Claressa Shields Critiques ESPN Athlete List
News summary

Claressa Shields, a prominent boxing champion, has publicly criticized ESPN for excluding her from their 'Trailblazing Athletes' list, which highlighted stars like Serena Williams and Simone Biles. Shields, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and five-weight world champion, took to social media to express her frustration, emphasizing her significant achievements and contributions to women's boxing. She pointed out that her exclusion from such recognition feels like a setback for equality in sports, especially for young female athletes aspiring to greatness. Her complaints have resonated with fans and fellow athletes, including boxer Edgar Berlanga, who supported her stance. Many argue that Shields' remarkable record justifies her inclusion on the list, as she is one of the few boxers to hold all four major titles simultaneously in two weight classes. The oversight has sparked discussions about the visibility and respect for female athletes in a male-dominated sport.
