Claressa Shields, the current women’s IBF, WBA, WBC, and WBO world middleweight boxing champion, is currently threatening legal action against fans and networks after a video surfaced showing her being dropped in training by Arturs Ahmetovs, a retired male professional boxer with a record of 6-1-0.
Ahmetovs released the 2018 sparring footage on December 6, which showed him flooring Shields with a crisp jab-cross-hook combination.
Shields quickly took to X, alleging that Ahmetovs removed padding from his gloves after Shields “embarrassed him earlier that week.”
