professional boxer Claressa Shields has an estimated net worth of $3.5 million. Shields earned most of her wealth from being a professional boxer and wining an Olympic title twice in a row. Claressa is one of only seven boxers in history to hold all four major world titles in boxing – WBO, IBF, WBC, and WBA – simultaneously.
Baby
Claressa Shields seems to have it all as she heads to Rio to box for Team USA, including a gold medal from London. After winning the gold in 2012 at age 17, Shields got a new coach and won two World Championships. But there is one thing that she doesn’t have: her baby girl.
Shields reportedly wanted a child, and the perfect situation seemed to present itself. Her cousin was pregnant, and was considering an abortion because she already had two kids and couldn’t afford another one. Shields convinced her to have the child and let her adopt it.
MMA

But she is switching sports to mixed martial arts to fight Brittney Elkin and tells Sky Sports about relocating to New Mexico, a hub of MMA, to train alongside UFC great Jon Jones and pioneer Holly Holm.
