In boxing, every hero is a villain in someone else’s story. For Claressa Shields and Amanda Serrano, the lines between admiration and rivalry have always been blurred.
Both are pioneers of women’s boxing, breaking records and pushing the sport forward. Yet, while Shields proudly calls herself the “GWOAT” (Greatest Woman of All Time), Serrano has remained indifferent to the title, subtly dismissing Shields’ outspoken claims.
Though they’ve never faced off in the ring, an unspoken tension lingers between them. And recently, Shields reignited the conversation, suggesting that support in women’s boxing isn’t always mutual.
Claressa Shields feels the divide
During an interview with FightHype TV, Shields reflected on her dynamic with Serrano, making it clear that she has always respected her fellow champion.
“I was a fan of hers before Jake Paul, and I’m a fan now,” Shields said, referring to Serrano’s partnership with MVP Promotions.
But despite her admiration, Shields can’t ignore a noticeable divide. She has made it a point to attend major women’s boxing events, including all of Serrano’s fights against Katie Taylor. Yet, when it comes to her own bouts, she feels the support isn’t reciprocated.
“I want you guys to look at something,” Shields challenged.
“Look at all the women’s fights I go to, and then look at mine. See who’s showing up-and who isn’t.”
She specifically referenced her recent undisputed heavyweight fight in Michigan, a historic moment for women’s boxing.
“I fight for equal pay, equal opportunities, equal TV time. But when you come to my fights, look around and tell me which female fighters are there,” she pointed out.
Despite feeling overlooked, Shields refuses to stop fighting for women’s boxing. She has confirmed she’ll be ringside at Madison Square Garden on July 11 for the Taylor-Serrano trilogy, proving that, regardless of any underlying tensions, she remains dedicated to supporting the sport.
Serrano, meanwhile, has carved her own legacy. She recently became the highest-paid female boxer in history and continues to push women’s boxing to new heights. With another massive event on the horizon, she will once again put the spotlight on the sport.
The question remains-will these two icons ever truly acknowledge their rivalry? Or will their paths continue to run parallel, shaping women’s boxing in their own ways? One thing is certain: they are both defining figures in the sport, whether they see eye to eye or not.

Why the Seahawks couldn’t resist Jalen Milroe, both the player and person: ‘He’s unique’
RENTON, Wash. — In February, John Schneider said that for the Seattle Seahawks to draft a quarterback this offseason, the board would have to speak to them on draft weekend.Hearing from the longtime general manager and coach Mike Macdonald on Friday night, it sounds like what spoke volumes was Jalen Milroe’s game film — and his personality.Advertisement“He’s a unique, special young man, special athlete,” Schneider said.Seattle selected with Milroe, a two-year starter at Alabama, with the No. 92 pick, which the team received from the Las Vegas Raiders in the Geno Smith trade. He’s the third quarterback Schneider has selected in 16 drafts with the Seahawks (Russell Wilson and Alex McGough are the others). Milroe was the third and final pick made on Friday by Seattle, which gave up pick Nos. 52 and 82 to draft safety Nick Emmanwori at […]
Duelo dos Renatos: Em inícios de trabalhos, técnicos chegam a clássico entre Botafogo e Fluminense em momentos diferentes
Comandados pelos Renatos Paiva e Gaúcho, respectivamente, Botafogo e Fluminense farão hoje, às 21h, no Estádio Nilton Santos, um clássico marcado por duas equipes que, apesar de viverem reinícios de trabalho, experimentam momentos totalmente distintos. Em comum, as poucas partidas dos xarás à frente dos times: Paiva tem oito jogos pelo alvinegro, enquanto Gaúcho soma seis pelo tricolor. De diferente, estão os retrospectos e, principalmente, o clima que paira sobre os dois. No CT Carlos Castilho, do Fluminense, os ares parecem ter se renovado desde a chegada de Renato Gaúcho para o lugar de Mano Menezes. O contexto encontrado pelo treinador, que chegava ao tricolor para sua sétima passagem, não era dos mais favoráveis, já que, com vários compromissos em sequência, o tempo era um inimigo. Ainda assim, Renato levou o time a uma sequência de quatro vitórias consecutivas e […]

Ripon, Doncaster and Wolverhampton host competitive racing
Ripon, Doncaster and Wolverhampton host racing on a busy Saturday - live on Sky Sports Racing.5.35 Ripon - Touch The Moon, Cabera and Sam Hawkens featureGeorge Scott is a shrewd man when sending a runner to Ripon, boasting a 23-per-cent strike rate at the track since he started training. He brings Touch The Moon here fresh from Bahrain having been successful when winning two races out there. This lad is a half-brother to Middleton Stakes heroine Blond Me and will likely appreciate the step up to a mile and four furlongs on expected good ground. Callum Shepherd gets the leg up for Victorious Racing in this M.C.H. Hutchinson Memorial Trophy Handicap.

Why the Packers drafted an O-lineman and receiver on Day 2, not a pass rusher
GREEN BAY, Wis. — Maybe the lie detector needle wouldn’t move after all if Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst uttered the line he’s already said multiple times this season.“I feel very good about the guys we got in the building,” Gutekunst said Friday night when asked about not taking a pass rusher in the first three rounds, before continuing. “We do need to improve with our consistency, but there were times we were pretty dominant this year rushing the passer. We’ve got the whole day tomorrow, too, to see if we can add any competition to that room, but I feel good about those guys on our football team right now.”AdvertisementAfter what Gutekunst called an inconsistent season rushing the quarterback, head coach Matt LaFleur fired defensive line coach Jason Rebrovich. Gutekunst said it in some form or fashion at his […]
