Laila Ali made it clear, a comeback isn’t on the table unless the offer is truly life-changing. When asked whether she’d ever consider coming out of retirement for a potential showdown with Claressa Shields, the former unbeaten champion didn’t shut the door completely, but she did set the bar sky high.
“The rumor that I heard is that unless somebody has $15, $20 million, don’t even call me about a fight against Shields. That’s all I got.”
Claressa Shields didn’t waste a second responding to Laila Ali’s recent comments about a potential return to the ring and she made sure to do it loud and clear.
