Claressa Shields is reacting to Tesehki claiming they “ran into each other” at the 2025 BET Awards, but ducked the smoke. The decorated professional boxer claims that “never” happened, further calling the singer/rapper and ‘Baddies’ star a “random looking for clout.”
As we previously shared, the two women have called each other out online claiming they could KO (knockout) the other. They’ve even attempted to put their money where their mouth is with Tesehki claiming she’ll take $1.2 million to fight Claressa.
Meanwhile, on Sunday (June 8), during BET Awards Weekend, Claressa Shields briefly addressed her spat with Tesehki and told Hollywood Unlocked, she’d put up $100,000 to get in the ring with anybody wanting smoke with her.

While responding to a question asking about her thoughts on Tesehki “challenging” her, Claressa said:
“But was she? I don’t know. This is how a ‘call-out’ goes. You call me out, I say yes. We scrap. That’s how we do it in my hood. I’ve never had a fight where it’s like, ‘Oh, if I stop doing XYZ, then I could do XYZ’ I don’t know. But it’s free smoke; that’s all I’m sayin’.”
Claressa Shields continued to speak on Tesehki and anyone else, claiming:
“Free smoke for anybody who feel like they can beat me in a fight. I got a $100K. I wish I would’ve brought $100K with me so I can just throw it on the table. But, I got $100K for any girl that think they can whoop me. Street fighter, boxer, MMA. Hey, if you can beat me, I got a $100K for you. And I just don’t see it happening.”
Claressa Shields Denies Running Into Tesehki At BET Awards 2025
On Thursday (June 12), a video of Tesehki began making its rounds of her claiming she “ran into” Claressa at the Bet Awards and didn’t want no smoke. However, Claressa is now firing back and denying the claims. She took to X and tweeted:
“Let’s set the record straight: I never ran into Tesehki at the BET Awards. I’m focused on real fights with real athletes— world champions, not randoms looking for clout. When you’ve got back-to-back Olympic gold medals and multiple world titles in five weight classes, maybe then you’ll be on my radar. Until then, stay in your lane, #Facts NEXT FIGHT JULY 26th. #ChampTalk #GWOAT”
