Claressa Shields may have already conquered the boxing world, but the undisputed champion has one major wish left to check off her bucket list: a Beyonce walkout.
Shields recently made a direct appeal to Queen Bey, asking the superstar to accompany her into the ring before she calls time on her legendary career.

Speaking with TMZ Sports, Shields said:
“Beyoncé, listen, baby girl. Before I retire, I need you to walk me out. You pick the song, and only perform 30 seconds, one minute, whatever you decide.”
The two-time Olympic gold medalist, who recently scored a dominant knockout victory over Kaye Scott, says she plans to continue fighting until around 38, meaning there’s still time for the dream to become a reality. Her plea to the multi Grammy winning singer continued:
“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 countless championships and historic victories already under her belt, Shields says having Beyonce by her side for one final entrance would be the ultimate career moment.
Once the news hit the desk of BroRilla, the sister of Rap hitmaker GloRilla, she wasn’t exactly supportive of Claressa’s dream.
On the heels of a highly publicized back-and-forth spat she had with Shields ahead of the boxer’s fight with Scott, Bro (aka Victoria “Scarface” Woods) followed with a slew of stinging disses about the Bey request.
“She’s trying to get my icon to walk her out; Beyonce not walking you out b-tch. Don’t even piss me off like that,” said Woods in a fiery rant as captured by our friends at TNT above. “I don’t know why the f-ck you even feel worthy enough to think she is.”
That’s not all she said. Click PLAY on the video above.
