Savannah Marshall and Claressa Shields came face to face on the microphone ringside following Shields’ dominant win over Ema Kozin. Shields made her return to the boxing ring following her small stint inside the Octagon, in an absolute demolition of the WBF middleweight champion.
It all started after Savannah made a comment on Shields’ performance. “I think if you perform like that against me, I will absolutely wipe the floor with you.” she said following Shields’ dominant win over Ema Kozin in her boxing return.
A fiery Claressa Shields responded as a verbal barrage started between both the Champions.
“I ain’t no punk. I am not scared of you, that’s why I am here.” Shields continued, “I came here, you didn’t come to me. I am chasing you. Let’s go. Win, win March 12 and I’m gonna wipe the floor with you. You can’t do sh*t with me.”
“You went ten rounds with an absolute child. People were walking out after Round 5,” Marshall responded to Shields. Watch the entire segment here.
