What did Claressa Shields have to say about the sparring incident?

While Claressa Shields has never been knocked out in her professional boxing career, training sessions tell a different story. In 2018, she faced a knockout during sparring with male professional boxer Arturs Ahmetovs under circumstances allegedly deemed unfair.

Recently, Shields took to X/Twitter to share her thoughts on the widely circulated knockout video:

"I’ve never been Ko’d in 17 years and I’ve been dropped 2x all in a week of each other. I have no shame in that. But for a male fighter to literally take the padding out [of] his gloves, he’s a punk. He and coach Derrick Santos are bad for the sport!"
