Claressa Shields was recently all over the news after she suffered her very first combat sports loss. ‘GWOAT’ ended up on the losing vertical against Abigail Montes in her second PFL outing. Subsequently, a lot of fans criticized Shields for her performance and one of her biggest critics was the YouTuber turned boxer, Jake Paul.

Both Shields and Paul have engaged in banter earlier, too. But this time, ‘The Problem Child’ elevated the trash talk game by congratulating Abigail Montes on his Twitter handle. He also painted shots at ‘T-Rex.

Paul wrote, I love karma @Claressashields,”

“Congrats Abigail Montes! Someone get her a Twitter!”

Shields couldn’t hold herself back from giving a stern reply to ‘The Problem Child‘.

She tweeted, “this is funny. You come running when I lose a split decision in a while new world mma but never even once said “congrats on all you’ve done and aspire to do.” 2 things that remain Jake, I still fight better than you & you won’t accomplish 10% of what I have in boxing or life”

Later, she added, “Unlike Jake I fought a real mma fighter, he has yet to face a real boxer in boxing but Showtime will still back him though”

In her above comments, Shields didn’t budge an inch in going after Jake Paul. Also, with her statement, it seems she hasn’t taken her PFL loss to heart, and moreover, ‘GWOAT’ seems hungry to come back and attain a stellar win next time.
