Wake that ass up in the morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, Jess is on maternity leave. So we have Lauren LaRosa with us this morning. And we got a special guest in the building. The champ is here. Clarissa Shields, ladies and gentlemen. What's up, champ? Hey, y'all. How you feeling?

I feel good. Thank y'all for having me here. Listen, Clarissa came in here with a suitcase. I said, are you flying out after this? She said, no, this is all my belts. That's right. I strapped up. She said, I can't carry all of my belts. This is only three of them you got up here.

Four. Four. Uh-huh. I got 15 of them, though. 15 of them. Yeah. Damn. How does it feel winning world championships in five different weight classes?

You just won your fourth and fifth world title. How does it feel? You know, it feels good. You know, it feels good to even more like shut the haters up they always been hating for a long time and i keep proving them that i am the greatest woman of all time can't none of these girls whoop me none of them had no weight class only you and uh roy jones jr have won the middleweight and heavyweight championships in over a century yeah have you really stopped to think about how historic that is?

No, see, I'm like, I'm a little emotional, so I get to crying and stuff. So I don't let myself do that. But it's a big deal. And I got more fish to fry because I want to be undisputed at heavyweight too. What keeps you in that mode, though, where you're like, I got more fish to fry? Because you accomplished so much. What keeps you motivated?

Well, I think I stay motivated because i'm young and it's always like somebody like a girl saying that she can beat me and when a girl say that it'd be like well i know the feeling you know i want you to i want to give you a try and i actually love fighting so um i just got the biggest knockout of my career about two weeks ago but I had been working so hard for that. Like I had been beating these girls unanimously, dropping them, winning 90 to 100, you know, 90 to 101, 2. Now it's like I finally like, you know, put somebody to sleep. And it was like, that's what I want to do in all my fights.

People really still think they can beat you? Seriously. But you talk about the top. They got to come at her like that, right? I think that they think that but they don't really feel that you know like people just be talking

because when I whenever I come with the smoke to somebody then they they energy switch up like oh no that ain't what I meant like no that's what you meant

and I want you to stand on it you think people support women's boxing a lot more now you see more and more people at the fights it's more on television people talking about it more or do you feel like

you still got a long way to go nah nah nah I'm making million dollar paydays uh turkish ali know who i am he want to do a fight oh wow um i got a movie coming out about my life the fire inside december 25th women's boxing is getting this just due are we uh oh more of%. But right now my price is a million, and hopefully I can get it to $5 million, $10 million, $15 million, $20 million, and maybe one day fight for a million dollars like Floyd Mayweather did. You know what was so interesting about the fight? Most people seem like they get a little slow when they move up in weight.

Yeah. I feel like your hands was faster. Oh, my God. I was showing my man the punch because I was watching the fight live, and I was watching it real live, and I was showing my man the punch because I was watching the fight live and I was watching it real live and I was showing my dude, my trainer, because he didn't see one of the punches you threw. I'm like, no, you had to watch this punch that dropped her. And he was like, God damn, she was fast. It feel like you got quicker.

You know what? The girl was punching at me so fast and it was like, hey, I am coming up from middleweight so don't get it confused like i'm like i don't even want to get hit by her in here so when she ran up on me and tried to sneak me after the ref broke us and she ran up on me i was like whoa she was swinging so hard if you would have felt them punches you would have felt disrespected yeah i felt the wind coming across my head and then before i knew it i firing back. Damn. And then she was going down. But shout out to Shakur Stevenson because I sent him my sparring. When I sparred against this guy up in Atlanta, his name is Demetrius.

And I called him the bear. He was 190 pounds, and I sparred against him. And I sent Shakur to sparring because Demetrius had roughed me up. And he said, sis, you got to use your frames more. So when you see the punch after I knocked her down the first time, and then I ran back up on her again and I turned her, that's called a frame.

So I framed her out and lined her up with the right hand. And that's all due to Shakur because he literally sent me a video and everything like this, what you need to be doing when somebody is crowding your space and you need to line them up for your shot.

So shout out to my brother, for sure. I love that. Do more boxers do that? Where it was like, yo, let me run this by you look at this training what could i do better what can i do worse what what should i be doing to make myself be able to be a better boxer you know i do that and i only share my sparring clips with um shakur and terrence crawford like i don't really send my sparring clips out to nobody like to get feedback from i feel like terrence crawford and shakur are better boxers than me you know i'm saying i feel like uh shakford and Shakur are better boxers than me. You know what I'm saying? I feel like

Shakur, skill-wise, you know what I'm saying? Shakur feel like I got attributes that he want, and he has attributes that I want. So I just kind of go back and forth with him. Terrence has that patience that I've been wanting for so long. I don't have too much patience in the ring. I go out

the first round like, let's scrap. And it's like, Terrence, he'll go in there patient the first two or three rounds in the end sleep you the fifth round so did you see buzz last fight what did you think yeah um i seen it i thought that um madrid off was an awkward fighter yep you know i thought he was very awkward all that bouncing i think that um also too like i don't think that Terrence has fully settled into the 154 division like he has to that was his first fight I think his second fight he'll know how to prepare better for a guy of that size because even for me how I got roughed up in sparring was I wasn't used to the body width like this dude is 190 and the girl I'm going to be fighting against is coming in she's going going to come in at 190, but it's a bigger body.

It's bigger arms. And it's a different game plan. So I think that Terrence did what he had to do. I've seen him win in a fight clearly, but a match with Dolph, he wasn't no pushover. And just because he had 10 fights didn't mean he was no pushover. That's how I be feeling about you. You 15-0, right?

Yeah, three knockouts. But it feels like you've had more fights. I don't know why. I do MMA. The MMA. Okay, okay, okay. Yep, yep. Two and one.

I should be 3-0. I thought I won that fight. But you know what? At the end of the day, if I was to spend a year, two years, just practicing MMA, I would watch all them girls. Are you done with MMA? no I think I got one more fight with them one more fight and then they may come with a new contract

but in a way it's so weird like I be telling myself not to say it because anything I speak it always come true but I I want to take off a year and a half two years of boxing and spend it on nothing but MMA and I want to fight in a year and a half, two years of boxing and spend it on nothing but MMA.

