I think the Sportsperson of the year has to go to Andy Ruiz! That upset victory against AJ was the berries!!!!!!
If he beats AJ again I’m sure Andy will be on the cover of Time magazine.
After the crap her brother pulled. And the fact that she strongly defended that thug. This must be a joke. Great boxer, but no moral character.

IKR……….you must be joking. Loudmouth piece of trash.
Agreed and thumbs up! This is 2nd time she has been awarded by this organization. A joke.
Poor sportsman of the year is more like it…
smack talker of the year is more like it 2019 HOODRAT AWARD maybe
Is this the same sportswoman of the year who denied anyone to do with her team was involved in king-hitting a 68 year old man and breaking his face? Not exactly role model material from where I’m sitting.
Great timing on the Shields story guys!
lol what a joke
And her brother makes attempted murderer of the year.
This is a joke! She is no role model. What about Amanda Serrano or Cecilia Brækhus. They are more deserving of that award.
Likely she was eyed for this before the fight was canceled. Going through with it now is just damage control to contain the controversy associated with the attack. They hope everyone forgets about it and they have some icon to hoist up in the name of social justice. The same way all other mainstream sports are digging it a toehold in this victim culture, to sell tickets…). Fightnews is just reporting on it (their job), not concocting it. Their coverage has always seemed fairly objective.
Good boxer, role model no, she and her crew are thugs, I would never want my daughter to look at Clarissa as a role model!!
Wow ! Maybe she and her team should be shunned they won this award …..
In one respect she is a role model. She is a dedicated athlete, focused on her craft and is very successful at it. However, her trash talk before fights isn’t in the spirit of good sportswomanship and would not be something I recommend as a role model for young women.
after the incident she does not deserve it
Another joke ! Sportswoman of the year ! Ask that to the Guy who is recovering from the injury sustained after her fight and occured by his brother..
Claressa Shields is the Henry Cejudo of boxing, good fighter and well decorated but the cringe level is legendary
Named by some irrelevant and unknown organization probably run by a bunch of dikes. Nobody cares.
Have got to be kidding me.
