Shields: Price Must ‘Come To America If She Wants Smoke’

[Boxerbeetle]

I always liked Derrick Gainer’s “Smoke” nickname.

Anyway this is surely a bad move for Price unless she’s happy to sacrifice her unbeaten record for a bit of wonga.

In fairness the girls generally seem to be much more up for challenging across weights and risking unbeaten records, although admittedly a lot of that is probably down to the smaller purses and much shallower talent pool.

In Women's Boxing every talented Fighter has like 2 marketable opponents in their whole career if they're lucky. Most of the time it's just "Check out Claressa Shields vs....This Lady"
