Claressa Shields and Franchon Crews-Dezurn are set to face off in the ring at Detroit’s Little Caesars Arena on Feb. 22; however, at their ultimate weigh-in, they began warming up their fingers in a shoving match.
Donned in a floor-length inexperienced mink coat, a Louis Vuitton velvet swimsuit, and a bob wig in the fashion of Faith Evans, the undefeated heavyweight champion Shields pulled up on her opponent—who was decked out in a black fur and orange wig—going head-to-head for a conventional trash speaking session. And then issues went left.
According to Shields, Crews-Dezurn headbutted her in an attempt to throw the struggle out of worry. The two fighters and their entourages exchanged phrases and shoves before the scene calmed back down. The GWOAT immediately took to social media to call out her opponent for being unprofessional and let her know that she was coming for another win in the ring.
“I got so much smoke for you tomorrow, I don’t give a f— what you post,” Shields said. “You better put your motherf—-ing dukes up, b****. First you walk up with the hat and the brim get me in the face. Then after you do that, you all in my face pressing your forehead against mine. If you don’t get the hell off me.”
She continued with phrases for Crews-Dezurn’s husband,
“Let me speak to little short man, Glenn. Boy, let me let you know one thing. You tried to run behind that motherf—ing billboard speaking about you gone do one thing to me? First of all, Pap will knock your little a** out. You ain’t never gained no world championship and you leaping in people’s face like you may whoop someone a**. You ain’t gone whoop my a**, you ain’t gone whoop Pap a**
She also made sure to save some smoke for her primary nemesis Laila Ali, who publicly ridiculed Shields’ physique and questioned whether or not she was in preventing form.
“I BET AT Lil Ali won’t be chatting shit about my body no more! Take your shirt off and let’s see your six pack you snake hating ass witch! This the GWOAT- Shields Era,” she said in a X post.
Crews-Dezurn has fired back with claims that Shields as properly as the struggle’s sponsors, Wynn and Zeus TV, are trying to railroad her by bending the principles in an effort to feed social media with content.
“My team and I have been set up and put in hostile environments to go viral & get content,” she said. “My team and I have been ambushed and put in unsafe environments without proper protection or protocol. Despite what is being portrayed in the media, my team nor I has ever been the aggressors in any situation. I was not aware that I would be pushed or any of the events that took place.”
She continued,
“This is going too far. I was force[d] in this predicament. Not the first time violence has erupted at a CS event. My reputation is stellar on how my team and I conduct business.”
Of course, Papoose was proper by his woman’s facet through all of the drama and will seemingly be the one to stroll her to the ring for the big struggle. Hopefully, the squabbles between Shields and Crews-Dezurn end inside the ropes. Either means, the sisters with fists have all eyes on them for their big night time in the ring. Wishing them both luck!
