Claressa Shields believes she can ‘outbox’ Keith Thurman and has called him out.

Shields is one of if not the greatest female boxers of all-time but she has bizarrely called out former champion Keith Thurman, and it looks like the pair may ‘fight’ for charity.

She Tweeted:

‘I’ll fight Thurman

at 154 so serious: all the respect in the world to him too. I just think I can outbox him

’

Shields continued to gun for Thurman in a series of Tweets.

Keith said he don’t want to punch a girl in the face well I want to punch a man name Keith in the face for charity

And lastly if we are “sparring” of course I’ll wear a headgear” but for a charity event or raising money for a foundation you can keep the head gear bookie butt and you can wear a big cup shield cause I’m gonna punch you hard in the stomach like Luiz did #GWOAT
