BREAKING Claressa Shields "KNOCKED OUT" in sparring by a MAN !!!!

Claressa Shields has claimed that one of her male sparring partners removed padding from his gloves in 2018, after Arturs Ahmetovs released footage last week that showed him knocking down the American.

Ahmetovs took to Instagram on Wednesday (6 December) to share a clip of a past sparring session with Shields, who has held world titles in multiple weight classes, combining the footage with a video of the 28-year-old recounting the incident.

“The guy I sparred, he was like a little Russian [Latvian] hater,” Shields says in the video. “He took the padding of his gloves out. I had whooped his a** on a Monday, and his coach wanted to spar again on Thursday. He caught me, but he didn’t have no padding in his gloves. He knows exactly who he is.”