And I want to fight in a PFL tournament and become PFL world champion at the same time as being boxing champion. And I always get mad at myself because it's like, girl, MMA is not your thing. You know, like you're a great fighter. You love fighting, but MMA is not your thing, you know. It's actually harder than boxing to me. But I still find a way to beat these girls up you're always moving up in weight classes like you said you just you did mma do you do that because there's not enough competition for you in women's boxing no it's plenty of competition

these girls are scary you know what i mean like listen i told the girls at 47 and 54 y'all put y'all belts up and y'all want to fight against me. I will get my fat ass down there with y'all. I will lose the weight. But it got to make money and it got to make sense. But to go to 47, which I haven't fought at yet, to go there would make me a six-time division world champ. But I ain't just finna go there just to say I went there. You think you'll lose your power if you drop down that much? I think it depends on how I lose the weight. I have a great nutrition team. Shout out to say I went there. Do you lose your power if you drop down that much? I think it depends on how

I lose the weight. I have a great nutrition team. Shout out to Perfecting Athletes. I've been working with them for so many years. People was telling me that I couldn't make 154. And my nutritionist was like, actually, Clarissa, you can make 147. I'm like, y'all a lie. Y'all a lie.

But they was like, but if you only want to go down to 154, that's what we get you down to. And they, and they got me down there two or three times. How hard is that to make like certain weights? I don't know. It's very hard. I mean, you look like you naturally skinny or whatever.

Yeah, I am. You know, but people in my family are not. Okay. Like if I didn't work out, I'd be big as a house. I mean, your shape is great, but I don't know. That probably doesn't like, does that affect you? Like having that family history? I don't know that probably doesn't like does that affect you like having that family history I don't know what you're eating is like

like is it certain times are you like man I just wish I could just do a burger today and chill well it's it's a thing of like one I'm trying to build a healthy relationship with food

because of my family history but for me I've been an athlete my whole life so I've lost 35 pounds for a fight within seven but for me I've been an athlete my whole life so I've lost 35 pounds for a fight within seven weeks oh you know I've lost 40 pounds but I do that because I'm extra locked in on my goal now I just tell myself not to get so heavy do I have to lose all that weight but if I was to go down to 47 it would be hard and it consists of a lot of greens grains protein, protein, and water. You know, people think that you're supposed to eat less and drink less when you're losing weight.

And it's actually the complete opposite. You know, I still can eat four times a day with portioned meals and drink a gallon of water a day, or even a gallon and a half when I'm losing weight. So it's not really a thing of people go down to those weight classes and they're starving themselves. My nutrition team don't let me do that. They're like, look, you've got to eat. Even when I'm not hungry, they're like, you've got to force yourself to eat. Like my stomach is getting smaller.

I may eat the meat. They're like, no, you need to eat the vegetables and eat the grains. So I have a very strict nutrition team, and they're like, this is what we have to do. So once they tell me what we have to do, I do that. They do their job and I do my job which is train and get prepared for the fight because rather, no matter

what weight I'm at, it's still my job to fight and then of course to win. Do you always watch your food? Because I've seen you in Shreveport. There wasn't too many healthy options out in Shreveport. Do they travel with you? That's a lot of fried food in Shreveport. No, like I'm off of fighting right now. I just won two weeks ago, so I can eat what I want.

So you eat what you want, all right. I went to Orlando. Shout out to them. You went to Orlando's out in Shreveport. Oh, my God. Oh, I love that place. Wasn't that... What the best food I done had in a minute.

You was 175 for the last fight, though, right? Yeah. I read that you gained 15 pounds of muscle. I did. I actually got up to... From my weight class where I was at, I got up to 180, and I had to lose 5 pounds to get back down to 75. But all the weight that I gained was, man, it was nuts. I was squatting 250 pounds, benching 185 pounds, like hitting it,

one, two, and 185 is heavy. I mean, I ain't going to say it's heavy for a woman but i remember when it was time when i couldn't even hit 135 so to be able to hit 135 10 12 times and then go up to 50 and to be able to do 185 twice i was like god dang i'm scared of myself yes that's me you said something earlier too you said you're trying to build a healthy relationship with food yeah is that because you came from a place where they had all these food deserts and they didn't have the best food options? Is that what that was?

That's why? No. Diabetes and heart problems run in my family. Yeah, yeah. So I just don't want to deal with that. You know, I'm hoping that genetically when I have my kids that they don't have to deal with that. So I want to be as healthy as I can be so it don't pass down to them.

Like I have a leg disease. Like, I don't have any cartilage around my patella. Really? So it can pop out all the time. What the hell you doing MMA for? Somebody go to them knees. Hey, it doesn't happen, you know? But the doctor just told me that, what, I dislocated my knee in 2019,

and he x-rayed, and he said, I'm surprised it hasn't popped out more because, you know, you don't have no bone around it. And I was like, really? I'm like, it's never happened to me. He's like, you never, like, made a false step and it went to pop out? I'm like, nah, this just happened. Well, maybe you shouldn't have said that. So now your opponent will be like, I'm going right for the knees. The opponent's going to get hit right in the mouth Oh, I'm gonna get here right name off. Okay

When you be fighting right like your last fight you said she was coming at you How hard is it to not resort back to just the street like just thinking? Oh, I'm being attacked brawling just focusing and doing what she called told you to do or what you've been trained to do I'm a natural- street fighter like i street fight better than i box that's why i'm telling these girls in the streets you do not want to mess with me in the streets like like i fight to kill like nah um i got the same mindset inside the ring and outside the ring when it when it comes to a fight and that's to what is that to dismantle you to get you off me to to the fight. I got the same mentality

in boxing, MMA, and street fighting. It really doesn't change for me. Now, up in a street fight, it's win at any means necessary. If I got to hit you upside your head with a brick, I will. But don't ever think

I'm coming into no fight at a disadvantage. You're not just out here fighting in the streets. Girl, I got on the first time you dressed, girl. You crazy? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I don't need to be out in a street fight. Girl, I got on the first time you dressed girls, you crazy. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I don't need to be out street fighting.

