Three-weight world champion Claressa Shields has called out Lauren Price for a blockbuster fight at middleweight.<\/p>\n
The American issued her challenge in response to the Welsh fighter saying Shields “would have to come down” in weight, but what a “great fight” it would make. <\/p>\n
“I’d love to do a two-fight, three-fight [deal], it’d be amazing,” Price told Betfred.<\/p>\n
Shields – a five-division champion and one of the greatest female boxers of all-time – responded to Price on social media platform X.<\/p>\n
“We both won Olympic gold medals at 75kg aka 165 pounds. I’d gladly welcome a showdown with you at 165 pounds,” said the 30-year-old.<\/p>\n
“And I’ll show you why I was able to win back-to-back golds and you weren’t.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Three-weight world champion Claressa Shields has called out Lauren Price for a blockbuster fight at middleweight.
