ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) - Claressa “T-Rex” Shields pushed past all limitations to become the first Black woman to win an Olympic gold medal in boxing — and now, a new film honors her legacy.
Ryan Destiny, who plays Shields, came to Atlanta News First to talk about “The Fire Inside.” She said she had never boxed before and trained for months for the role.
“The Fire Inside” opens in theaters on Christmas day.
