Claressa Shields Calls Out Ryan Garcia

Undisputed middleweight world champion Claressa Shields (14-0, 2 KOs) responded to a joking tweet from junior welterweight contender Ryan Garcia (25-1, 20 KOs) by challenging the American to a match.

"Hear me out! Ryan Garcia vs. Claressa Shields!!! Let's do it! And you can weigh in at 160 lbs (about 72.5 kg). Woman against a man in a woman's body," wrote Shields.

The day before, Ryan had tweeted that Claressa should go on a date with WBA lightweight champion Gervonta Davis (29-0, 27 KOs).
