. In her interview after she beat Szabados, a girl I TKO’d in the fourth round previous, she says she can come to 160 and beat me. Then whenever I get props, or recognition, there she is again just saying slick stuff. I had to let her have it.
What will your philosophy be as world champion if you win?
I don’t do ‘ifs.WHEN I become world champion, my philosophy will be to be so great that even your enemies will start to love me. God has been my rock for many years. He says ‘be humble to him,’ which I am! But I don’t have to be humble to man when I speak about my God-given ability.
