Morning Report: Undisputed world champion Claressa Shields says she’s ‘more than willing’ to box Amanda Nunes

Earlier this week, UFC President Dana White said he would be down to make a boxing superfight between undisputed middleweight champion Claressa Shields and UFC double champ, Amanda Nunes. Now it appears that Shields is just as willing as White to make it happen.
