Alycia Baumgardner does not want to fight Claressa Shields.
Alycia Baumgardner does not want to fight Claressa Shields.
Alycia Baumgardner recently had an online chat with fans where they asked her about her continuing feud with Claressa Shields and whether or not they could resolve it in the ring. Baumgardner says she doesn't think a fight between Shields and her is even possible because they are so different in size and she is focused on her career ambitions right now.
"Listen, now you know that girl is a heavyweight and I'm at super feather, so it doesn't even seem realistic to have an exhibition when she's a heavyweight fighter, if we're being honest," Baumgardner remarked. "...it has to make sense for me too because I'm still active, I'm still undisputed, and I still have mandatory things to do..."
“(Tank) can do what he wants (fight Jake Paul), but this could be his last fight. Who knows? He could go out with a bang, and that could be the case. But I'm working on something in my career where I want to move up to '35 and become a world champion there. So, the entire exhibition issue isn't even on my radar.
