Laila Ali Gives Definitive 2-Word Answer To Claressa Shields' Fight Callout
Undisputed champion Claressa Shields (17-0, 3 KOs) has repeatedly challenged boxing legend Laila Ali (24-0, 21 KOs) for years. Despite being 17 years older and retired since 2007, Ali has remained the target of Shields’ persistent callouts.
In 2025, the rivalry intensified after Ali mentioned she might consider fighting Shields if offered between $15 and $20 million. In response, Shields publicly presented a massive $15 million check bearing Ali’s name. However, this gesture failed to persuade Ali to accept the challenge.
The situation escalated further, with Shields expressing her frustration in numerous interviews and talk shows, making harsh comments aimed at undermining Ali’s legacy in the sport. These repeated jabs eventually drew a firm response from Ali.
In a video posted on her YouTube channel on October 16, Ali directly addressed Shields’ remarks, effectively putting an end to the ongoing back-and-forth.
