A new chapter in women’s boxing is unfolding. Claressa Shields, the two-division undisputed champion, has publicly challenged Shadasia Green. Recently, Green fought Olivia Curry on the Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz undercard. Unhappy with Green’s performance, Shields expressed her disdain on Twitter.
Furthermore, Shadasia Green, known as the ‘Female Mike Tyson,’ went the distance with Olivia Curry and won by unanimous decision. However, the bout was not the one-sided domination many expected. Even fans had mixed reactions to the fight. Moreover, this caught Shields’ critical eye as a potential showdown is now brewing. But why did Shields issue this unexpected challenge? Read to find out!
Why did Claressa Shields challenge Shadasia Green?
Recently, Shields took to X (formerly Twitter) saying, “So y’all want me to go handle Shadasia at 168, y’all said! That performance I seen tonight was so low tier! But if the fans want it, I’ll take her! Beat her, too!”
So, she openly criticized Green’s performance and accepted her as a potential opponent. Furthermore, Green was predicted to win by knockout against Curry. But, instead, they went toe-to-toe for ten straight rounds. Although Green won, some fans were disappointed. Additionally, they expected Green to finish Curry before the final bell.
So y’all want me to go handle Shadasia at 168 y’all said! That performance I seen tonight was so low tier! But If the fans want it! I’ll take her! Beat her too!🤑🤑

But Green didn’t silently tolerate the snide remark by Shields. She, too, took to X and retaliated, saying, “Get off my body! I’m not even in your weight class, and you always mentioning me. Any female except the people you have befriended, makes your insecurities blossom. You got too much time on your hands; find a f*cking hobby!!” This exchange ignited interest in a potential fight. And now, both fighters’ records and reputations are now on the line.
