Claressa Shields came through with some words after Laila Ali’s team said no to their fight. TMZ caught up with the boxing champ recently, and she said she feels like they’re only saying no, because Laila’s “scared” to duke it out with her in the ring.
If you were waiting to see Claressa Shields and Laila Ali throw down, hate to burst your bubble, but it’s not happening. Claressa talked about Laila’s team saying no during a recent run-in with TMZ. When they asked her about the fight status, she said they flat-out said no, and if she were Laila, she wouldn’t fight here either.
“Layla and her representatives have told us no. Like, the answer is ‘no.’ She doesn’t want to fight. And that’s fine. I have no problem with that. I’m not upset. I mean, I wouldn’t fight me either. You know what I’m saying? I understand that she’s scared. I’m moving on,” Shields explained.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
