A man and a woman have never fought one another inside the boxing ring. But could that change in the future?
Women's undisputed heavyweight champion Claressa Shields and men's WBA welterweight champion Rolly Romero have been sniping back and forth as of late. Shields went on Nightcap with former NFL stars Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson, and said if she had two to three months to train, then the GWOAT would win the fight.Â
Shields elaborated a bit further when she appeared on Inside The Ring, which can be seen on DAZN.Â
"What I will say is that with my boxing pedigree, with my height, my jab, my skills, I can beat Rolly in a boxing match," Shields said.
"Under the rules, if you want to say two minutes, 12 rounds, 10 rounds, whatever you want to call it, I have better boxing gloves."
When asked by host Max Kellerman about the size of the gloves.
"Do you not see this face?," Shields said. "I don't even get hit. Does it matter? What are we talking about? I fought Franchon (Crews-Dezurn) and got one stitch."
Who would win in a fight: Claressa Shields or Rolly Romero?
