In the star-studded universe of Hollywood, certain luminaries shine brighter than others, and Jamie Foxx is undoubtedly one such star. Known for his charisma on-screen, Foxx’s current absence from the limelight is very disconcerting to his loyal fans. A sudden undisclosed health scare has pushed Foxx into a realm of uncertainty and secrecy, leaving the entertainment industry on edge.

Among the many concerned is professional boxer Claressa Shields, who has found herself in the same boat as millions of others, anxiously awaiting updates about Foxx’s health.

Claressa Shields, a professional boxer, joined many voices expressing concern for Foxx’s health, sharing her sentiment on social media. “I pray that jamie foxx get better. I hate hearing the news about him. Pull thru G!” she tweeted.

The Oscar-winning actor has been one that frequents the boxing world more often than the next fellow. Earlier, the buzzword for sports-Hollywood crossover materialized when Foxx was deemed to be the one who would star the heavyweight legend Mike Tyson in his biopic. However, as recently as last month, Daily Mail reported what a business associate purported, “Mike has been telling people Jamie is no longer going to be playing him. They are friends apparently, but somehow the whole proposal of Jamie starting off as 20-something Mike is not going to work.”

Not only Tyson but five-weight class champion Floyd Mayweather is a friend of the actor as well. In fact, at one point in time, a video went viral wherein Foxx was seen impersonating Money and was quite an accurate rendition of the boxing veteran.

Fans joined Claressa Shields in sending prayers and positive thoughts for Jamie Foxx’s health. While the fear of the ‘worst-case scenario’ looms, the collective hope and goodwill remain stronger.

MzFightDiva40, another fan, encapsulated the emotional turmoil shared by many. “I was just saying my heart can’t handle it. He means so much to so many people. #JamieFoxx 🙏🏾,” she tweeted.

Twitter user Duane Freeman shared that Foxx’s doctors are running more tests and would ensure his complete recovery before releasing him from the hospital. “The Oscar winner has been advised to keep his stress level down once he leaves the hospital,” he added.

Freeman further shared information from People Magazine, stating that the ‘Ray’ star, currently in the hospital recovering from an undisclosed medical emergency, “is stable and not in a life-threatening situation now.”
