Review: Claressa Shields biopic 'The Fire Inside' highlights female boxer's trailblazing journey
Briefly

"The Fire Inside," the directorial debut of Rachel Morrison and written by Barry Jenkins, arrives at a pivotal moment for women's sports, generating over $1 billion for the first time in 2024."
Shields, portrayed by Ryan Destiny, states, "I box. I am a bully. Floyd (Mayweather) was a bully. (Andre) Ward was a bully. (Muhammad) Ali was a bully."
Unlike many sports movies, winning is not the climax of the movie. The aftermath, which touches on elite sports federations and marketing issues, is of particular interest to Morrison and Jenkins."
