As Claressa Shields continues to do her thing as an undefeated boxing champion, MMA is still very much part of her combat sports plan.
Shields, who is 14-0 as a boxer and 1-1 in MMA, hasn’t fought in the latter sport since October 2021, where she lost a split decision to Abigail Montes at 2021 PFL Championships.
There were questions about whether the 28-year-old had moved past the MMA experiment after the setback, but Shields assured anyone questioning her priorities that is not the case.
