Amid the ongoing banter between Keith Thurman and Claressa Shields, the latter recently took to Instagram and shared photos of her “shining” smile. Besides her photos, the two-time undisputed champion declared that “pressure” made her the undefeated fighter she is. Along these lines, she added, “Nothing like a girl that know she pressure but she down to earth“. Quite surprisingly, she even caught the attention of Conor McGregor with this post.

Following her latest post, while a number of fans praised her skills and beauty, others objected to Shields calling out the former unified welterweight champion, Keith Thurman, in boxing. While some felt Shields was “bragging” about her skills with the challenge she issued to Thurman, it is worth mentioning that Shadasia Green felt that being “a competitor,” the undisputed middleweight champion was well aware of what she could do going “toe-to-toe with Keith Thurman” in the ring.

Of course, she is a competitor. If she called out a man, then she thinks that she can go toe-to-toe with Keith Thurman. That’s her thoughts, kudos to her,” Green said. However, here is what fans are saying after the post by Shields.
