Claressa Shields, widely regarded as the GWOAT (Greatest Woman of All Time) has issued a daring open challenge. Speaking at the BET Awards 2025, Shields told Hollywood Unlocked, “Free smoke for anybody who feel like they can beat me in a fight. I got a $100k for any girl that think they can whoop me.”
The challenge is not limited to boxers. Shields extended the invitation to any woman, whether a street fighter, professional boxer, or MMA athlete. She said, “Street fighter, boxer, MMA. Hey, if you can beat me, I got a $100k for you.”
Her remarks follow a rumored call-out from Tesehki, sister of Chrisean Rock. Anís brought up Tesehki’s supposed challenge, saying, “Tesehki came out here tryna challenge that beast.” Shields replied with measured skepticism: “But was she? I don’t know. This is how a ‘call‑out’ goes. You call me out, I say yes. We scrap. That’s how we do in my hood.”
Tense Back-and-Forth Surfaces
Fans and media quickly seized on the exchange. Tesehki responded on Instagram, denying she had initiated anything. She commented, “Naw, she tried to challenge this beast, Bigg Mama. I never heard of her until she mentioned me.”
Meanwhile, Shields clarified that she’d seen no sign of Tesehki at the BET event, pushing back on rumors of an awkward encounter.
In addition to the social media fireworks, Shields’s resume aired loud and clear. A two-time Olympic gold medalist and undisputed champion across five weight classes, she boasts an unblemished 16‑0 boxing record and recently secured all four major heavyweight titles.
Beyond the theatrics, Shields is making a statement: she’s not ducking anyone. By dangling a hefty purse, she adds serious stakes. “I wish I had $100k with me I can just throw it on the table,” she said, emphasizing a challenge meant to be taken seriously.
The offer is more than hype. Her next fight is already scheduled: July 26 at Detroit’s Little Caesars Arena, where she’ll defend her undisputed heavyweight crown against Lani Daniels.
This $100K challenge serves as a disclaimer: Shields wants any confrontation to be public and authentic. “No online theatrics, just action.” That seems to be her policy.
