Pro Boxer Claressa Shields Challenges Jake Paul To A Match: He’s Getting His A** Whooped + Says She’d Fight Logan Paul If She ‘Was A Little Bit Bigger’
Could we be in for a match between Jake Paul and Claressa Shields?
Yesterday (Thursday, Sept. 30th), boxer Claressa Shields called out Jake Paul and challenged him to a match. Notably, Claressa Shields is the only boxer in history to simultaneously hold four major world titles in two different weight classes. She also has two Olympic gold medals.
Claressa Shields called out Jake Paul by stating:
“Jake Paul gets inside a boxing ring with me, he’s getting his a** whooped! And look, Jake Paul is gonna say a lot of stuff. He’s gonna say ‘Oh, she’s a woman, I would never fight a girl. It’s a lose-lose because if I beat her I’m a woman beater’–that’s what he gon’ say. Well look, this is the truth: I am a decorated female fighter. I’m the motherf**king GWOAT. I saw him make that post today with Amanda Serrano, he needs to know that I’m the GWOAT. Me and Amanda Serrano share that sometimes because I have a lot of love and respect for her, but I feel like when he said it he was being petty, so that’s just my word to him. I’m the GWOAT, and I been that.”
The 26-year-old boxer was referring to an Instagram post Jake Paul recently made where he announced he had signed Amanda Serrano to his company, Most Valuable Promotions. He also referred to her as the GWOAT (Greatest Woman Of All Time).
Claressa Shields continued, saying she’d also be open to sparring with Jake Paul instead of having a full-on match:
“If Jake Paul thinks that he could do anything with me inside of a ring, if he don’t want to fight because he’s worried about his ‘image,’ we could spar and he can bring his camera crew. And I could bring mine… If you wanna do an exhibition-style with two minutes ‘because I’m a woman,’ we can do that too. But I bet you, Jake Paul would get hurt. He’d probably get dropped. He’d have newfound respect for me if we were to spar or fight.”
She then added:
“I’m not calling Jake Paul out because I know how the world looks at women fighting men. They look at it like ‘Oh no, ew.’ But I spar men daily, and that’s the truth. Especially in boxing… Cut the s**t! Don’t disrespect my skills. Look, just because a man is a man and he’s in boxing doesn’t mean that they can beat me, and there’s a lot of guys who [have] been in boxing for years who cannot do nothing with me, let alone Jake Paul. If I was a little bit bigger, I’d call out Logan Paul.”
Neither Jake Paul nor Logan Paul has publicly acknowledged Claressa Shields‘ challenge.
