Shields said, “You can expect to see me again inside the cage, I believe in sometime in August, September, and then before the end of the year. It’s only a few more girls I want to fight in boxing. So hopefully that I can get the fights I want in boxing and I can get the pay. So as soon as that’s done, I’ll probably be full-time MMA, probably in the next year, depending on who I want.” 

While many would believe Shields would look to take some time away for preparation, the fighter seems eager to get back into the cage as frequently as possible. Therefore, we can hope to meet the legendary fighter back in the cage sooner than we expected.

The reason behind this is that Shields wants to be the first person to hold the MMA and boxing world title at the same time. While this might seem like an impossible task, many believe that if someone can do it, that is Shields.

Whether Shields is able to become an MMA champ while she is a boxing champ we will see. However, one thing is for sure Claressa Shields certainly has the talent and caliber to achieve such an extraordinary feat.
