She should take advantage of the free college degree while training US Boxing is offering and go for a 3rd gold medal, she would still only be 25 in 2020. Her mentor is advising her to take that route instead of turning pro. Hopefully they give her some endorsements this time around to hold her down financially in the meantime, that Powerade ad is a good start.

I understand why Claressa did the espn body issue,but I feel going nude for espn was unnecesary.She's a beautiful woman and deserves more endorsements/sponsorships based on her accomplishments.

There's no one really for her to build up to box at this point, and she doesn't have the gimmick of being someone's famous daughter. If she can lose 30 lbs safely, she'd clean up in UFC

yea her too.

but i don't know what type of reception & exposure shes getting out there.

plus shes smaller. the female heavyweights gotta pop off more first before the lower weight classes get any real shine.
