Shields vs Hammer Marks A Historic Moment In Boxing Only Done 6 Times Before

Tonight’s international media conference call between world champions Claressa Shields and Christina Hammer was definitely worth calling in for.

As well as being two of the best middleweights in the world and elite level pro athletes, they’re also definitely two characters who don’t mind letting their personalities come out.

Like they have been doing throughout the build-up to this fight.

This Saturday night live on Showtime the pair will fight for all four middleweight belts in Atlantic City in what will only be the 7th time in professional boxing history that will crown an undisputed champion with all four recognized championship belts held at one time.

The four-belt version — WBC, WBO, WBA and IBF straps that is.

Here’s the key takeaways from tonight’s (or today’s for those in the States) call:
