Claressa Shields has conquered the boxing world, stacking up Olympic golds, world titles, and historic wins, but the “GWOAT” still has one major item left on her bucket list: a walkout led by none other than Beyoncé.
The 31-year-old undisputed champion stopped by the TMZ Sports offices on Tuesday for a sit-down with Babcock and made a direct, heartfelt plea to the music icon.

“Beyoncé, listen, baby girl. Before I retire,” Shields said. “I need you to walk me out. You pick the song, and only perform 30 seconds, one minute, whatever you decide.”
Shields, who is fresh off a dominant KO performance against Kaye Scott, isn’t asking for much else. “Before I retire, I need Beyoncé to walk out the greatest woman of all time, and that’s my only request. I won’t ask you for nothing else. I won’t even ask you for a picture if that’s not what you want.”
With plans to keep fighting until she’s 38, Shields has plenty of time to make the dream happen. While she’s already had a biopic made about her life, she insists that having Queen Bey by her side for a fight would be the ultimate career highlight.
