Jake Paul praised by boxer Claressa Shields for supporting women\u2019s boxing Instagram: claressashields2 \/ jakepaulBoxer Claressa Shields has praised Jake Paul months after their online beef, saying she \u201cappreciates him\u201d for getting involved in women\u2019s boxing. YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul has certainly shaken things up in the boxing scene over the past few years, and as well as taking on several high-profile fights, he\u2019s also landed himself in beef with a variety of people such as UFC President Dana White. Paul and pro boxer Claressa Shields have been going back and forth with each other over the past few months, with Shields claiming Paul would get his \u201cass whooped\u201d if he steps inside a boxing ring with her. This later led to the influencer criticizing her on social media after she lost a fight to Abigail Montes by split decision. I love karma @Claressashields, Congrats Abigail Montes! Someone get her a Twitter! pic.twitter.com\/gRTqKLZt8A \u2014 Jake Paul (@jakepaul) October 28, 2021 However, it looks like the beef between the two fighters may have been squashed, as in an interview with TMZ, Shields praised Paul for his work in women\u2019s boxing, particularly for helping to finalize a fight between Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor. \u201cI wish [Jake] the best,\u201d she said, adding: \u201cWhat he\u2019s doing for Amanda is great. I think that him getting involved in helping the fight with Katie Taylor is great for Amanda and Katie and it\u2019s great for women\u2019s boxing. I appreciate him for that and I just wish him the best in whatever he does and just keeps his damn hands up, that\u2019s it.\u201d However, it appears that Paul\u2019s previous comments on her loss have not been forgotten, as she called him out for calling her a \u201closer.\u201d \u201cThe only beef I have with Jake Paul is don\u2019t ever disrespect me,\u201d she said. \u201cHe tried to kick me when I was down and also going to a new sport. \u201cI lost a split decision. I didn\u2019t get submitted, I didn\u2019t get knocked out, I didn\u2019t get beat up. It was a split and I\u2019m also brand new in MMA and when he made that comment, calling me a loser and stuff, that\u2019s what really made me want to fight him.\u201d Paul is continuing to make waves in the boxing industry, and it looks like he has big plans for the future, even hinting that he may even make a move to the NFL after eventually retiring from boxing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
