Must Love MMA spoke with Ivana Habazin ahead of her title fight against Claressa Shields this Friday, January 10 live on SHOWTIME from Ocean Casino Resort in Atlantic City, N.J. . The former welterweight champ will challenge Undisputed middleweight world champion Claressa Shields on Friday, and the two met face-to-face Tuesday at the final press conference three days before their long-awaited showdown for the vacant WBC and WBO 154-pound world titles.
Habazin spoke about the incident that caused the last fight to be cancelled in October and how personal their feud is, finding new coaches, training for this match in Croatia while dealing with her step-mother’s cancer treatment, what it would mean if she defeats Shields and why she doesn’t think the champ is a good boxer or “the greatest woman of all time”, and why she decided to become a boxer in the first place, especially with none being in Croatia at all before her.
