Claressa Shields impressed with some wild swings

In the video, the fans can see the two circling, with the male sparring partner having a tall stature, and seeming older than her. While he tries to come at her, she adjusts her head, takes a step back, catches him with a left hook and uppercut, and follows up with combinations. In a couple of instances, she even catches him lacking, almost knocking him out. But a reach disadvantage comes in her way. Shields, 29, shared the clip on her X handle and captioned, “🥹🥹🥹 gone head mama!!!!!”

Interestingly, at one moment in the clip, a by-passer runs by and gives her some money for her captivating performance and wild and powerful swings. After ‘GWOAT’, the fans took to the comment section and expressed their excitement about the visuals and captivating boxing sequences.
