Claressa Shields slams Gervonta Davis with Ryan Garcia insult after boxer’s ‘French bulldog’ remark

Shields is widely considered to be the most lethal fighter in women’s boxing with a 14-bout undefeated record, including two KOs.

The Baltimore native surprised many by appearing to stand up for Garcia, the former rival he fought and stopped in April 2023. The American fighter tested positive for ostarine before his win over Devin Haney, but escaped a positive test for another banned substance.

And he made an ugly jibe at Shields, who had criticized Garcia failing his doping test, attacking the way she looked.

“So Ryan beat buddy a** fair and square… what the french bulldog lady (Claressa) have to say about?” Davis wrote on X. “And she blocked me. I shoulda blocked her a** for the way she look… she scare me”.

But Davis should know that if you take a swing for the Queen, you better not miss. Shields came back firing and fuming in equal measure, appearing to accuse Davis of allegedly ‘beating up’ women he is interested

“I am so happy that you think I look like a French bulldog and consider me ugly, because you beat up b**** that you consider cute,” Shields said. “I’m glad I’m ugly to you. Go win some belts. You standing up here Tweeting. If you that lonely, go and find you some friends.

“Oh, I want to ask you a question. Why are you on Ryan’s d*** so hard? ‘Oh, Ryan’s test just came back and he wasn’t dirty.’ He ain’t even tested the B-sample yet.

“Why are you so worried about Devin Haney’s business? What is wrong with you, boy? Ain’t you supposed to be focusing on your fight?

The 29-year-old from Michigan finished off her rant with an explanation for Davis ducking top opponents – and insists he would be nowhere without the influence of Floyd Mayweather Jr.

“If you didn’t have Floyd holding your hand, I don’t know where you would be at. “He’s got to hold your hand and pick your fights for you,” she added. “That’s why you’re never going to get inside the ring with Shakur. That’s why you haven’t fought Devin. That’s why you fought a weight-drained Ryan.”