You gotta pay me the back to fight. As long as, okay. Cause the way you said it made it sound a little recent. I'm like, it's no way. That was old Christmas. You did have to pull up on a troll though. No, the troll put up on me. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

See now that's different. Somebody pull up on you. You got like, why would you pull up on her? This the thing. When I was in Atlanta training at Hicksville Gym, I had these two coaches, Coach Carl and Coach Ty, find me sparring. I don't know much about Atlanta. I was just doing my first training camp there. So I told them I only spar against men.

So they got me two men. And then for some reason, they got her. They didn't know that she was a troll and she ain't making no to them either. So she had been fucking with you all along. She knew what she was doing. Oh, what? Talking trash since December. If I show you the DM, you be like this crazy, like this girl talking about something. B, I'm gonna knock you

out. B, you a bum. You only got what you got because I went to prison for three years and I beat all the girls who you beating the pros and the amateurs. I'm like, what is wrong with this girl? So I told her, like, look, this address in my gym in Flint. Come to Flint and I'll work with you.

And then all of a sudden, she's like, F working. I was like, I want to fight. I'm like, you're not even pro. But come to find out, she was zero. She's zero and zero on box rec. So she's a professional fighter. But she, I came to the gym getting ready to spar, and she in the gym warming up.

I'm like, oh, my God. Oh, she was ready for action. I said, this is how you, first of all, I got almost a million followers on social media, on Instagram. Right. How can I recognize you out of a million people? That means you did way too much. That's how I recognize just you.

That's right. You're right. So when I seen I said this is girl and I walk up she and then I walk up I'm like what you doing here she like you know what I came here for me he said yeah I said no you're not he said yes I am I said I think I caught her to be worried and I said you know I no you're not he said yes i am i said i think i called her to beware and i said you know i'm you know i'm about to fuck you up right she just looking at me and then she got the yelling popping stuff just talking talking talking and everybody was like chris just go get dressed i'm like i'm gonna give you one round she was like tried to leave grab her a suitcase oh i don't want one round i need two rounds i'm like you're not gonna last past the first one i'm telling you i'm telling you that now.

Never seen a girl fight a day in my life. I just knew. Man, you talking to the pound for pound best woman fighter in the world. You think you can do anything with me? You crazy. I went and got dressed. I told her, I said, yeah, I'll give you two rounds. Went in there, 30 seconds, over.

Yeah, one of them punches, i think she realized she was in over the first one probably hit her she's like whoa all right no more dms actually when i hit her i jumped at her and she got the bounce and she said come on with it i said i am just hold on and then soon she got right by that corner it was over i hit her with a body shot too i think she kind of went to the bathroom a little bit. Damn. Yeah. So you never heard from her again in your DMs, huh?

No, she wrote me. She wrote me. The attitude was different, though, right? Attitude had to be different. She said, you only landed two shots. I'm like, oh, OK. I laughed at her. I'm like, you crazy for sure.

And then she was like, why you untag me on a post? I said, because you reported my video. I'm trying to get my Instagram to get out. No. She was like, no, I didn't do that. I said, yes, you did. You're the only person who I tagged. I know you reported my video.

So that's why I untagged you. I'm like, but go on Worldstar. Like, they didn't tag you, but you can tag yourself in the comments because your dumb ass made Worldstar. Damn. What means more to you, but you can tag yourself in the comments because your dumb ass made world star. Damn. What means more to you, being a world champion in five different weight classes or winning two Olympic gold medals? Ooh, wow.

Wow, shout out to me. Why you do that? Because I saw somebody ask Carmelo Anthony the same thing. You know what? Shout out to mellow honestly like none of this would be possible without my purse what about another belt that limpid metals in the purse wow epic why do you carry it's purse? You ain't lying. Can I hold it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's heavy.

Heavy as hell. Wow. Can I see the other one? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, wow. They asked Melo what means more. Like, would he trade his three medals for an NBA championship? What?

That's what they asked him. Well, honestly, like, none of this would be possible without me winning the Olympics. Right. You know? that's what they asked him well honestly like none of this would be possible without me winning the Olympics you know like me being a world champ and all these different weight classes it all started with winning the Olympics at 17

2012 and then it continued with 2016 so I feel like if I wasn't a two time Olympic champion and I was trying to turn pro without my two Olympic gold medals

it would have been super hard for me because when I fought on TV, 2016 or 17, a woman hadn't fought on TV in 20 years. Wow. Like a woman boxer hadn't fought on TV in 20 years.

So it just like, I, yeah, I got the, I got to be the one to change the game, but I wouldn't have been able to get the opportunity. I think even though as being a great, as a boxer, as I am, if I wouldn't have been able to get the opportunity, I think, even though as being a great, as a boxer as I am, if I didn't have

the accolades, the two Olympic gold medals to back it up. What do you think about the Olympics controversy this year? Oh my God. Talking about Ameen Khalif, the Algerian boxer. Yeah. She's a woman, but she tested with XY chromosomes? Yes. Something crazy like that.

You know what? Honestly, I hate that they tested with XY chromosomes? Yes. Something crazy like that. You know what? Honestly, I hate that they ran with the whole transgender thing and they did what they did to her in the Olympics because I couldn't imagine me being in the Olympics and me getting ready to fight and people are like, oh, you're a man. Like, I couldn't imagine that. And this is like supposed to be the most exciting time of her life.

So everybody had misinformation, and I think that she's right to sue whoever started the whole thing. Like I heard she's suing Elon Musk and somebody else. Yeah, girl, get that money. And she got a gold medal too, so hey, congrats to her. But to the girl who like, oh, she hit me harder than I've ever been hit before, soft. Damn.

Soft. Hang it up. You shouldn't been hit before. Soft. Damn. Soft. Hang it up. You shouldn't even be in the ring. Damn. I spar against men. I ain't never been hit that hard where I'm like, let me get the hell out of here. Ever. And I've been hit to where I couldn't chew for three days.

