Middleweight boxer Claressa Shields claims she could “beat up” Jake Paul

"I, Claressa Shields, will whoop Jake Paul's a*s!"

Claressa Shields has claimed that she could "beat up" Jake Paul and that it is "disrespectful" to suggest she would fight on his undercard. The 26-year-old is a two-time Olympic gold medallist and currently holds the WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO belts across two weight classes.  After she was asked whether she would fight on Paul's next undercard, Shields was quick to dismiss the prospect by suggesting that 'The Problem Child' doesn't possess the same 'skills or accomplishments' as her. "Don't ever disrespect me. I would never fight on the undercard of Jake Paul," said the undefeated Shields. "I would never fight on the undercard of someone who does not possess the skills or accomplishments that I have." https://twitter.com/Claressashields/status/1443389448423723010?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1443389448423723010%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fsport%2Fboxing%2F58750720 The American also stated that she would beat Paul if the pair had a fight. "I, Claressa Shields, will whoop Jake Paul's a*s!" she told TMZ Sports. "He can come in the ring weighing 180 pounds and I will come weighing 168 and I will beat the s**t out of him! "Jake Paul is making his money, he's doing his thing, but stay away from us real fighters. "And anybody out there that say 'Oh, Jake Paul will destroy her because she's a woman', ... I'm the greatest woman! So, no, Jake Paul won't do nothing with me and if he think he can, he can come see me. "I've been boxing for 14 years, 2 Olympics but they would still give Jake Paul the nod because he's a man. And it's like, you guys don't know nothing!" said Shields. Shields - who is nicknamed the GWOAT - also competes in MMA, winning her first bout by technical knockout in June against Brittney Elkin. Related links:
