Laila Ali announces that she will not come out of retirement, and Clarissa Shields describes her as “scared, old, and bitter.”
On Thursday, October 30, Ali released a twenty-six-minute video on YouTube in which he dropped “receipts and documented evidence” to show that Shields’ claim that Ali would “come out of retirement for a $15 million fight offer…was false and taken out of context.”
About seventeen minutes into the video, Ali shared if Shields made her “crazy enough” to jump out of retirement and into the ring with her.
“Absolutely not. After years of blatant lies and vile disrespect, making unsolicited negative remarks about me, questioning the legitimacy of my boxing legacy, and having the audacity to cross the line by disrespecting my deceased father, and trying to use his name to discredit his daughter…she will not be rewarded with the opportunity to share the ring with me or anything else,” Ali said.
Shields appeared to take to Ali’s video and took to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Thursday, calling Ali “scared, old and bitter.”
On Friday, October 31, Shields returned to the platform, writing, ““You will be fooled by anything.”I won’t reward her with a fight, how can she reward me by eliminating me… Elimination is not a reward. All that barking and no bite “We all know she can’t crack a grape” but you don’t want me to hit you though”
Listen, she’s delusional! https://t.co/jJkvbZJsca

Shields allegedly secured the bag. But Ali makes it clear that she doesn’t move on anyone’s time, but on her own time, in The Shade Room.