With like a hook. So I'm like, I still didn't get out the ring. Like, man, yeah, he hit me so hard. I just, what? That's soft. Would you fight her? If the money was right? Who?

Iman Khalifa. DJ, who you talking to? You talking to me? You saying, would I fight her? Yes, ma'am. Would she fight me? Oh, you're right. What?

Come on now, stop playing. If the money was right, so you would do it. If the money wasn't right, what are you talking about? Because you know she's lost like nine times. Oh, you're down because she got an X, Y, whatever. She was born a woman. She's a woman. A woman can't beat me? What?

That's crazy. Would you fight her? Yo. That's crazy. I wouldn't fight you. That ain't stupid. I say line them up from what I've seen her box and I'm like, she couldn't beat the 17-year-old Claressa no matter what weight. I think she's like a 147, 140. Please.

You're too crazy. Do you still want to fight a male boxer? Some of them. They be running their mouth. I still want to put my hands on a few of them. Yeah. Who in particular? Keith Thurman.

I want to punch him in his mouth. And I don't care what y'all say. Jake Paul cannot beat me in no fight. Stop it. Did y'all watch the Jake Paul cannot beat me in no fight. Stop it. Did y'all watch the fight with Mike Perry? Skills pay the bills. And Mike Perry was not skilled at all. He all grit and muscle.

Jake Paul, he... I said this before. I got Clarissa over Jake Paul. Man, come on, man. I don't care what y'all say. I got Clarissa over Jake Paul. So you definitely don't think he's going to beat Tyson then? Tyson 58.

See, this what made me mad with y'all. This not an 18-year-old Tyson, 21, 30. This is 58. Yeah, he don't get no scraps if he beat Mike Tyson. He probably got like a good one, two, three good rounds in him. And if he don't knock Jake Paul out, then what? I'm going to have to fight Jake Paul for real. He hurt Uncle Mike Tyson.

I'm not even kidding. I'm coming in the ring. I support that. What? I'm going to be right front row. Don't Jake got a woman fighter too? I can't remember her name. Somebody, a woman that be fighting on the ring?

She already said no woman can beat her. Ah, see? We not going to. Amanda Serrano is her name. Yeah, yeah, yeah. She thinks she quote 2.0, but she's the real deal, Amanda Serrano. Seven-time division world champ. Great fighter.

Great fighter. I have a lot of respect for her. Is she a better fighter than me? No. No. But Jake Paul tries to call her the quote, and that's because he don't like me. But I'm going to keep shining on him and showing him like you got baby quote big quote over here yeah is that a fight that'll ever happen or is

if she want to come to 47 and 54 yeah what's she in now 40 40 okay she went she came all the way from like 118 112 and got all the titles from like 118 what is it I think it's 118 122 126 130 135

140 yeah if I got it right why he don't like you just cause you be telling him you a woman yeah and I said

I would never fight on an undercard with him he not a world champion how you mad at that he not an ex world champion either you not finna have to go fight on an undercard

no damn Jake Paul I don't care how big he is or how many fans you got. No. That's because you're an actual boxer. So you respect the sport. I'm an actual champion. Champion, yeah. I don't even think Amanda Serrano should be fighting an undercard in him, but

that's her choice. Amanda Serrano wasn't really that big until she got with Jake Paul. So I think she's super grateful for him. But in real life, in real time, you're a seven-time division world champion. He's not. You should always be the top of the bill to show like that respect to the sport.

But hey, if she like being on the undercard, go ahead. But I'm not being on the undercard of nobody, but champions, you know, champions. And that's Terrence Crawford, Shakur Stevenson, Devin Haney, guys like that. Canelo,

Usyk. I'm not being on the card of no Jake Paul. Who you got in the Shakur, Javante Davis fight? Come on, man. You don't know me already? I got Shakur. Where, where, where? I got, it's not

Tank see this is what I want people to understand I'm not I'm not a Tank hater people think that I am because we had our little dispute or whatever

but no I love how Tank box the dude got power he explosive he fast the dude he the full package I just think that Shakur

is a better boxer. Now, would Shakur have to be on his A game to beat Gervonta? Yes. I grew up, I came up in the amateurs with Gervonta. When we were like silver gloves and all that stuff together. He used to get outboxed in the amateurs. You know what I'm saying? But he was always a powerhouse, always the strongest, always explosive.

But guys could still beat him i think shakur has a style to be him and people are and and shakur is tougher than what everybody giving him credit for shakur is a hell of a boxer and i don't it'd be a tough fight for both of them but i think that's the core will come out on top especially if he can avoid getting hit and make them pay that's what i've been talking to Shakur about. Yeah, you make them miss, but make these dudes pay when they miss. Nobody should be swinging at you and then nothing coming back. These guys should be getting tatted up.

So I feel like if he can do that good versus Javante, I feel like he can win. But, man. If Javante touch him, though, that's the biggest thing. Well, I mean, you got to touch him more than once, too. Shakur got chin. Wayne never seen Shakur get dropped you got chances immaculate that's why people say he's a boring fighter I'm like nah he's just a defensive fighter yeah but defense is he max I don't know what everybody was

talking about at the fight up in Jersey but I had a great time I was in a second row I was like doing like live commentating from the out. Listen, he was whooping that dude and then when the dude got on his wheels, I was screaming. Word, word. Because all the time I should have been

on his wheels. Now he back at home boy up and got him running and ain't nobody giving Shakur no props. Come on, but he ain't knock him out. So,

he beat him up. That's right. What about Canelo Berlanga? What's your thoughts? Hmm. Uh, I wish Canelo was fighting against Benavidez. Yeah, I don't think that. Berlanga is a strong fighter, and he's a good fighter, and he's my friend.

I just think that he don't have enough experience to be in there with somebody. What is it, Canelo 50 and something? Yeah, I don't know. I think that Berlanga is young and stuff, but I think his experience is going to be his downfall in that fight. But he can't use his youth and try to come out there strong and hard and push the fight early and maybe get Canelo tired to where his power don't be that effective.

But, no, I think Canelo is going to do that. But I want to see Canelo versus Benavidez. That's the fight I want to see. You sound like you got your text ready to send Berlanga after the fight. Like, keep your head up when one door closes, another one opens. Nah, I actually don't. It's for you. Yeah.

When they hit you with that, you know. You know. All right. Thank you. Nah, I just know, like, some fights, it just be a long car ride home and silent. Dang. And I think, you know, he may have to experience that.

But hopefully he got some good people around him where it's good with a little ride, put some music on and stuff. You know, I was looking at Box Raw, and they had you as the number two greatest women's boxer of all time behind. Box Rick? No, Box Raw. BoxRaw.com. Oh, okay, okay.

Yeah, behind Lucia Richker. Riker? Riker, I'm sorry. Okay. You know, I don't even know. I've never heard of Lucia Riker. Lucia Richker. Riker? Riker. I'm sorry. Okay. You know, I don't even know. I've never heard of Lucia Riker. Lucia Riker. She was 17 and 0, 14 KO.

Yeah, yeah. Lucia Riker was back in the day. She's not a better fighter than me. But, I mean, it's not a bad place to be number two to her, I guess. She's one of my favorite female fighters. What do you think you would have to do for them to put you at number one? I don't even care. It's a list of somebody who made it up,

who probably never boxed before. I don't know. But I know as far as in me, you watch Lucia tape and you watch my tapes and you watch all the other girls' tapes and you look and you see what i can do and what they can do and i believe that i come out on top every time if you're looking at it from a boxing standpoint now if you're looking at it like my my personality or my trash talk or all that

stuff then maybe you're like oh yeah she's not ladylike let me make her numbers down whatever but if you're looking at it from just boxing standpoint, I box like, I box so good that Terrence called me twin. So that's the difference. Word, word. Yeah. People get at you about, like, your personality and your energy and all that because I love it. You talk heavy.

People be, you know, everybody can't talk like how I talk, and I definitely can't back it up. So I think it comes off to be intimidating to them, and they wish that they can be like me but does it heighten in the ring like do you have an alter ego or is it like oh yeah what you mean claresta right now but clarenzo is who i am inside the ring yeah clarenzo do not play like i start transforming in a locker room actually like the week of the fight so Clarenzo be trying to come out sometime and then like

my assistant be like Clarenzo chill out I'm like alright my bad my bad like Clarenzo is uh actually maybe maybe Clarenzo is like a Iman Khalifa you know it's not I don't say that Clarenzo is a man I don't say that Clarenzo is a woman

it's just a person who I get inside the ring and I'm just myself so I don't really put like a gender on I don't know if that's weird but I get what you're saying yeah I just don't put a gender on I just go in there and inside the ring I can be who I really want to be I don't have to you know be

nobody else or I think it's actually hard for me to be nice because so many people get on my nerves and I'm always having to be nice to them what you mean what gets on your life you mean what in life people get on my nerves I don't I don't like you're the nicest person ever people yes I am but it's just like I do have to keep the peace honestly like some stuff I'd be like Chris you just let it go don't even say nothing because as soon as somebody do honestly. Some stuff, I'd be like, Chris, just let it go. Don't even say nothing because as soon as somebody do something I don't like, I'd be like, hold on.

I got to check you right then and there. I can't wait till tomorrow or the moment. I got to get you right then and there. And people be, with this whole business, you got to be professional and kind of keep it cool. And that's actually like, it'd be hard for me to do. Do you feel like you have to do that because you're a woman fighter?

Because I don't... I have to do that because I'm a professional. And also too, like I hurt people's feelings. Like as you can see, I don't bite my tongue or nothing like that.

And I don't even want to bite my tongue. It is what it is. When did the T-Rex come out? Hmm? When did the T-Rex come out when did the T-Rex come out they still call you

T-Rex right it's the quote now okay so you know you don't you don't even use the T-Rex nickname okay okay but people still

call me that 50 called me that he called me that and Clarissa Shields now I met 50 in Shreveport that was the first time you met

so I met 50 here at the Barclays. It was a fight going on. But, he just saw me and was like, T-Rex? And I was like,

50 Cent? But I wasn't able to get no picture. I wasn't really able to holler at him. You know what I'm saying? I was able to actually talk to him and holler at him

up in Shreveport. So, I'm happy that he followed me from then till now. Gotcha. And you have a biopic coming up a real movie it ain't no Tubi shit

it's called The Fire Inside it's directed by Barry Jenkins it stars Ryan Destiny how did that all come about I don't know that's crazy they saw the movie T-Rex my documentary which was very raw and it's me i'm being followed

around at school to the olympics and my one loss and my home life so they saw that and they wanted to redo that but in a movie way um so who saw it barry jenkins i think barry jenkins saw yes and uh at the time first Universal Studios picked it up. Then with COVID and everything happened, MGM Studios picked it up. Wow. So that's what we have the movie now. It dropped on Christmas. All over theaters in the world, actually.

Not just the USA. But, man, it's crazy. So they were asking me who I thought should play me. I thought Nafisa Williams should play me. That's my sis. Yeah, like. I love her. I love her.

Same here. So I thought she should play me. But then they're like, oh, we did her. We did Ryan Destiny. We did a few others. And I was just hoping. I was just like, I don't want to be a Kiki Palmer. It's not that I don't like Kiki Palmer.

It's just that she plays in every sports movie when it's a woman. So I'm like, not Kiki Palmer. That's all I was thinking. But I don't want to be a Kiki Palmer. It's not that I don't like Kiki Palmer. It's just that she plays in every sports movie when it's a woman. So I'm like, not Kiki Palmer. That's all I was thinking. But I didn't say that. If it would have been her, I would have been just as happy. But I don't think anybody could have portrayed me better than Ryan Destiny. She's from Detroit. Dark skin, like me.

Great skin. Very nice person. Beautiful. How much time did she have to spend with you we spent a lot of time on facetime when she was doing like her scenes and stuff she would call me like hey i'm doing this scene it got me and your mom in it like can you explain to me well how your relationship was she said because from my knowledge it was like this i'm like no relationship was like this and she's like okay okay um she had to train

boxing for about a year because I told them whatever y'all do do not play with my boxing please don't if if I see this film in my and her boxing is bad y'all might as well go ahead and wrap it up and they were like oh no well right I well, I said, have her train. Get her ready. And they got her ready. She trained with the guy who was it for Black Panther, who trained the people for Black Panther. So that's what she trained with. I don't know his name.

