Claressa Shields talks about her plans to keep dominating women's boxing

Claressa Shields recently shared her thoughts on her unmatched success in women’s boxing and her continued drive to dominate the sport. The two-time Olympic gold medalist and 15-time world champion reaffirmed that she is not done yet, expressing her desire to keep competing for many more years.

In a recent appearance on the Pound 4 Pound podcast, Shields discussed her journey to becoming a pioneering force in female athletics, highlighting her role in advocating for equal pay for women athletes. Reflecting on her career, she said:

"I knew that I would be the greatest woman boxer in history. I knew that no girl could beat me. But I didn't know the recognition, the respect, the money, the biopic, like, I didn't know this stuff would happen. When I hear myself say, '15-time world champion', I kind of giggle a little bit. When does this end? How much a** can you kick? The fire inside of me is still burning to fight, so that's why I'm here and I think it's burning until I'm 38 years old."
