It’s wild, wild Africa, where the streets are the battleground and the training mat for the new-and-coming boxers. The visuals are rare but exciting, engulfing the by-passers and pulling the crowd. It was such a case where the clip of a young female boxer swinging back at her sparring partner broke the internet, even reaching Claressa Shields.

The clip, posted by African Hub on their X handle, has 38k views and is growing, making it a hot trend. After all, it’s rare that you find a female young boxer almost taking the head of her sparring partner. It even swayed the two-division undisputed champion, who enjoyed the aggression and the perfect blend of defense, patience, and some wild swings.

Claressa Shields impressed with some wild swings

In the video, the fans can see the two circling, with the male sparring partner having a tall stature, and seeming older than her. While he tries to come at her, she adjusts her head, takes a step back, catches him with a left hook and uppercut, and follows up with combinations. In a couple of instances, she even catches him lacking, almost knocking him out. But a reach disadvantage comes in her way. Shields, 29, shared the clip on her X handle and captioned, “🥹🥹🥹 gone head mama!!!!!”

Interestingly, at one moment in the clip, a by-passer runs by and gives her some money for her captivating performance and wild and powerful swings. After ‘GWOAT’, the fans took to the comment section and expressed their excitement about the visuals and captivating boxing sequences.

Fans thrilled to watch a street showdown

One fan pointed out that the uppercut was deadly enough to flatline the male sparring partner, which almost happened, twice. They wrote, “That uppercut if connected would have had that man’s head clocked at 180 degrees godamm.”

A user lauded the female boxer for her punches, which appeared wild and aggressive after keeping a high guard. They declared, “She’s got some wicked swings on her!”

Someone heaped praise on the boxer and hoped for her health as well as her making it big as a professional boxer. According to the fan, her style could make her a fan favorite quickly. They commented, “Wow. She’s good. Hopefully, she won’t get hurt fighting these brutes. She’ll make millions.”

A comment, seeing the potential of the boxer, asked Shields, at 15-0, to bring her to the US and train her. The comment read, “Bring her to the states.. train under the goat..”

Lastly, a fan compared the boxer to a famous character in the fighting video game, ‘Ready 2 Rumble’. They noted, “She swanging them uppercuts like Afro Thunder.”
