Picture[edit]

Can we update the picture on her page? She has a lot of other pictures that actually shows what she does. I found several on google that should be used other than the one you guys put on here. D baby109263 (talk) 15:25, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Diet[edit]

I see online that in 2020 she called herself a pescatarian.^[1] and in May 2021 she was called vegetarian or vegan.^[2] Are these sources 'reliable'? MaynardClark (talk) 03:09, 20 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I can't make sense of the lead[edit]

I wanted to find out what Claressa Shields is the champion of. The second sentence of this article says, "She has held multiple world championships in three weight classes, including the undisputed female light middleweight title since March 2021; the undisputed female middleweight title from 2019 to 2020; and the unified WBC and IBF female super middleweight titles from 2017 to 2018." So that means that she's currently the light middleweight champion, right? Except that she's the middleweight champion, not the light middlewight champion now, as indicated by Claressa_Shields#Professional_boxing_record and the "Sporting positions" succession boxes.

Four Major World Titles in Two Weight Classes.[edit]

The article states the following:

Shields is the only boxer in history, female or male, to hold all four major world titles in boxing—WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO—simultaneously, in two weight classes.

This must be updated to acknowledge Bud Crawford's recent victory: In July 2023, he became the first male two-division undisputed champion of the four-belt era after defeating Errol Spence Jr. AlexanderK47 (talk) 21:08, 7 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
