Claressa Shields had plenty to say after videos showed a heated weigh-in with her upcoming opponent, Franchon Crews-Dezurn. The champion boxer even joked about being disrespected while wearing her “Faith Evans” wig. Meanwhile, social media is cracking up after Papoose stood ten toes down in front of his lady during the incident, even letting off a few words for the other side!
Claressa and Franchon Crews-Dezurn popped out in Detroit on Saturday for their weigh-in. Their fight is going down tomorrow night at the city’s Little Caesars Arena, but the ladies brought the heat to the weigh-in. Standing face to face in their fur coats, the videos show the boxers getting close enough for their foreheads to touch! That only lasted a few seconds, though, as Claressa Shields shoved Franchon back a few steps.
From the clip, Shields had her face scrunched up, yelling over a sea of people between them who were trying to calm the heat! The boxers didn’t get close after that.
Within hours of the incident, Claressa Shields hopped on social media to clear the air, accusing Franchon Crews-Dezurn of attempting to throw their fight. In a tweet, she wrote, “Who TF head butts someone at weigh in!!!! Damn right she got pushed! She’s trying to throw the fight.” Additionally, in a livestream, Shields claimed that she’s been “so professional all this time,” even slapping on her Faith Evans’ wig for the event! She shared a “lesson” for all the female boxers: don’t ever in your *MF* life walk up on the GWOAT to head butt her—those were her words. Also, Shields said that when Fronchon walked up to her, the brim hit her on the head, and she let it slide.
“If you don’t get the hell up off me,” Claressa said. She also popped off on someone named Glenn, accusing him of trying to get involved and warning that Papoose would’ve “knocked his a** out.” She added, “My baby would’ve torn your a** up.”
