Female fighter Claressa Shields challenges Jake Paul: \u201cHe\u2019s getting his ass whooped\u201d Instagram\/claressashields\/JakepaulFemale boxer Claressa Shields is down to go head-to-head against YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul in the ring and challenged him to step into a bout with her. Jake Paul has taken the boxing world by storm in recent months, securing victories against former UFC pros Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley. Now, his next battle could be of the sexes. At a Professional Fighting League press conference on September 29, Claressa Shields explained that she would never duke it out on a card headlined by Jake. \u201cDon\u2019t ever disrespect me. I would never fight on an undercard of Jake Paul. I\u2019m a three-time division world champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist in boxing. I would never fight on an undercard of Jake Paul,\u201d she blasted, subsequently claiming that she could beat him up. Claressa Shields wasn’t best pleased when asked if she would fight on Jake Paul’s undercard: “”I can beat up Jake Paul at the weight class I’m at right now.”” [\ud83d\udcfd\ufe0f @PFLMMA] pic.twitter.com\/4yiNsAw8KV \u2014 Michael Benson (@MichaelBensonn) September 29, 2021 Shields wants to fight Jake Paul To follow this up, in an interview with TMZ, she doubled down on her comments, stating that she wasn\u2019t \u201ctalking s**t\u201d about Jake Paul but rather just \u201cspeaking facts.\u201d \u201cIf Jake Paul gets inside a boxing ring with me, he\u2019s getting his ass whooped,\u201d she said. \u201cLook, Jake Paul\u2019s gonna say a lot of stuff. He\u2019s gonna say it\u2019s \u2018oh, she\u2019s a woman and I would never hit a girl\u2019 or \u2018it\u2019s a lose-lose because if I beat her I\u2019m a woman beater.\u2019\u201d After Shields predicted Paul\u2019s reaction to her challenge, she further backed up her fighting words. \u201cI\u2019m a decorated female fighter. I\u2019m the motherf**king GOAT!\u201d According to Shields, while Paul believes that fellow fighters Amanda Serrano (who signed with his team) is the greatest of all time, she\u2019s the real best female boxer. \u201cIf he don\u2019t want to fight cause he\u2019s worried about his image, we can spar. He can bring his camera crew and I can bring mine,\u201d she suggested. \u201cIf you want to do exhibition style with two minute rounds because I\u2019m a woman, we can do that too.\u201d Despite all the ways Shields proposed a fight with Jake, she maintained the following guarantees: \u201cI promise you Jake Paul would get hurt. He\u2019d probably get dropped. He will have a newfound respect for me if we were to spar or fight.\u201d So far Jake Paul hasn\u2019t responded to the challenge, but it would be very interesting to see if he accepts or declines the offer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
