“Very, very, very disappointed. I’ll let my team do the announcement! But what I will say is… I want this fight 100%. I am not the one sick. Idk the ins and outs of Hammers condition, but she can’t box til March the doctor says. I’m still going to fight the 17th Nov,” Shields shared with her followers.
“I’m sorry to hit y’all with the bad news…. It should be some kind of press release announcing about what’s going on. I’m just putting out the information that I know. But umm yeah…. I’m just going to stay focused and in the gym.”
The 28-year-old Hammer confirmed the news on her social media accounts.
