Claressa Shields blasts boxer for flashing bare breast after victory (Video)
By Amy Kaplan
Claressa Shields, widely thought of as one of the greatest female boxers of all time, isn't happy that the sport she's worked so hard to dominate is being made a mockery of.
During a celebrity boxing match Whitney Johns flashed the crowd her breasts, on live TV. Shields was not in to it.
"Wow….. this is a step backwards for womens boxing. Stop this s--t," she tweeted along with a video of the woman flashing the crowd. The video can be found nestled in the tweet below, but please be warned, it's not censored.
This isn't the first time something like this has happened. At the weigh-ins Johns and her opponent, OnlyFans boxer Amber O'Donnell kissed during the face-off.
A BKFC fighter did the same thing last year. Tai Emery scored a massive KO win over her opponent, Rung-Arun Khunchai and then jumped on the ropes and flashed the crowd.
Shields isn't alone in her thoughts, fans were upset by the kiss on Friday night and took to the comments to express their frustration.
"Women’s boxing wasn’t taken seriously back then and this is just mocking the progress they’ve had in the past years. It’s not fair for women boxers who have dedicated their lives to the sport only for onlyfan models to behave like this at the press conference and they want to be taken seriously"
It seems this might be a trend because earlier this year during a tag-team event two women flashed their breasts after leaving an MMA cage.
