Claressa Shields Moves Past All Her Beef In 2025 By Entering Her Beyoncé Era

By
Claressa Shields

The GWOAT enters her Beyonce era in 2025.

Boxing star Claressa Shields had an explosive end to her 2024, including a publicized beef with Remy Ma over Papoose and the release of her biopic, The Fire Inside, starring Ryan Destiny. Eager to move on from the beef, the champion announces her plans to enter her own “Beyoncé Era” to not respond to negativity in 2025. On Wednesday, the GWOAT shared an Instagram story, saying she will not be responding to anyone in the new year to focus on herself.

Thanking her fans, Claressa Shields said, “I’m Beyonce, baby. Some of the battles that people be trying to put on me. I ain’t even got to fight because ya’ll going to do it for me. I appreciate you’ll, but listen to me. I’m telling ya’ll this, listen to me. 2025. I’m Beyonce, baby. I’m not responding to a thing. 2025, I’m changing. New year, new me. I’m Beyonce. I’m focusing on the love a lot more, y’all. Because focusing on the hate just make you hateful don’t it.” At the end of 2024, Shields had a fued with Cam’ron, Remy Ma, and boxers.

The GWOAT Enters Her Beyoncé Era To Get Rid Of Past Beef

Earlier in the month, tensions flared when Claressa Shields and Remy Ma exchanged heated words on Instagram. Shields even challenged the rapper to a fight, escalating the feud. The exchange caught the attention of celebrities, including 50 Cent, who humorously weighed in. “Whatever you do, don’t fight her,” he warned Shields on social media. “She’ll get the blick, champ!” While the rapper’s past became a talking point, Shields reiterated that her only concern was the blatant violation of her privacy.

The discussion turned to Claressa Shields’ now-viral $100,000 challenge, where she dared any woman to face her in the ring. Despite the online drama, Shields remains focused on addressing the breach rather than engaging in petty feuds. Her message is clear: this isn’t about rumors or personal entanglements—it’s about respecting boundaries. Her biopic is in theaters nationwide.

By
Mike Tyson

LeBron James, Angel Reese, and Mike Tyson were among the star athletes who shared festive social media posts on Christmas Day.

The sports world has been flooded with everything from holiday tunes to dinner spreads and family pictures from stars across different disciplines.

In a Christmas promo for his ear-shaped cannabis-infused chews, Tyson starred in a commercial with Evander Holyfield who he infamously bit during their 1997 fight.

In the video, Iron Mike gifts his former rival a bag of the product saying ‘I got you your ear [in] cherry pie punch flavor.’ The two then argued over the taste of Holyfield’s ear before Tyson eventually won the exchange.

‘Happy Holidays!’ he wrote in the caption.

WNBA star Angel Reese posted a photo of her puppy Tiago King wearing a Santa hat on her Instagram story, writing ‘Merry Christmas from TT.’

Another basketball star, LeBron James, shared a throwback post from ESPN showing him on Christmas morning when he was three.

The picture shows a young King James holding a basketball in front of a kiddie hoop set. He was also surrounded by other presents in front of their Christmas tree.

James then pointed out another detail with his caption, writing ‘Iykyk [TV] on top of the [TV].’

Boxing superstar Ryan Garcia posted a photo of a tablet as he listened to ‘Noah’s Journey’ from The Notebook’s original soundtrack.

‘Merry Christmas eve,’ Garcia wrote.

Patrick Mahomes and Cristiano Ronaldo greeted their fans with portraits of their families. The Kansas City Chiefs star wrote ‘Merry Christmas’ in a collaborative post with his wife Brittany.

Meanwhile, the Portuguese soccer legend called his family ‘The most important part of Christmas.’

While most of these stars are enjoying the holidays with their families, James and Mahomes are spearheading their teams in Christmas Day games.

The Chiefs are taking on the Steelers in Pittsburgh in the NFL’s Christmas Day doubleheader. Meanwhile, James will lead the Lakers against the Golden State Warriors in the fourth of the NBA’s five-game holiday lineup.

Boxer Claressa Shields Gets Emotional Over How Her Success Changed Her Family: “The More You Do, the More They Don’t Like You” [Video]

By
Claressa Shields

Boxer Claressa Shields, a multi-division champion and undefeated boxer, recently opened up about the impact her success has had on her family relationships.

Ahead of her February 2nd match against Danielle Perkins in Flint, Michigan, Shields appeared on the “Art of Ward” Podcast with Andre Ward. The conversation touched on her fame and wealth, which she has amassed through her successful career in the ring.

Shields explained that while she has provided for her family, her generosity led to expectations that strained her relationships.

“I bought every last one of my siblings a car,” she shared. “My mama a house, my mama two cars, my daddy a car. [I] helped [my dad] with his bills, help mama with her bills, help my sister take care of her three kids.”

Despite her efforts, Shields noted that her sister Briana’s children live with her, and she regularly attends teacher conferences, yet the more she gave, the more resentment seemed to grow.

“It seemed like the more you do, the more that they don’t like you,” she said, fighting back tears. “You work so hard to make all this money and to have a good life for yourself and then the people who you wanna share it with, they just change on you.”

Reflecting on her isolation, she said, “People say it’s lonely at the top but damn, this lonely,” adding, “Family shouldn’t be like that.”

Okay! Remy Ma Serves Face & Bawdy After Claressa Shields Drops Price To Step In The Ring With Her (VIDEO)

By
Remy Ma and Claressa Shields

Whew! Remy Ma is out here serving face and bawdy! The rapper had social media gagging after she dropped a video showing off her flawless face and snatched waist.

Remy Ma Pops Out Looking Good Amid Drama With Papoose & Claressa Shields

On Friday, December 20, Remy Ma hit Instagram with a fire video set to GloRilla & Sexyy Red’s ‘WHATCHU KNO ABOUT ME.’ The ‘Conceited’ femcee kept it simple in her caption, writing, “Reminisce,” along with three white heart emojis. Serving pure winter goddess vibes,

Rem rocked a floor-length white Mongolian coat, a sleek mini dress, and thigh-high Bottega Veneta boots. The video had her IG followers going OFF, as this appears to be the first Remy has popped out amid her ongoing drama with Papoose and Claressa Shields.

Claressa Confirms Price To Fight Remy Ma In The Ring

Remy Ma dropped her latest Instagram video right after Claressa Shields told Jemele Hill in an interview that she’d get in the ring with Remy for just $1. Claressa said she’s got smoke for Remy because Remy leaked her number while exposing her alleged relationship with Papoose. Rem and Claressa went back and forth on social media after Rem called out Pap for supposedly cheating with Claressa. During the drama, Rem shared text messages between Claressa and Papoose and leaked Claressa’s number.

“It don’t have nothing to do with whatever else. It’s just that part alone. That part there is where it’s like… I’m a businesswoman don’t leak my number. Why would you do that?” Claressa explained.

She also made it clear that she’s not really into the beef between Rem and Pap, but she knows the drama brings attention.

“So people like, ‘Oh, she wants to fight her over a dude. Stop it!’ That is so beneath me. It’s the disrespect of the leaking my number part. And that’s it!” Claressa said.

Tyson Fury told there is ‘only one fight’ left for him by Eddie Hearn

By
Tyson Fury

Tyson Fury has been told he will have the opportunity to bounce back from his conclusive points defeat by Oleksandr Usyk in Saturday’s rematch by taking on Anthony Joshua at Wembley.

Fury declined to say if he would fight on after he was beaten by an unanimous points decision in Riyadh, with all three judges awarding the decision to WBA, WBC and WBO champion Usyk by the score of 116-112.

The 36-year-old said “who knows?” when pushed on whether he will continue, adding he will make a decision next year having taken some time off following another gruelling showdown with the remarkable Usyk.

While his dream of becoming the heavyweight division’s undisputed king is dead after successive losses to the Ukrainian master, the chance to claim domestic bragging rights over British rival Joshua is being dangled in front of him.

Eddie Hearn, Joshua’s promoter, insists a Wembley showdown next year between the two would be a box office smash, even if both men are coming off losses. Joshua was knocked out by IBF champion Daniel Dubois in October.

“The reality is there’s only one fight for Tyson Fury and that’s Anthony Joshua. It’s the biggest fight in the history of British boxing and everyone will want to see it,” Hearn told DAZN.

“That wasn’t a Tyson Fury who looked finished. It wasn’t a flat performances, it wasn’t a poor performance. He didn’t look gun shy or like his punch resistance was in question.

“Tyson Fury is still potentially at the peak of his powers, just not good enough to beat Oleksandr Usyk.

“For me AJ against Fury is the one. One at Wembley and then back out here for Riyadh season. I will be pushing his excellency (Saudi Arabia’s boxing powerbroker Turki Alalshikh) to make the fight.”

Fury felt he had won and bitterly disputed the decision, while his promoter Frank Warren said he was “dumbfounded” by the scoring in the rematch at Kingdom Arena.

Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury

Despite conceding four stones and six inches in height, Usyk set the pace for the bulk of the contest, showing greater skill and landing more and bigger shots with greater accuracy.

Fury was outstanding as the rivals produced another classic, albeit more of a chess match than May’s dramatic first encounter, and the rounds were desperately close.

But the Gypsy King’s output visibly decreased in the second half of the fight, with Usyk’s left hand the most potent weapon of the night.

“Thanks to everyone who came and supported me. We move on. We go now into a new year and whatever that brings, we’ll see,” said Fury, who cut out the showboating for the rematch.

“The fight’s done now, it’s in the past. I’ve not got a decision. It is what it is and we move on. I’ll go home to my family. I’ve not seen my kids for 12 weeks.

“You can’t change decisions, I’ve done the best could. If I could have done any more then I would have done. And that’s it.

“I felt good in there. I felt good. I had a good pace, I was on the front foot for 12 rounds. I enjoyed it. I took it more seriously. He never hurt me once. I’ve got a couple of flesh wounds and they’ll be gone in two or three days.”

“I Overlooked How Much My Sister Started Disliking Me”: Claressa Shields Gets Emotional

“I Overlooked How Much My Sister Started Disliking Me”: Claressa Shields Gets Emotional Over Strained Relationship With Family

Multi-division champion Claressa Shields has opened up about her relationship with her family. The undefeated women’s champion is slated to appear in the ring against Brooklyn’s Danielle Perkins on February 2nd at the Dort Federal Event Center in her hometown of Flint, Michigan. Ahead of her planned bout, ‘T-Rex’ appeared in the Art of Ward Podcast alongside Andre Ward.

As the pair discussed Shields’ career, Ward brought up Shields’ fame and money, which she has garnered over the years through her successful run in the sport. Ward, a former world champion himself, pressed the Flint native about how her success has affected her relationship with her family and whether her fame has changed them.

Shields claimed despite helping the people in her life with the bills and material things, they ended up wanting more from her. “I bought every last one of my siblings a car,” she said. “My mama a house, my mama two cars, my daddy a car. [I] helped [my dad] with his bills, help mama with her bills, help my sister take care of her three kids.”

The undefeated world champion claimed that her sister Briana’s three children have been living with her. “[I] go there, sit with the teachers, go to teacher conferences, I do all this stuff and it seemed like the more you do, the more that they don’t like you,” she added. “I overlooked how much my sister, you know, started disliking me.”

Shields asserted that she had “done nothing to” Briana, but her sister eventually changed, as Shields could not help but get emotional. “You work so hard to make all this money and to have a good life for yourself and then the people who you wanna share it with, they just change on you,” Shields said.

“People say it’s lonely at the top but damn, this lonely,” Shields reflected as she got teary-eyed. She highlighted that the people in her life feel like “they deserve my money and they deserve my time and they deserve to tell me who I can and can’t hang around it.” The 29-year-old told Ward that “Family shouldn’t be like that.”

During the same podcast, Shields also shed light on a potential fight between her and a women’s boxing legend, which never happened.

Claressa Shields reveals why the fight with Laila Ali never happened

Claressa Shields recently shared insights into why a fight with Laila Ali never materialized during her appearance on the podcast. According to Shields, the financial terms Ali wanted were eventually met, but Ali couldn’t secure clearance to fight. “Me fighting her right now is still the biggest fight in women’s boxing,” Shields added.

“You got all the Amanda Serranos and Katie Taylors, but Claressa Shields vs. Laila Ali—even in an exhibition—is still the biggest fight in the world for women’s boxing. So why would I turn that down?” The rivalry between Shields and Ali reached its peak in 2020, sparking hopes for a historic showdown.

While Ali, 46, is unlikely to return to the ring, Shields continues to dominate, pursuing a historic fourth undisputed title. For now, the dream of Shields vs. Ali remains one of boxing’s greatest what-ifs.

That said, it appears despite achieving unparalleled success in boxing, Claressa Shields is still struggling in her personal life, especially with the changes her success has brought. What do you think about the issues causing her pain?

Claressa Shields Explains Her Surprising Reasons For Wanting To Fight Remy Ma

By
Claressa Shields

Wasn’t the Papoose drama the straw that broke this camel’s back?

It seems like the cheating scandal between Remy Ma and Papoose is a bit more complicated than we thought, although it has nothing to do with the actual relationship. For those unaware, the former accused the latter of cheating on her with boxer Claressa Shields, but Remy has some cheating allegations of her own with battle rapper Eazy The Block Captain. The big shocker is that Shields’ desire to box the New York femcee has nothing to do with these claims of infidelity. In a teaser for her upcoming interview with Jemele Hill, the world champion revealed her real problems with Remy and spoke on their Instagram spat.

Furthermore, Claressa Shields had challenged any woman to beat her in a boxing match for $100,000, and while no one’s stepped forward, she clarified that she would fight Remy Ma for far less cash. “At this point the girl leaked my number,” the boxer expressed. “So at this point, you can give me a dollar and I’ll put my hand over her.” As such, it seems like this wouldn’t be a fight over Papoose, but rather a fight to make up for a perceived invasion of privacy.

Claressa Shields Explains Her Beef With Remy Ma

“It don’t have nothing to do with whatever else,” Claressa Shields remarked while explaining that her grievances with Remy Ma are not overly personal, but rather mostly professional. “It’s just that part alone. That part there is where it’s like, I’m a businesswoman. Don’t leak my number. Why would you do that? I mean, drama sells. I’m not in that beef. My smoke with her is posting my number. So people like, ‘Oh, she wants to fight her over a dude, whatever,’ stop it. Stop it. That is so beneath me.”

Meanwhile, Papoose recently clarified Fat Joe’s comments about the Remy Ma and Claressa Shields drama. Joey Crack spoke on how he couldn’t do much to stop their fighting despite being so close to both artists, whereas Pap clarified that he was not present at a dinner that Joe spoke of that got fans speculating rapidly. So as you can see, there is still a lot of baggage to handle.

Pure Madness Ensues as Internet Debates ‘Mike Tyson vs. 1500 Children’

By
Mike Tyson

The Internet is a place of wonder. Unusual things happen on it every day. However, this one is extra special! r/whowouldwin, a popular community on reddit, recently posed an interesting question to its members. What did they ask? Well, the post pitted 1500 children against the former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in a fight, asking the community who would win in a fight.

‘Iron’ Mike is 58 years old and is coming off a unanimous decision loss to YouTube star Jake Paul in November. Safe to say that he doesn’t have the kind of power he once used to. So, r/whowouldwin modified the circumstances a little bit. As one would expect, what ensued next was absolute chaos, as fans started predicting the hypothetical fight.

What are the rules for the fight? 

According to a question posted on r/whowouldwin, the scenario imagines Tyson in his prime facing off against 1,500 children aged 6 to 7. These children, with no fighting experience, are solely focused on taking down the former world champion by any means necessary. To make this already horrific hypothetical even more intense, the Reddit post specifies that the children will be released in waves of 250.

