I don’t think this title would be worth much because female boxing operates at about 2% of the quality of male boxing. There are so few female boxers in the world that its one of the easiest sports of all to become a “division/world champion”. No matter how one looks at it, these titles have very little value.
Well some of the Women weight classes have some decent fighters but Super Middle, Middle, Jr Middle. No disrespect to Clarissa Shields she is good at what she does but its like she’s a bully picking on kids unable to fight back
Especially with all the expanded weight classes none of these titles really mean anything.
