Oop! Claressa Shields Responds After Laila Ali Drops Price Tag On Potential Boxing Match

UNITED STATES, JUL 14 – Laila Ali says she would consider boxing comeback only if offered $15 to $20 million, reigniting rivalry with Claressa Shields amid ongoing public exchanges.

  • On July 11 at Madison Square Garden, Ali, 47, made it clear she’d return only if offered $15–$20 million, fueling fight talks with Shields.
  • Having not fought since 2007, Laila Ali, daughter of Muhammad Ali, hasn’t entered the ring in 18 years and has exchanged verbal jabs with Shields since 2019.
  • The current multi-division champion, Claressa Shields, responded on X, `I’m the GREATEST NOW!` and warned `at 175 I’ll put you on your back!`
  • Revived chatter in 2025 that matchup isn’t far-fetched, as Saudi promoter Turki Alalshikh’s history of funding major bouts sparks renewed interest.