Mike Tyson

Tyson was once the most feared man in boxing, with 44 knockouts out of his 50 total wins. Given such a dominant reputation, many would argue the children wouldn’t stand much of a chance. However, fans quickly came up with various scenarios for the fight, some of which suggested things might not end so well for the former world champion.

Mike Tyson loses to 1500 children?

The uniqueness of the idea quickly attracted a bunch of comments, with a variety of answers to the question. One user suggested an unusual method for Mike Tyson would win the fight. “Mike wins by not fighting but running away. The toddlers are going to exhaust much faster than Mike and die to exhaustion. To sustain himself he could eat the ears of his fallen enemies,” the user quipped. While the comment is clearly sarcasm, even if Tyson could run for long periods of time, the children are released in waves of 250.

Another user gave zero chances to Tyson winning the fight. “Kids take it first wave. Too much biomass,” the user wrote. A single punch from the first wave of 250 children may prove too much for the champion.

The next user revealed, who would win “depends” on various factors. “Like someone said, Mike can easily run away but if it’s a cage fight and you literally have a wave of kamikaze kids throwing themselves at Tyson, he dies on the first wave,” the user wrote. Perhaps the numbers can be adjusted to give Tyson a fighting chance.

Someone else proposed another scenario for Tyson’s loss. “Tyson will eventually die of blood loss from getting bitten hundreds of times,” the user wrote. It might not even take that long for this to happen.

The next user felt time was the main issue for Tyson’s win. “Obviously 1500 kids. Like come on. He’s not gonna have time to punch all of them,” the user wrote. Tyson would even tire out mid-way through the first wave.

That being said, as unusual as this hypothetical fight was, it’s safe to say that fans don’t think Mike Tyson will be able to win against 1500 children. But what do you think? Who do you think would win?

Will Tyson Fury fight Anthony Joshua? Will Gypsy King take a trilogy contest with Oleksandr Usyk instead?

By
Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk

Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury have been linked with a huge all-British clash for years. With Fury on the cusp of his world title fight with Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday night in Riyadh, shown live on TNT Sports Box Office, there is speculation that the Briton could finally move onto a fight against Joshua in 2025. Fury, his promoters and Eddie Hearn all have had their say in the recent past.

The two fighters have circled one another for a decade, but will Tyson Fury finally fight Anthony Joshua?
Fury fights Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday night, live on TNT Sports Box Office, and whether he wins or loses, most British fight fans will hope that before Joshua and Fury step away from the sport, they will finally settle their rivalry.
The two almost fought a few years ago, before they were sidetracked, in part, by Usyk.
In 2021 it seemed set that the two Britons would meet in the ring for an undisputed clash in their next fights, but ultimately, Fury was forced to honour an obligation to take on Deontay Wilder in his trilogy rematch, which he duly won.
While he retained his WBC crown, Joshua found himself teed up to defend his three belts against Usyk, who was getting used to the heavyweight division after moving up from cruiserweight.
Ultimately, the Ukrainian would win both of his two fights against Joshua to set up an undisputed clash with Fury, which he won in May. That leads us to now, with several options ahead for Fury.
  • What is Fury’s boxing record? Has Usyk ever lost? Who is pound-for-pound best?
  • What could Fury do next after second Usyk bout? Trilogy? AJ super fight? Retire?

Fury: ‘It would be a travesty if we didn’t fight’

Speaking to TNT Sports, Fury said earlier in the year that it would be a huge disappointment if he and Joshua did not meet.
“At the end of the day, it would be a travesty if we didn’t fight,” Fury said.
“No matter if he [Joshua] loses 20 more fights. If he doesn’t win another fight and has 10 years away from the game, it doesn’t matter, we have to fight.”

