Claressa Shields is a name synonymous with elite boxing performance. Ever since she won the gold medal in the 2012 London Olympics, her achievements have multiplied in numbers. She is undoubtedly one of the best female boxers in the world right now. The self-proclaimed ‘GWOAT’ is the first boxer (male or female) to hold undisputed titles in two different weight classes. So, it shouldn’t be a surprise that her recent motivating pictures garnered love and support from her fans.
However, achievements in boxing were not enough for the talented boxer. In 2021, Shields transitioned into MMA by signing with PFL and becoming a two-sport athlete. She won her debut fight in MMA against Brittney Elkin via TKO but failed to replicate the same in the second fight later that year. Despite her first-ever loss in combat sports, Shields came back to boxing and defeated three opponents back to back. She is in the prime of her career and wants to motivate others to do the same. In a recent Instagram post, she shared some pictures of herself along with an inspiring quote.
