Laila Ali Declares She Won’t Come Out Of Retirement & Claressa Shields Calls Her “Scared, Old & Bitter”
On Thursday, October 30, Ali released a twenty-six-minute YouTube video dropping “receipts and documented evidence” to show that Shields’ claim that Ali “would come out of retirement for a $15 million fight offer… was false and taken out of context.”
About seventeen minutes into the video, Ali shared whether Shields made her “mad enough” to jump out of retirement and into the ring with her.
“Absolutely not. After years of blatant lies and vile disrespect, making unsolicited negative remarks about me, questioning the legitimacy of my boxing legacy, and having the audacity to cross the line by disrespecting my deceased father, trying to use his name to discredit his daughter… she will not be rewarded with the opportunity to share the ring with me or anything else,” Ali stated.
Shields apparently caught wind of Ali’s video and took to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Thursday, calling Ali “scared, old & bitter.”
On Friday, October 31, Shields returned to the platform, writing, “Y’all be fooled by anything ‘I won’t Reward her with a fight’ how are you Rewarding me by supposedly knocking me Out… being knocked out is not a reward. All that bark with no bite ‘we all know she can’t bust a grape’ But you don’t want to get hit by me though”
