Women in sports have had a much-needed and long-overdue spotlight shined on them this year, and I can't think of a better way to end 2024 than with a film magnifying the name of one of this country's unsung heroes: Claressa "T-Rex" Shields. At just 29, the Flint, Michigan native has built an enviable career in the boxing world, which includes not one but two Olympic gold medals, two world champion titles, 2018's Female Fighter of the Year, the World's Best Active Middleweight Female Fighter, Undisputed Female Middleweight title-holder between 2019 and 2024, and many more.
