“A World Champion of My Caliber Is Not Good Enough”: Claressa Shields Receives Massive Support From Amanda Serrano and the Boxing Community After Calling Out Top Rank Boxing

Since her victory against Marciela Carnejo, Claressa Shields has picked a bone with Top Rank Boxing. Shields revealed that she wanted to witness the clash between Josh Taylor and Teofimo Lopez in person. But, it seems like she did not get what she wanted. And to show her disappointment at being unable to watch the fight in person, Shields took to Twitter to share her thoughts. She took a dig at Top Rank for denying her seats in the front row for the fight. Top Rank responded to Shields, Clarifying the misunderstanding. And sharing their apologies for the inconvenience caused to the ‘GWOAT.’

Even though Top Rank offered their apologies, it seems like this is an incident the reigning champion won’t forget. And, to show her support for Shields, the reigning undisputed featherweight champion, Amanda Serrano, has voiced out. Many fans joined Serrano in unison to support Shields.

Shields called out Top Rank and claimed that a world champion of her caliber might not be good enough to get complimentary tickets. She further revealed that she would be watching the fight on her TV in Florida.

Serrano had a question for Top Rank and wanted to know how a great fighter is not offered complimentary tickets. “The GWOAT @Claressashields should get Red Carpet treatment on Any Fight Card (In My Honest Opinion),“ wrote Serrano sharing her opinion. Top Rank also responded to Shields’s Tweet and clarified that the front-row tickets were sold out by the time team Shields contacted them. And, when other seats were offered, they were reportedly declined by Shields’s representatives.

One user claims that if it was Floyd Mayweather or Manny Pacquiao, some seats would have “magically” appeared for them.

Another user slammed Top Rank Boxing, claiming that the champ should be given complimentary tickets.
