The respect between the two hotshots seemed mutual. However, this wasn’t the case a few months back.
After her very first combat sports loss in the PFL, Paul hit out at ‘G.W.O.A.T.’, calling her a loser. ‘The Problem Child’ bagged some unprecedented reactions with these comments, and eventually, his beef with Shields only increased.
Post that, even ‘T-Rex’ went after Paul and took massive verbal shots at him. However, the two seem to be on good terms now, and Shields wanting to fight on Jake Paul’s undercard is actually a good sign.

As Shields also seems to be coming into the picture, Paul can actually make the biggest women’s boxing event altogether. Should the G.W.O.A.T. win on February 5, she may box Savannah Marshall next.
