Claressa Shields Claps Back After Gym Patron Asks Her to Use Headphones on Live Stream: “I’m Her!”

Claressa Shields, the two-time Olympic gold medalist and undisputed world champion boxer, recently had an explosive moment on a live stream that has quickly gone viral.

While streaming her workout on Instagram Live at the gym, Claressa was approached by a man who requested that she use headphones to minimize the noise during her live session. What followed was a heated exchange that left viewers stunned.

It all began when Claressa, as usual, was sharing her workout progress with her fans. She had just completed a few rounds of boxing drills and was discussing her preparation for an upcoming photoshoot, celebrating her fitness journey in anticipation of her birthday.

The interaction seemed ordinary at first, but then a man, seemingly an employee or fellow gym-goer, asked her if she could use headphones because the noise from her live stream was disturbing his experience at the gym.

“Can you use headphones?” the man asked politely. “Do you mind if you use headphones?”

Claressa, clearly not understanding the request, shot back, “What do you mean? You can still hear me with your headphones on, right?”

The exchange became more tense when the man repeated his request, urging her to use headphones so that her stream wouldn’t be so loud. At that point, Claressa made it clear that she wasn’t going to allow anyone to dictate her actions, especially during her live stream, which was her time to connect with her fans.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with you people,” Claressa said, clearly irritated. “I have my headphones on; you have your headphones on. How can you hear me? I’m still gonna talk. I’m her, alright?”

Despite the man’s continued insistence, Claressa wasn’t backing down. She added, “I don’t know what’s wrong with you people,” as she adjusted her tone and calmed herself, clearly trying to maintain her composure while still pushing back against what she saw as unnecessary interference.

The conversation didn’t end there. Claressa went on to joke about how she was going to keep going with her live stream, admitting that she was frustrated by the encounter. But she soon regained her focus, jokingly saying, “It’s time to keep my composure,” as she carried on with her workout. Throughout her live session, she continued to show off her impressive boxing skills, even encouraging her viewers to aim high and keep pushing for success.

The gym incident wasn’t the only moment that caught the attention of her fans. Claressa also discussed her preparations for an upcoming event, a 90s-themed karaoke birthday party she was hosting. Her followers were quick to show their support, with many commenting on how relatable her frustration was and how she handled the situation in her signature unapologetic style.

As the exchange with the man unfolded, many fans on social media rallied behind Claressa, applauding her for standing her ground. The live stream quickly became a hot topic among her followers, with many praising her for remaining confident in the face of an awkward encounter.

Despite the awkward confrontation, Claressa Shields remains one of the most beloved athletes in the boxing world, known not only for her achievements in the ring but also for her strong, outspoken personality. Whether you love her or not, one thing is for sure—Claressa Shields is always going to speak her mind and never let anyone dictate her terms, even in the gym.
