(NOV 19) Tonight we are going to
see two top-notch amateur female boxers, Claressa Shields,
two-time Olympic gold medal boxing champion, and top female
amateur boxer Franchon Crews both make their pro debuts on a
major boxing card in Las Vegas, Nevada.
This is a huge jump start as not only these two champions
entering the pro circuit but others that will also be going from
amateur champions to turning pro.
At the weigh-in yesterday,
Shields and Crews, both made weight for their highly anticipated
fight tonight. Shields, 167, and Crews, 168.
Las Vegas photographer Mary Ann
