“What a Clown Show” – Claressa Shields Rips Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury Press Conference

Professional boxer and MMA fighter Claressa Shields has let her feelings known on the recent Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury press conference.

‘The Problem Child’ and Fury are scheduled to fight on December 18 in the main event of a Showtime pay-per-view event. Tommy along with Tyson Fury, and John were present at the BT Sport office while Paul attended it online. The Fury family really went after ‘The Problem Child’ with John even squaring up to the television.

Shields, who has an ongoing conflict with Paul, let her feelings known about the press conference. She recently went live on social media, and while talking about her upcoming fight, she touched upon the presser.

She said, “Oh, speaking of, first of all so, I saw the Jake Paul and Tommy Fury press conference. What a clown show, honestly, what a clown show. But that is what they have to do to sell fights. People wanna see Jake Paul fight just because of the antics he brings to boxing. Other than that, ain’t no real fighter trying to see that, we know what’s gonna happen.”

Shields and Paul have been having a go at each other for some time now. She recently challenged Jake Paul to a sparring session, and even bet $100,000.

Claressa Shields returns to boxing

Shields, a former two-time Olympic gold medalist, and multi-time boxing champion, made a switch to MMA. She signed with the PFL in 2020 and made her professional MMA debut in 2021. The debutant won the fight via TKO in the third round. However, her second fight didn’t go as planned, and she lost via a split decision.

Shields is ready to fight again, but this time in a boxing ring. She will take on Ema Kozin on December 11 and defend her WBA, WBC, IBF, and The Ring female middleweight titles. Shields is currently unbeaten in her boxing career and has an 11-0 record. Many consider her the best female boxer right now. She would love to get back to winning ways come December 11 and keep her titles.

According to Shields, she’s not done with MMA yet but has to defend her titles in boxing as well.