Sorry. But that's what she told me she trained with. And he got her together. When you see the film, you're going to be like, wow. And they did a great job with the storytelling and everything. Shout out to Barry jenkins i spent no joke barry won an oscar barry did moonlight bill street barry no joke i spent a lot of time with him we talked for like three four hours and he was like so tell me about your life story or what do you want to be portrayed and i did i told him and man did he, he did a better job than I ever could have explained my story.

The only thing that I didn't like, one thing, I've been whooping these boys since I was 11 years old. I ain't lying to you. The first time I sparred, I bust the boy up. They got in a movie at the beginning where it shows me as a young girl in the gym with all boys, which was true. But it showed me in the gym where I think I got beat up or something. Or like a boy was taking it easy on me and he was there to beat me up.

Never happened. Never happened. Never happened. No. Only thing that didn't happen. How did they explain that to you? We got to do this for the story. Dramatic effect.

I just, that was, they spin on it. But I said, you guys have to know that I've been dominant in boxing since I started. I've always known how to fight. I didn't know how to box. But when I channel my anger to my boxing, everything turned out good. Is there one person that beat you as a kid that you'd be like, I got to go see him? Like, maybe when you were 10, 9. What you mean, I got to go see him?

I got to go fight him? Like, he beat you up when you were 9, 10. He'd be like, I need my get back No it's Savannah Marshall Beat me in the amateurs I was 77 wins One loss in the amateurs And I always told her

I'm gonna get you back And I got her back 10 years later I beat her for the Undisputed Championship In front of 2 million people Watching worldwide The most watched

Women's boxing fight Of all time And I beat her in front of 20,000 of her fans In the UK at the O2 Arena. It was a bittersweet feeling. Bittersweet. Only person ever beat you. Mm-hmm.

Yep. And the movie will be out Christmas. Uh-huh. Man, I can't wait to see that. I can't wait to see it too. Was it hard to watch? What? I was shook.

Just the whole time, I'm just like, what's going on? What's going on? And I'm looking at it. And Ryan's? What's going on? I'm looking at it and Ryan's playing me so good, but I'm looking at it's kind of like I have to relive all this stuff that I've I may have moved on from or that I'm not involved with anymore, you know? So watching

it, I'm like, dang, it was rough back then. We did have to go without this and that. We did, like this did happen, you know? You did win an Olympic gold medal and came back home to not one endorsement not one endorsement not one you didn't make no front covers or no magazines didn't get no endorsements um you got 50k for winning your gold medal you got a 50k bonus of being the only person to win a gold medal for team usa but you you didn't get. I came back to the same house.

I went to school. I didn't really have anything. Basically, I just had my gold medal and a little money I won, but in some Olympic clothes, but that's it. What was your first investment? Was it because you're black, a woman, bad representation? Which one? Combination of all three?

You know, when I think about it now, and I say this, you know, you know humbly i think about it now that it just wasn't my time you know i think that all i wanted to do would be a great boxer i didn't care about the image the look you know how you should wear your hair how you should talk what you should say what you shouldn't say say i only cared about winning the olympic gold medal that's why when i had my hair braided i left one braid out just my hair sticking up because i went through a fro like sugar ray leonard but the usa team would not allow it usa boxing they were like no y'all get your hair braided so when they got to the last breast leave it out i gotta feel like a beast somehow and um i think that I just didn't have people around me

that were knowledgeable of the whole image part of it. And it really didn't matter to me either. My only goal was to win the gold medal, and I did that. Now, going to my second Olympics, I had everything. I had magazine covers. I had endorsement deals, sponsorships. I had a lot of things going that I was able to carry on to the pros what was your first endorsement the first person that stepped up and said we want to do

business with you with the Dick's Sporting Goods I think with Dick's Sporting Goods and then I had a deal with Under Armour for their shoes I had a deal with Power 8 but Dick's was the first one to step up I think Dickix was the first one to step up? I think Dix was the first one to step up, yep. You're not going to pause that? Dix Sporting Goods. No, no, you don't got to pause that. He got to pause it.

He was like, Dix wasn't the first one to step up? Like, God damn. Jesus. You guys are sick. Now you got the Faces of Boxing podcast? Yeah. You got your partner in it too? Let me get that seat, Crystal.

Is that Michael? Yeah, so. your partner here too. Let me get that seat, Christy. Is that Michael? Yeah, so this is- He look like he ready to box. Let me work out. Put this right here. Yeah, so this is Karo. He from Atlanta. What's up, Karo? What's up, Karo?

What's popping? Charlamagne, you wear a hat. Yes, sir. Thank you, brother. I'm in this message too. Thank you, sir. One of the owners and co-hosts of the Face the Blocking Podcast TV, I actually gave him the floor.

We met in Atlanta during my training camp. This is one of the coaches that hooked me up with the sparring. Shout out to him for having Demetrius come, and that's the dude I called a bear that roughed me up. But we can both agree that toward the end of the camp, I was roughing Bear up. But I actually thank him for laying out the red carpet and being a huge part of my camp.

And now we're going to do some episodes together on the Face the Boxing Podcast TV. And, yeah, go and give him your spill. So I am Coach Karo out of Hitsfield Boxing Gym. It's where they know me at out in Atlanta, Georgia. If you're ever in Georgia, definitely stop by Hitsfield Boxing Gym. And shout out to all my partners, Brian, Byron, Manu Jones. Salute y'all because they opened the doors.

