Soon To Be Movie Star Claressa Shields Condemns Transgender Boxers Competing Against Women

Claressa Shields is the latest big name in women’s boxing to shut down the decision at this year’s Olympics.

Previously transgender boxers were not allowed compete against women boxers but the IOC removed the last amateur boxing organization from overseeing this Olympics, done so in 2023.

This year they then allowed to transgender boxers to compete against women.

Claressa Shields does not think this should happen:

Shields’ comments carry weight as the biggest women’s sports star in America now.

Not just the biggest female boxing star but now easily the biggest women’s sports star across America and much of the world.

She’s also due a movie on her life soon per:

She went from super-welterweight world champion to women’s heavyweight champion.

Think about that as an achivement.

There is nothing even close to it in sports history.

Muhammad Ali never came close to that.

It will never be done again.

She is rightly getting covered throughout the world and blowing up wildly huge at the moment in countries everywhere.

She is also the only double Olympic gold medallist in women’s Olympic history.
