Pulse Check: Claressa Shields Has Entered the Chat

Before the drama, she was already undisputed

Claressa Shields has been trending and not just for her footwork.

When the GWOAT speaks, the hunters listen. And right now, Claressa Shields is giving us plenty to talk about. Her latest sit-down with journalist Blake Newby reminds us why she was undisputed long before the gossip started flying.

The chatter’s loud. Speculation is swirling about her relationship with rapper Papoose and the drama it stirs up with Remy Ma. But let’s be clear: Claressa Shields needs no co-star. She is the main event.

The interview dropped today, May 26, 2025, on a platform called According to Blake. It’s a relatively small outlet, but Blake Newby delivered one of the strongest Claressa Shields interviews we’ve seen in a minute: respectful, well-researched, and deeply real.

They talked legacy. Self-worth. Critics. Confidence. Boxing’s double standards. Even relationships. Claressa came across sharp, grounded, and done with the shrinking act. She’s in her soft girl era, but doesn’t owe anybody softness. And honestly? It suits her.

What do you think, hunters? Are you following the drama with Papoose or just here for the next fight? Hit the comments and sound off.
