From growing up to the Olympics

In 2012, Shields becomes the first US boxer to win a gold medal, but then realizes that dreams are not the same for everyone …
“The Fire Inside” received consistently good reviews internationally. Actress Ryan Destiny in particular was praised for her portrayal of Claressa Shields. The boxing interludes in the biopic are also well staged.
Story is “finally told properly”
“The Fire Inside is a sports biopic that has the courage to ask the question: ‘What happens after the win?’ It’s a simple shift in focus, but an unexpectedly transformative one,” writes the British online newspaper “The Independent”.
The “GWOAT” – Greatest Woman Of All Time, as the multiple world champion calls herself – was also pleased with the work. Her story is now “finally being told properly”, said Shields, who turned professional in 2016 and has been undefeated ever since.
