Laila Ali is thinking about coming out of retirement if she can face current champion Claressa Shields for a set price.
Ali said that she would face Shields in a dream match for $15-$20 million. “Unless somebody calls me and says they have it, we’re not going to have a conversation,” Ali said. “I’m not trying to come back and fight, but if someone offered that kind of money, I would actually have to think about it.”
Shields would go on Twitter to respond to Ali and say, “15-20 million to fight lil ole me, I’m honored.”
Her tweets continued, “What a great weekend of boxing! Really motivated! Now @TheRealLailaAli I’m the GREATEST NOW! Be careful what you ask for! You know I’ve been wanting to make you eat your words! You not a better boxer than me and at 175, I’ll put you on your back! BEEN READY FOR YOU!
She also added, “If Mike Tyson, 58, can fight against Jake Paul, 27, I don’t know why y’all scared for Laila Ali, 4,7 vs. me, 30! She think she bad right… I been telling her if she want to prove she so much better skilled than me and got so much power… come do it. Don’t start copping pleas now.”
