Boxing champ Claressa Shields is spilling the tea on her family goals, confirming she's ready to welcome her first baby with rapper Papoose next year. In a candid chat, she shared her hopes for a healthy little one—ideally a boy to match Pap's wishes. Shields is all about balancing motherhood with her ring comeback.
Oh, honey, Claressa Shields is serving up some major life updates, and we're here for it! The undisputed GWOAT sat down with Fight Hype recently and didn't hold back about her 2026 blueprint. '100% I’m having a baby!' she declared, eyes on starting a family with her man Papoose after knocking out a couple more fights. 'I just want to get my two, three fights out the way and then I want to start my family. Then after that… I can get back in shape and fight some more,' Shields explained, proving she's plotting that boss mom glow-up.
Gender reveal tea? She's praying for a healthy bundle of joy, but since Papoose is dreaming of a mini-me son, Claressa is all in on the idea. 'Their lil’ man will probably box and rap,' she mused, imagining a tiny champ with rhymes and jabs. This isn't new chatter—back in July, on 'The Pivot' podcast, she doubled down: she and Pap want a baby in 2026 and no plans to stop at one. Why wait? 'I don’t want to be too old,' she said. 'I want to be able to run at the park with my kids and stuff like that. So, I think keeping my body in shape.. I don’t drink or smoke. I think that will also help me too, when I’m going through this whole body and life change.'
And wedding bells? Earlier this month on the 'Sherri Shepherd Show,' Claressa shut down the rumors with flair. 'I believe that’s definitely in our future, but he gotta plan that cause that gotta be BIG! I’m like a go big or stay home kind of girl.' So, Roomies, is Claressa about to level up her legacy with a ring and a nugget? Spill your thoughts! 🔥
