The match could crown Shields, who is 15-0, as the first-ever undisputed women’s heavyweight champion. A win will cement her as the only male or female fighter in boxing’s “four-belt era” to become an undisputed champion across three divisions.
Shields, an Olympic gold medalist with a pristine 15-0 record, got into a high-profile back-and-forth with Remy Ma after all parties exchanged salacious allegations.
Remy Ma, who has since admitted to being in a relationship with Eazy The Block Captain, accused Papoose of threatening to release private content and cheating on her during their marriage.
Papoose fired back, labeling Remy as a narcissist and accusing her of multiple infidelities. Shields also entered the fray and said she would fight Remy and would only take $1 as her payout.
Papoose showing up to support Shields despite the drama around his broken marriage makes it clear—he’s moving on.
As for Remy Ma, she previously declared her love for Eazy The Block Captain, who claimed people were hating on their relationship because they were happy.
