Claressa Shields, the only one other than Roy Jones Jr. to have world titles in both middleweight and heavyweight, is undoubtedly one of the best women’s boxers the world has ever seen. The two-time Olympic gold medalist with an undefeated record of 15-0, calls herself the “GWOAT” (Greatest Woman of All Time). So, it was only a matter of time before Hollywood, decided to make a film on her life and illustrious career.

A movie, “The Fire Inside,” is set to release in December, offering fans a deeper insight into her 2012 Olympic triumph. Since its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, Shields has ramped up her social media activity, engaging frequently with fans. Recently, her online presence took an amusing turn after she made an unconventional request on the platform X leading to a wave of humorous fan responses.

Editing skills on display for Claressa Shields

During the Women’s Sports Foundation’s Annual Salute, where she’s a regular attendee, Shields shared a glamorous photo of herself on the red carpet. Wearing a stunning greyish-blue gown accessorized with a bold “GWOAT” chain, the 29-year-old took to ‘X’ with a playful caption: “Edit me a date next me 😊😅 I wanna see how y’all look next to me.”

Even if the request for a photo date might have been a joke on her part, her personal life is going through a bit of a rocky change at the moment. Claressa Shields got engaged to her boyfriend, Tony Rich, in December 2023. However, a few months ago, while on an appearance on the “Way Up With Angela Yee” podcast, she revealed that the pair are on a break and are “not together right now.” Shields explained her decision, citing her demanding career and the limited timeframe athletes have to compete in boxing.

Regardless of this, she has been at her cheerful best, as was reflected in her post asking for edits to her image from the red carpet. What followed was a barrage of edits and jokes that quickly went viral. Fans flooded her post with everything from creatively doctored images to flirtatious and lighthearted comments.

Fans made several edits that were extremely hilarious. The GWOAT was a great sport and acknowledged and replied to almost every comment. Some fans edited the post, while others joined the comments to have a lighthearted conversation with her. One man who edited their image in with the captions: “This the best I could do but we look good together baby lol,” forced her to reply. She commented, “This post only one person followed directions 🤣,” stating how fans who were commenting completely missed the point of the post.

A slightly portly fan of hers decided to add in their image next to hers. The hilarious noted, “Its mostly muscle camera ads 10 pounds 🤓,” while trying to pass off the image. While she didn’t reply to this comment, many is the comments were in splits.

One fan wrote, “If you had dm I would be shooting my shot,” stating that if Claressa Shields’ inbox was open, he would have already tried his luck. Well, the comment got the attention of T-Rex as she wrote, “You got my attention, go ahead,” which was followed by a back-and-forth between the fighter and the fan.

Another fan wrote, “One thing I can say about Clarissa is that she’s bringing more to the table than just a nice body and a beautiful smile,” appreciating the 29-year-old. Once again, Shields replied to the comment and wrote, “Hahahahaha that’s 💯.”

Another fan who edited in an image of Gervonta Davis next to her, wrote, “U should squash the beef with king Davis. Y’all would make a super baby human with king Davis 💯🍿,” wanting to see if Tank and Claressa Shields could get together. The fan wanted to see both of them ditch their rivalry and reconcile. The two are very clearly not on good terms and have had long spats on X. Last year, the 29-year-old got in a heated exchange with Tank on ‘X.’ The incident happened after Jake Paul‘s loss to Tommy Fury. While Shields showed her support to Paul after the loss, Tank attacked the women’s heavyweight champion for cheering for a “clown.” The Flint native defended her comments and stated the importance of sportsmanship in the game.

Despite her intense focus on her career, Shields continues to exhibit a down-to-earth and playful persona, endearing herself to fans both in and out of the ring. Her interaction with fans in this lighthearted exchange demonstrates her approachable nature, even as she remains one of the most accomplished athletes of her generation.
