With the victory, Shields moves to 19-0, with the self-proclaimed GWOAT – meaning Greatest Woman of All Time – strengthening her claim to being the world’s No 1 female fighter, particularly with Katie Taylor set to retire.<\/p>\n
“It was a hard camp,” Shields said. “I always tell myself that everything is easy work, but it was a really hard camp.<\/p>\n
“I cut 38 pounds. I started 14 weeks ago at 198 and got down to 160. It was the most disciplined I’ve been since the Olympics, I feel like.<\/p>\n
“She was stronger than I thought. She was very strong. I knew that, with the amount of weight I’d cut, I didn’t want to exert too much energy early.<\/p>\n
“I was trying to make sure I could deal with her strength and not get caught with anything crazy, because I’m not as strong as I feel at 175.”<\/p>\n
Lauren Price<\/strong> is now Shields’ preferred opponent at 160lbs, with the American saying she wants the fight to take place between December and January.<\/p>\nIt is a fight that Price has welcomed, but the American star’s promoter, Dmitriy Salita, believes the “mega” event “belongs in the United States”.<\/p>\n
“Claressa came down to middleweight to make the biggest fights possible,” Salita told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n
“We want to make this a mega-event, and I believe that fight belongs in the United States.<\/p>\n
“That being said, we love the UK, and another fight there is certainly not out of the question. It’s an incredible time for women’s boxing.”<\/p>\n
