Professional boxer, Claressa Shields, is known to be one of the “Greatest Women Of All Time” in the sport with her exceptional boxing skills and talent. But, outside of the ring, Shields is also making a name for herself in other avenues. While the 29-year-old is constantly busy dominating many fields, she still makes time to address pressing issues and never shies away from a fight, whether online or in the ring.
In her most recent spill, Shields took to Twitter to share her opinions on the lack of support for her biopic, “The Fire Inside.” In her post, Shields mentioned that only two other female champions in the industry have publicly supported the film and claimed the other women in boxing are “hating” on her.
“So let’s talk about it! A whole biopic about my life & my journey in boxing but only 2 female champions have said anything about it! But y’all love to call me a hater! FOh! These girls been hating on me! That’s why I shine so bright AND Still! GOD GONNA ALWAYS DO HIS BIG ONE FOR ME!,” she wrote.
