In a career span of over two decades, he defeated many boxing legends and dubbed himself ‘TBE’ (The Best Ever). Parallel to man’s boxing, though not equally famous women’s boxing is trying to build a promising fan base.

Due to some big names like the self-proclaimed GWOAT Claressa Shields, Savannah Marshall, and much more, female boxing has witnessed sizable growth. Now women boxing’s events are bigger and popular than they used to be in the past.
Recently, in a press conference in Dubai, ‘The Pretty Boy’ talked a lot about female boxing. While doing so, he introduced Shields as the female ‘TBE’.
Michael Benson of TalkSports reported it on Twitter. He shared a video clip of Mayweather admiring female boxing and wrote, “Floyd Mayweather giving props to Claressa Shields at his press conference today…”

“I would like to break up if that’s okay we call her a female TBE in the sport of boxing Claressa Shields. We have to acknowledge our own one so you know I have to acknowledge our own. She’s the champion, she’s a warrior. Women’s boxing is here to stay as well as being awesome”, Mayweather said.
No doubt, Shields is going down in history as the greatest female boxer of all time. The two-time Olympic gold Medalist has maintained a perfect pro track. She is an undisputed champ in two weight classes, light middleweight and middleweight. So when Mayweather calls her ‘TBE’, it’s reasonable.
