Claressa Shields on poverty, Olympic gold and fighting for equal pay

It tells the incredible story of American boxer Claressa Shields who grew up in extreme poverty and went on to win two Olympic gold medals. The first one aged just 17. But it’s her fight for equal pay outside the ring that makes her story punch above its weight.
