Claressa Shields Ropes In Gervonta Davis’ Mother to Prove a Point Against His Offensive Remarks

Claressa Shields and Gervonta Davis have rubbed each other off the wrong way. The two leading boxers of their weight classes are now embroiled in a war of words on social media. In fresh updates on this front, ‘GWOAT’ Shields has taken a jab at ‘Tank’ while roping in his mother for comments he allegedly made on the former’s looks. Interestingly, both are in Las Vegas, for the Canelo vs. Munguia fight week.

Tank has been an active soul on social media for a few days now. While he made sure the world knew that Floyd Mayweather and him were not on good terms, he relayed the same information about his dislike for Devin Haney while reacting to the news of Ryan Garcia testing positive for PEDs, something Shields didn’t agree with. Shields sought to point out the same, by noting, “Tank’ really just don’t like {Devin Haney] and it shows.” And from there began an entire fiasco.

Claressa Shields claps back at Tank

On X, 29-year-old Shields posted an image of Tank’s mother, Kenya Brown, along with him. In captions, she responded to Garvonta Davis supposedly calling her a dog. She highlighted that she would use the inspiration of black women like Brown and herself to respond to every “man” who took swipes at black women.

She wrote, “Now @Gervontaa remember the strength and grace of our mothers, the strong black women who raised us. This is your lovely mom. Like me, I hope she would take offense to any so-called man — son or not — calling another black woman — me — a dog. Or better yet, putting their hands on one! Keep coming for me, Tank, you look dumb! And keep using your b*tch@ss brand to try tear us down; I’m gonna keep using mine — and your momma’s beautiful face — to uplift us! #GWOT.”

Prior to this, Tank had noted on his X that he does not like Haney and “the rest of y’all…” Then, when the boxing world chimed in on this freshly brewing fiasco between the fighters, a fan noted that Claressa Shields was “shady.” Agreeing with the user, the WBA lightweight champ wrote, “I would be too… look how she look.”

However, it does not seem like this entire back-and-forth will end here. Claressa Shields has vowed to get back at Tank for his comments in her forthcoming diss track.

A Diss Track on the Horizon

It seems like the era of diss tracks has officially set in. Kendrick Lamar has released his diss track to settle scores with Drake. Ryan Garcia in the previous week released his own diss track toward Haney, continuing his relentless efforts to undermine the fighter. Now, Shields too seems to be hopping on to the bandwagon after previously releasing a diss track aimed at Alycia Baumgardner.

After Tank had objected to the way Shields looked, the latter underscored her displeasure at the comments. Vowing to even out the scores, she revealed that she would release her diss track aimed at Tank very soon. On X she replied to him saying, “I’m dissin you on a song next midget. I got a great verse for you champ…” In a subsequent post, she doubled down on these chances. She wrote to her fans, “Diss track coming, subscribe to my YouTube channel.”
