American Boxer Claressa Shields Wins Gold at Rio Olympics

Claressa Shields has become the first American boxer of either gender to win two Olympic boxing gold medals.

Shields on Sunday beat Netherlands fighter Nouchka Fontijn by unanimous decision to win her second middleweight gold. She was the star of the London Games and again was the class of her division.

The 21-year-old Flint, Michigan native, raised her arms in the corner toward friends and family in the stands after the third round.
