Claressa Shields shares sparring footage against internet troll
Watch Shields vs. Joanisse live July 28 on DAZN
Undisputed women's middleweight champion Claressa Shields has shared sparring footage where she faced an internet troll.
Shields returns on July 28, live on DAZN, when she takes on Vanessa Lepage-Joanisse for the WBC women's heavyweight and WBO women's light heavyweight title.
This will be Shields' attempt to win a world title in a fourth and fifth weight class as she continues to cement herself as a women's boxing great.
As she continues preparing for her clash with Lepage-Joanisse, Shields got revenge on an internet troll in a recent sparring session and was quick to mock her performance inside the ring in a post on Instagram.
"I can't believe this punk a—s girl pulled to @hitsvillegym after trolling me for months! And couldn’t last more than 30 seconds," Shields wrote.
"I damn near killed this H03 @official_queen_ofda_ring !!!!! Show up again pussy!"
Shields is not the only boxing star to invite critics to a sparring session. Former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder did something similar to Charlie Zelenoff who was quick to walk away from 'The Bronze Bomber'.
