Not that you can’t be a matador, you need guts to stand in front of a raging bull. You need to subdue your fear and be ready to face the consequences. To be lifted by a bull’s horn and sustain life-threatening injuries is a real possibility, and it almost came true for a woman. While she was saved by grace, her viral clip has left Claressa Shields laughing.
In a viral video, fans can witness a bull causing a ruckus and people taking it into a corner to avoid the bull. However, a woman was not lucky enough to run into the safety bars to save herself in time. She faced the brunt of the rampaging bull just outside the safety area. While the bull lifted her and was about to stamp her on the soil, she dropped to the ground, and someone dragged her inside the safety bars. This close call saved her, and thousands watched the viral clip. ‘GWOAT’ was one of them.

Notably, the American boxer is making waves on the internet and has been an active user on X. She gives her unfiltered take on every minute development of the boxing world. Shields took the world by storm as she recently dropped a diss track targeting her long-time rival, Alycia Baumgardner. Instead of a boxing ring, hip-hop became the battleground.
In her humorous take, Shields made a parody of GloRilla’s hit song, ‘Yeah Glo!’ and gave the title a spin, naming it ‘Yeah GWOAT’. The undisputed champion flaunted her gold straps lying on a Maybach, boasted of her accomplishments, and slammed Baumgardner, at 15-1. The diss track followed their high-voltage encounter in Las Vegas, where Shields supposedly slapped Baumgardner’s hand. Their rivalry has been brewing for some time now. But is a fight between the two possible? The 14-0 record holder’s promoter, Dmitry Salita, lifted the veil.

‘GWOAT’ and the never-happening fight with Alycia Baumgardner
Shields, an Olympic gold medalist, and an undisputed champion, competes at middleweight. Meanwhile, Baumgardner reigns over the junior lightweight division. That effectively puts a 30-pound difference in their weight category, a gap that is hard to bridge.
Salita told Boxing Scene that the situation was similar to Manny Pacquiao pursuing a fight with Mike Tyson. He said, “It is so ridiculous. It is not real. And people that don’t really know boxing or follow women’s boxing, they just see names. They don’t understand weight classes, [but] they think about it and talk about it.” Salita has played down the scenario as “all talk.”
