What Claressa Shields Said To Katie Taylor The First Time They Met About A Possible Fight

Two women’s boxing legends met for the first time this weekend in the form of Claressa Shields and Katie Taylor, and they had an interesting chat.

There is a big different in weight class but it is not impossible for the fight to happen.

Speaking to IFL TV alongside Taylor after the fights in Vegas Shields said:

“Earlier we were talking about weight classes and I mentioned that I’d have to cut down quite a bit to make 147 pounds. The lowest I realistically go is 154. I talk about 147 a lot. But if I could make it that would be my dream fight. Because this girl right here is excellent.”

It certainly would be a big fight.

What’s more Katie Taylor now boxes on the world’s biggest streaming platform in Netflix too.

They are no fools.

They will be looking at all of this this year.
