Arturs Ahmetovs has publicly responded to Claressa Shields’ recent reiteration of allegations concerning their contentious 2018 sparring match. Shields revived the incident while addressing criticism about her assertion that she could defeat male fighters, once again suggesting that a knockdown occurred because Ahmetovs allegedly used gloves with minimal or no padding. In his response, Ahmetovs firmly denied these claims and corroborated his stance by sharing a photograph from the sparring session itself.
