Women’s boxing champ Claressa Shields wants to know why she didn’t win BET’s “Sportswoman of the Year.” On Monday night, Angel Reese accepted BET’s “Sportswoman of the year” beating out A’ja Wilson, Claressa Shields, Coco Gauff, Dawn Staley, Flau’jae Johnson, Juju Watkins, Sha’Carri Richardson, and Simone Biles.

“Still don’t know how I didn’t win the Sportswoman of the Year for the @BETAwards but Congrats to Angel Reese and all the other Nominees 🤷🏽♀️ I just thought accolades mattered.”
“But let me gone head and make up for missing 2 days of grinding at the gym to attend all this BET stuff…. I defend My undisputed Heavyweight Title July 26th, If (when) I win that fight I’ll be 19x World champ”
Shields says her comments are not intended to be personal against Reese.
“Ain’t nobody saying Angel Reese don’t have accolades or she not good…. I’m saying I thought the person with “THE MOST” accolades & accomplishments would win the Award. I’m team Angel Reese!”