Arum – Joshua is ‘the one fight’

For Fury’s co-promoter Bob Arum, he thinks Fury still has Joshua on his mind, particularly if he wins the three belts on Saturday.
“The one fight that [Fury] is looking to if he beats Usyk is Joshua … that fight has been talked about for as long as I can remember,” reported BoxingScene.
He added that Turki Alalshikh would look to deliver the clash at Wembley, rather than in Riyadh.
“I think Turki would look for that fight to happen with his participation in Wembley,” Arum added, as well as saying a Joshua fight could come “instead of” an Usyk trilogy.
Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua

Warren – Fury and Usyk will fight trilogy

For Fury’s other promoter, Frank Warren, he believes Usyk is the next opponent come what may.
That means that any Fury v Joshua clash would not be feasible at least until the second half of 2025, but if Usyk retains all belts on Saturday, it is far from impossible he may choose to retire, which would clear the way for the British extravaganza.
“It’s contracted, and whatever happens,” Warren told Boxing News. “That will be the case if Tyson wins, providing nobody retires.”

Hearn – Joshua wants Fury or Dubois next

Joshua’s latest fight was a defeat to Daniel Dubois in September, losing out on the chance to become a three-time world champion.
It had been hoped by many that a win against Dubois would give Joshua and Fury the chance to bring all four belts back for another undisputed clash, but that now seems unlikely.
Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, thinks that Joshua wants either Dubois or Fury next, and has no interest in any other fighter.
“It’s weird saying it after a knockout defeat but AJ is actually in a really good position,” Hearn told BBC Sport.
“We’re going to fight Dubois or Fury next. That’s it. No other interest or warm-up.”

Tyson Fury ready to forgive Anthony Joshua with £150million message to rival

By
Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua

Tyson Fury was left fuming by Anthony Joshua’s defeat by Daniel Dubois – but is willing to put their differences aside for the sake of £150m

Tyson Fury is willing to overlook Anthony Joshua’s defeat by Daniel Dubois for a potential £150 million showdown.

Joshua, who was expected to triumph over Dubois at Wembley in September, suffered a shocking loss, being knocked down four times and defeated within five rounds. From his ringside position, Fury lambasted his fallen foe, accusing him of blowing a colossal nine-figure payday. Despite initial concerns that Joshua’s demand for a high-stakes rematch with Dubois might derail the long-awaited resolution to his ten-year rivalry with Fury, the Olympic gold medallist has chosen to play it safe.

He will now wait for the result of Fury’s Saturday night rematch with Oleksandr Usyk, whom Fury lost to in May, forfeiting his world title and the opportunity to become the first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis in 1999. If Fury regains his title, calls for a historic trilogy fight with the two-weight kingpin next year will be inevitable.

However, Fury seems more enticed by what he perceives as an easier bout against fellow two-time champion Joshua, a fight that nearly materialised in 2021 before Fury was mandated to face Deontay Wilder again. Ahead of his fourth career rematch, Fury declared: “I don’t want to work for f*** all. I want as much as I can get. I want the easiest fights possible for the largest amounts of money possible.”

Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua

“I don’t want the toughest fights possible for the least amount of money. I wasn’t born in a Christmas cracker. I meant what I said about Joshua costing me £150m. We would have had a two-fight deal lined up for a s*** tonne of money. Unfortunately, doors open, doors close; that’s what it is. But it doesn’t… here’s the thing I said the other day; what does it matter if you’ve been knocked out twice or whatever, four, five times, or six or seven? What does it matter? Does it really matter if he has another loss or not? It doesn’t matter, it’s still a great fight.”

Fury could face Joshua even if he follows his countryman in losing to Usyk for a second time this weekend. Joshua is expected to return to the ring in May which could see a meeting with Fury held in the UK rather than in Saudi Arabia. Such a ‘battle of the losers’ would still earn both fighters staggering purses even if there was no world title on the line. And Fury, who will split a £150m pot with Usyk, admitted lining his pockets is his only remaining motivation. “I don’t care about my legacy,” he added.

“Legacy is my kids. One thing I do care about is my family, my kids and providing for them, looking after them; that’s it. I’m only doing it for the money, obviously. All prizefighters, if they tell the truth, do it for the money, don’t they? Who here is not doing it for the money?”
