Show Notes

In this episode, Ashlyn talks to the GWOAT herself: boxer Claressa Shields. Besides holding two Olympic gold medals, Claressa is the only boxer in history to hold all four major world boxing titles in three weight classes. But growing up in Flint, Michigan, all odds were against her success. Claressa tells Ashlyn how she persevered, a story so moving that it was turned into the 2024 film, The Fire Inside.
