Olympic gold medalist boxer, multiple-time world champion and soon to be mixed martial artist Claressa Shields had a stern warning for YouTube star, rapper and professional boxer Jake Paul.

Paul has been one of the biggest names in combat sports the last few weeks as he earned a viral KO over NBA point guard Nate Robinson during the co-main event of Triller’s Mike Tyson vs. Roy Jones Jr. “The Problem Child” is 2-0 as a professional boxer and has challenged the biggest names in combat sports, including UFC’s Conor McGregor, Jorge McGregor and Ben Askren.

Another name he recently mentioned was Shields (10-0 boxing). On December 8, Paul went on a Twitter tirade, challenging the likes of President Donald Trump, President-Elect Joe Biden and Kanye West to a fight. He then tweeted, “Don’t get me started about @Claressashields.”

“T-Rex” snapped back, replying to Paul’s tweet. She wrote, “Let’s get started, you can whoop my a** right?”

T-Rex then seemingly took aim at Paul’s music career and hair color.  Shields continued, “Lol oh @jakepaul trust me, you don’t wanna f with me, fake Eminem.”
