You've probably heard of her unless you've been living under a rock. In amateur boxing, she's now a 2x Olympic gold medalist, 2x World champion, Val Barker trophy recipient, and she won the Pan American Games as well. She's only 21 years old, 5'10 and fights as a Middleweight. She also thinks that Ireland's Michael Conlan is "a gangster" for his post-fight antics at the Games in Rio this year.
These two met and goofed around a bit, even though she views him as a sexist (remember, he's also viewed by some as a racist) but likes him. Strange how that works. Kovalev doesn't approve of women fighting (neither does Fedor) but recognizes her achievements and wishes her good luck and says she's the best. Oh, she's friends with Andre Ward. Andre Dirrell too. Both Dre's.
This is the interesting vid (where the sexism comes out). Kovalev says that they don't approve of women fighting in Russia and Claressa says, "WHAT?!" and pretends like she's going to punch him after saying she's beaten up men bigger than him lol. Enjoy.
