Shields Makes History With $8M Boxing-Music Deal
This month, news broke that Shields signed a guaranteed $8 million multi-fight partnership with Salita Promotions and Wynn Records, the music agency that houses her boyfriend, Papoose. The 30-year-old pound-for-pound queen of women’s boxing toyed with free agency, but ultimately decided to stay loyal to Dmitriy Salita, her first—and only—promoter. And now, she’s making history as the first athlete signed to Wynn Records, bridging the worlds of music and boxing in a major flex.
Fans had expected Shields to chase bigger payday fights, but she recently had social media buzzing after clips from her latest freestyle surfaced online. The undisputed champ brought her bars to BET’s new ‘106 & Sports’ series, and baby, she didn’t come to play. Hopping straight into her GWOAT bag, Claressa proved she brings the same heat to her raps as she does to the ring—flexing with lines like, “I be on that Master P, my credit card ain’t got no limit!” Additionally, Shields’ camp hasn’t revealed how many fights the deal includes or who she’ll face next, but she’s officially set to return to the ring in early 2026. And let’s just say, the boxing—and music—world are bracing for impact.