But I'll be honest with you. Man, the biggest door that got opened was the big quote herself. I just, you know, I stopped everything I was doing. I was training heavy because it dates back to 2017. I started my fitness company called greenhouse fitness and you know this is a company where i'm training celebrities i'm training athletes even exotic you know dancers in atlanta magic cities follies man i was known as the bbl trainer at one point they was looking at me like man you training all these girls with bbl that's

why they're so athletic in atlanta on them poles you training all these girls with BBL. That's why they so athletic in Atlanta, on them poles. Now they make all the feats in the world. You know, but to be honest, just because you got a BBL down on me, you can't work out. They still keep theyself in shape. So be grinding, you know, and I'm a family man. So married, kids, it get kind of hectic. So I'm like, look, let me transition back into my passion,

which was boxing since I was a kid. You know, my cousin, Cousin Butch, he's like 75 now. He used to spar with Ali's and the greatest. He just never made it. So in my situation, I said, let me get in boxing, but let me do it from the pad work side. Let me get into the coaching side. And it was just a beautiful thing.

So we start the gym, Hitchfield Boxing Gym. They give me the phone call. They say, look, Clarissa Shields, she want to come out to y'all gym, and she want to start her training camp in Atlanta for her big fight. And I said, huh, who? They said, Clarissa Shields. I said, all right, I'm dropping everything I'm doing, and I'm coming right to her aid with open arms, with big arms. I'm coming.

Big arms. I get on my nerves. So she come out, sat out Coach Ty. That's my dog, my brother. He put it all together, too. He got the sparring. One of my fighters, Demetrius, Big Bear, Demerite, he was the guy who I told him, go rough her up.

Push her, back her up against the ropes. You told him to go hard? I told him to go hard because I knew she was fighting a 12-round fight with a bigger woman. So in my mind, I'm like, bro, you're're gonna have to go hard on her and just push her he's pushing her against the ropes literally the whole fight the first time they sparred yep and but mind you she's doing the same thing bobbing weaving on the ropes so come fight night i'm knowing she's ready the same exact thing happened in the fight and sparring happened that's crazy in in the fight you want credit so bad but yes i'm like i said thank you all the time thank you for the sparring

thank you man i'm like i'm a genius because i knew this what she needed and she didn't back down she said no like tell me come on like i really want to fight him she didn't back she didn't not one time turn it down that's what i'm saying when they were talking about like all dudes be going easy and sparring it's like no nobody's job is to knock out their sparring partner but can't no dude get in the ring and just be like oh i'm about to take it easy on you gonna get beat up in there you better get in here and hit me you better get your respect because if you don't hey we're gonna try to hit you with everything clever so how did you find his gym like when they called him your backstory how did you find the gym like how did you know

like what made you guys reach out to him we they called him, your backstory, how did you find the gym? Like how did you know? Like what made you guys reach out to him? We met before. I can't remember exactly how we met. But we had met before. Andre Durrell. Shout out. Professional boxer, retired. Andre Durrell.

So he was actually, you know, my brother, my plug. And he's on a podcast too. So he's the guy who has the boxing knowledge for our podcast to make everybody tune in. And then i'm a co-founder and then my guy coach ray sitting back there he's also a co-founder and owner so they got coach ray they got a retired boxer andre durell who's now on the andre ward and andre burdo show they do a segment for you know all the fight or you know basically the uh all the smoke but it's the fight segment so with that being said that's how we got traction really with him.

So shout out Andre Durrell again. And he gave me the call. He said, my sis want to come down. Make sure you look out for her. And she had a great training camp media day. And that's where we brought the media in because she said, look, I see what y'all doing. Y'all got a great media team.

Y'all covering everything. I don't even have to tell y'all nothing. And I said, look, we got a podcast, The Faces of Boxing Podcast TV. Y'all covering everything. I don't even have to tell y'all nothing. And I said, look, we got a podcast, The Faces of Boxing Podcast TV. Y'all can also follow us on YouTube. Subscribe, like, comment. We need 1,000 subscribers. We at like 410.

We need 1,000 subscribers, so let's get it going. Definitely, definitely. So right now, go follow us on Instagram instagram too at the faces of boxing podcast tv and um pretty much like i say with this podcast is to bring the old fighters and the new fighters together because everybody want to know who's the face of boxing right and we know it's questionable they're gonna say canelo they're gonna say bud crawford they might say tank but guess what in a woman's faces of boxing is the big quote so it's like you can't just leave out the many different faces so that's why the name just stuck because everybody want to know who's

the face but guess what it's many different faces it is i train with professional fighters elijah pierce he has a fight in atlanta august 30th at the ote arena tito lopez and brian norman jr out of atlanta the wbo champ that y'all may not know right now, but he just got the strap because Crawford moved up. So now he's elevated to champ, and he fights at our gym. So the city is about to be lit. Atlanta is about to be lit. When she come back to State Farm Arena, we want to sell that joint out and have a big, crazy card.

And Atlanta is embracing her like no other. Like it's just the love is what all brought us together. It wasn't even about the money, the finances. It was about the legacy and the history supporting her in her journey. So that's really all it really been. But as far as the podcast, y'all salute it. And y'all definitely put a stamp on it. I appreciate y'all for having us.

Absolutely. Yep. How important is it for boxers to control their own narratives like that, like to have their own media platform? It's very important. You know, when I first turned pro i had two olympic gold medals and i think that my story was the angry black uh woman who was raped when she was a kid and she hate men and and now she had to learn how to fight to defend herself for men and she just hate everybody i had i had

a terrible image like and i didn't realize how terrible it was till I was winning all these fights and I had all these world titles and at the beginning and one of my fans was like I'm a little scared of you no like what you mean because like DJ Envy DJ Envy said I'm the nicest person ever the nicest every time I see y'all you're so nice you're so lovely take pictures with everybody. You speak to everybody. Most killers are auto. I do. You right. Most killers are auto. Nice. Nice. You right. No, so. She was upstairs in her room.

I was like, I'll bring Carissa down. I'm like, all right. She's down talking to people, taking pictures. Just the nicest person ever. Yeah, so that's how I've always been. But how I was portrayed, and I have to say, it was Showtime that was portraying, because they had all this stuff.

They were the ones putting out the videos. And when they're putting out videos of you winning a fight and then a girl jumping in the ring in your face and you ready to whoop her and whoop her brother and whoop her team it make you look like you're angry but it was like no i'm just zero tolerance of bullcrap and i don't like disrespect but once that one fan something that that they were scared of me and i was going to all these other events and I would see fans looking at me and they would be scared to approach me, I had to make it known, like, I am not that.

