Two-time boxing gold medalist Claressa Shields said she hoped her victories would help inspire other young black American women to reach for success. Shield's triumph in the women’s middleweight final on Sunday against the Netherlands' Nouchka Fontijn means that at the age of just 21, she is a double Olympic gold winner, the 2014 World Champion, and the 2015 Pan American Games champion. Shields has named her hero as tennis player Serena Williams.
