Claressa Shields, the undisputed middleweight champion known as “The GWOAT,” is already looking ahead to a new chapter outside the ring: motherhood.
The boxing superstar took to Twitter this weekend to reveal her excitement about starting a family, making it clear that she’s planning for more than just one child.
“I can’t wait to get pregnant, you heaux gonna be so mad. Going to be crying in the car, punching the steering wheel crying,” Shields wrote. “The magic number is 4…. I want 4 kids.”
Her candid post quickly sparked conversation among fans, with one social media user revealing that she might be too scared to give birth. Shields fired back with humor, showing her signature confidence in handling any challenge that comes her way.
“lol girl…:: i heard you just gotta breathe lol,” she replied.
At just 30 years old, Shields has already made history in combat sports, becoming the first boxer—male or female—to hold all four major world titles in two weight classes. She most recently spoke with TMZ about the status of her fight with Laila Ali. According to Shields, Ali doesn’t want to face her in the ring.
“Layla and her representatives have told us no. Like, the answer is ‘no.’ She doesn’t want to fight. And that’s fine. I have no problem with that. I’m not upset. I mean, I wouldn’t fight me either. You know what I’m saying? I understand that she’s scared. I’m moving on,” Shields said. “I thought that she was about all that talk. She wanted $15 million. I went and got the $15 million. And now it’s all this backpedaling. So, you know, congrats to her on whatever she’s doing. But I’m moving on with my career.”
Shields recewntly addressed rumors that she broke up with Papoose. “All I see is lies [laughing emojis],” she recently captioned a video of herself eating dinner at Papoose’s mother’s house.