I am not mad, angry. I had my trials and tribulations when I was a kid, but nah, this ain't that. Like, I'm a woman first. Like, I love my fans. I love, like him walk up to me get a picture get a video and I'll do a drop for you whatever just you ain't gotta be scared of me because if you only be intimidated or scared of me if you think you're gonna fight me because

that's when my switch cook you know that's when I click on but nah you ain't gotta be scared of me so that's why now like I feel like now it's like beauty in boxing for me. Like, I show my beautiful side and my funny side and my good side, but also, too, in the ring, I can't help but show you that I'm a beast for real. But that's just my job. At the end of the day, I'm still a beautiful woman. I want children. I want a family.

I want to have kids. Boxing is just my passion. Like, I just love fighting, but that doesn't mean that I want to be a man. I don't want to be no man, even in his next lifetime. I think my life would have been a little bit easier if I was a man, you know? But I don't want to be a man. You know, it's like, nah. You going to take off to have kids?

Take off? No, I'm going to train all through my pregnancy. What? Hold on. What do you mean train? Yeah, I'm not going to i'm not gonna spar but i'm gonna train like work out oh okay but no sparring with the big guy against the ropes i'm not about to lose this body for no kids i gotta work out listen after i have my kids they're not gonna have no fat mama i'm sorry i i talk with people and for real like i crack all type of jokes i mean lord forgive me but i'm a notorious big back shamer clarissa i've

heard about this and you're terrible you're terrible i'm saying that for me like do not come talking trash to me and you fat. Because I got some jokes for you. That's it. Like, you better leave me alone because I can crack up a couple jokey jokes. I'm going to make you want to fight me. Like, no. So I can't be a fat person because people blaze on me. I'm like, my feelings hurt.

Because, you know, karma don't miss nobody. No, I can't be fat. It's just jokes. Do you get that? Because you're so successful at what you do. And you're in such a great place in life and you do want to have kids. Do you get the same pressures that like,

like I get pressured, like when are you having kids? But like your success is, like you physically have to be available for your success. Does your family pressure you in that way? Even though you have to be physically, like in a certain like world to be successful still, if that makes sense.

Yeah, I get asked all the time, I'm going to have my kids. And I feel like it's really a thing with me I planned out my whole life at the age of 13 I'm like I'm gonna go to the Olympics then I won't even like at the age of 18 I'm gonna go back to and I said I'm gonna turn pro I'm gonna be undisputed so I've always planned my life out how I wanted it to be I've been trying to do that with kids and my thing was at first like i wouldn't be married you know it seems like i've been engaged you know but you're not no more i've been engaged oh oh but um marriage like walking down the aisle and jumping across the room and putting up with somebody forever it's like I want to do that, but it has to be like what I give,

you must give back. It has to be like I can't fill your cup and then don't fill mine back. So for me it's like I wanted to be a wife first before I have kids. Now, when I'm 29, I might be turning 30 next year, maybe I should just have a kid with somebody. But I don't know if I want to do that either. So I really want to be

in a relationship with somebody who I like and love and have some kids and raise a kid up in a two-parent home and a private school and all that good stuff.

You got to find the right person though. Got to find the right person. How are you dating? What's your dating life like? I'm not even on that yet. There's a lot of guys trying to court me, but just don't i just don't care right now it's like is it the focus or is it you still dealing with the i was engaged situation all those great men

in detroit i heard detroit men take care of what they do well you know what i've actually heard a few different things i heard like detroit new york atlanta got some good men that's what i've heard i just got to New York. I don't know. Oh, you need a nice good suburb man, Clarissa. That'd be good for you. A nice man from down south. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Or anywhere in the surrounding area of Atlanta. But you got to be open to it, though. You said you're not even open to that. Why, though? Is it because of work? Or is it because you're still figuring out that situation? No, I've always had a boyfriend throughout my whole career. Gotcha.

I ain't never been like really single. I've always been in a relationship. I think right now, I'm giving myself like an emotional break I always have to care about somebody's feelings like I'm a highly wanted woman and it's like I always have turned down

men to make the man I'm with so he's comfortable but it's like they don't men don't stop hollering at you just because you engaged or you got a man like they just keep coming and it be a lot of stars too so for me it's like they don't men don't stop hollering at you just because you engaged or you got a man like they just keep coming and it be a lot of a lot of

stars too so for me it's like I don't really want to you need somebody secure yeah I don't want

to date right now somebody sent a video in a group chat I ain't gonna see it's just a lot of men

in the group chat what's in the picture of my way in man yes my god the body is

She must get that right because she knew exactly what it was. And my man was like, yo, I ain't never look at Clarissa like this, yo. And so the whole group started talking. And I'm like, yeah, Clarissa got on panties and a bra at the weigh-in.

They may send a little flirty flirt, whatever, here and there. But I'm just, hmm. I'm telling you, that weigh-in. That weigh-in went to the group chat and homie was like, y'all see Clarissa cut?

First of all, on Facebook, it got 14.9 million views drake definitely was in them dms what drake ain't dm me he called you if he did i don't think i'll even tell y'all no but i know it's everybody was talking about the way but the thing is it's women's boxing. So that's what you're going to see.

You're going to see a good-looking woman. All the women ain't built like no men. I know damn sure that I'm not. I'm strong and all that stuff, but I look good. I look good. Absolutely. I got a good body, and I got a good face too. I'm just saying, I think the whole stereotype of women's boxers are, like, butch and men.

It's like, I don't want that image on me. I ain't manly. Like, I'm strong and I kick your ass, but, no, I ain't manly to be built. That's why I didn't want to go to 47 because I'm going to lose my butt. I already ain't got no breasts. I mean, I'm being for real. I'm like an A-cup. So, you think I'm going to go on a 47, be smaller A-cup,

and I have no ass? You got to pay me for that. I'm being for real. Y'all laughing? Like, look, you got something. I don't. See, but I ain't. Hey, I'm dragging back there. Yeah, it's like reverse.
