Claressa Shields blasts Cris Cyborg amid fight talks, says she "whooped her a**" when they sparred: "She wants the clout"

Claressa Shields recently took aim at Cris Cyborg and blasted her amid talks for a potential bout between them. The PFL stars have had several back-and-forth exchanges both in-person and on social media as they expressed interest in fighting each other, but where it transpires has been the issue.

The Brazilian has remained steadfast in her stance that should a boxing bout between them materialize, 'T-Rex' would have to cut down to 147 pounds. Shields refused and stated that if Cyborg really wanted to fight her, she could do so at 154 pounds.

During her latest appearance on the Pound 4 Pound podcast, the two-time Olympic gold medal-winning boxer told Kamaru Usman and Henry Cejudo that she dominated the MMA legend in a past sparring session. Shields sounded off on Cyborg and mentioned that she is seeking attention and recalled what transpired when were in the ring together:

"She wants the clout. That's what Cris Cyborg wants and when we sparred, I kicked her a** easy. And then her little boyfriend Ray, when I whooped her a**, he walks up to me, he's like, 'Oh my God, it just feels so good to see Cris get humbled. She beats up guys in the gym...all the women. It just felt so good to see her get humbled'. It makes me think that she whooped his a**."

Claressa Shields discloses why she wants to fight Cris Cyborg in boxing instead of MMA

In addition to sounding off on Cris Cyborg, Claressa Shields disclosed why she wants to fight the PFL champion in boxing instead of MMA.

Despite both Shields and Cyborg being signed to the PFL, 'T-Rex' mentioned during the aforementioned clip that she wants their bout to be in boxing because the Brazilian was so confident about knocking her out:

"She wanna fight me. Well bi*ch, come do it...No, you idiot, no, I'm not going [to fight you in] MMA. You said you would knock me out if it were 8 ounce gloves at 154 pounds. I don't give a damn if we wore 4 ounce gloves, I'mma sleep Cris Cyborg's a**."
