If you weren’t aware already, let it be known that Claressa Shields, 17-0 (3 KOs), doesn’t suffer fools. She calls herself the “GWOAT” (Greatest Woman of All Time) for a reason and self-applies the term without any hint of irony, unease, or self-consciousness. She is also comfortable, at the age of 30, both with what she has achieved to date – winning world titles as a super welterweight, middleweight, super middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight – and her new heavyweight size. Some, with good reason, will argue that Shields’ ideal fighting weight is lower than where she currently fights, but that doesn’t alter the fact that Shields feels she is at her best right now – as a heavyweight.
