One wouldn't have to look any further than her nickname — the "GWOAT" (Greatest Woman of All Time) — to know where Claressa Shields believes she belongs in women's boxing history.

With the world about to celebrate International Women's Day on March 8, who does Shields rate highest when analysing the women of boxing.

During an exclusive interview with DAZN News, Shields named her Mount Rushmore of current great women's boxers, building stellar company around her.

"Right now, if there’s a Mount Rushmore of women’s boxers, I would say it’s myself, Katie Taylor, Amanda Serrano and maybe Mikaela Mayer," Shields offered.

"You can even add Savannah Marshall," she tacked on.

Despite each of the aforementioned boxers having held multiple world titles, Shields also believes that herself, Taylor, Serrano and Mayer stand out for their respective energized fan followings. As does Marshall.

"They have their own fan base, fans come out to see them," Shields said, "and we all kind of get behind each other and support each other here and there."

As Shields told DAZN News in relation to her own T-Rex Promotions, women's boxing "doesn’t just need to be one name and one face."
