Cozin claressa certainly has a good reputation and is one of the greatest female boxers out there, but i don’t feel any pressure because of who she is.
I see it as a huge opportunity and not, as is some some kind of burden.
The 23 year old cousin has worked her way up.
The rankings earning 10 round unanimous decision victories over former world title challengers, maria lindbergh and chris namas.
Most recently kozin stopped radana koshnevik in two rounds in may of 2021, as she awaited the showdown with shields.
