(JAN 28) Claressa “T-Rex”
Shields, 11-0 (2), is leaving no stones unturned ahead of her
WBF, IBF, WBC, WBA Middleweight unification fight against Ema
Kozin, 21-0-1 (11), on February 5, 2022, in Cardiff,
Wales.
The IBF, WBC and WBA titlist has
prepared diligently, and revealed during this weeks virtual
press-conference that she has been training at Floyd
Mayweather´s gym in Las Vegas, with the man himself watching and
giving her advice.
Mayweather, who considers himself “The Best Ever”, will even be
traveling to Wales for the fight, in support of the
self-proclaimed “Greatest Woman of all Time”.
“My confidence was already high, but training with Floyd
Mayweather and getting his advice has made it go through the
roof”, Shields explained.
“Ema is 21-0, but she has not
fought at my level, and even though I only have eleven pro
fights experience is also on my side”, said the two-time Olympic
gold medalist who went 77-1 in the unpaid ranks.
Making her fourth World Boxing Federation (WBF) World
Middleweight title-defense on February 5, Slovenian Kozin is
very confident, and, while humble, not in awe of her super-star
opponent, saying:
“I have never been better than I am now, and of course I believe
I can defeat Claressa. I have a great team, I have had a great
training camp, and I will show many new areas of my skill-set in
this fight.”
Kozin finished the press-conference by wishing Shields good luck
and safe travels, prompting the American to respond:
“Ema, I don't need your luck and I am going to destroy you on
February 5. I am going to make you call me the G.W.O.A.T. inside
the ring...”
Kozin vs. Shields, for the WBF, IBF, WBC and WBA World
Middleweight titles on February 5 at the Motorpoint Arena in
Cardiff, will be the co-feature of a show promoted by Boxxer,
along with Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Liam Williams.
Sky Sports will televise in the UK, while various outlets will
broadcast world-wide.
