It hadn’t even been 24 hours after Claressa Shields enjoyed a private screening of ‘The Fire Inside.’ The upcoming movie breaks down her upbringing and boxing career. But NOW, folks online are all up in her romantic business! That’s thanks to her “boyfriend” Papoose and his estranged wife Remy Ma popping off with cheating accusations, threats, and text leaks on Thursday. To make matters messier, Claressa’s ex-fiancé, Tony Richardson, has also added his two cents!
Late Thursday, Claressa seemed to continue fueling tensions with Remy Ma by teasing her location and an interesting message.

Claressa Shields’ Ex-Fiance Makes THIS Jokey Joke
Early Thursday morning — and a couple of hours into the Remy-Pap drags — Tony Richardson cracked a jokey joke on socials. A Facebook page under the name ‘Tony Rich’ wrote, “When I hit Remy Ma don’t y’all be on my [peanut and laughing emojis].” Within 10 hours, the post has been shared more than 500 times on that platform alone. Meanwhile, a verified Facebook account for Claressa replied to it within an hour of it being up! The reply said, “Aww” with a heart-face emoticon. And the post is STILL booming on the platform, with almost 1,000 comments and nearly 3,000 reactions.
Pause! When Was The Boxer Engaged & Who Is Tony?
Now, what plenty of folks are asking is: when was Claressa Shields engaged? The Shade Room did a lil’ digging and found a few posts straight from the source about the couple!
Sportskeeda reports that she and Tony first went public with their relationship in November 2020. He’s a certified fitness trainer who has owned a gym since 2019. The first time Shields referred to him as her fiancé appears to be in a post from March 19, 2022, in which she shared a video of a HUGE diamond rick on her finger. Her caption read, “My man LOVE ME!!!! GWOAT A FIANCÉ!!!! Omg.”

That same year, in July, she shared an anniversary post, smiling with her fiancé in the attached photo.

It’s unclear when the seemingly happy couple split, though. There are at least two posts from 2024 in which Shields called Tony Richardson her fiancé. And those receipts also come with photos!
One X (formerly Twitter) post from January shows the ex-couple cheesing in two photos. One shows Tony with a handful of Claressa’s peach in a mini blue dress while she has her eyes closed. Her caption said, “Another year I bring it in with my fiancè. 2024 be good to us.”

Another post on the same platform suggests the engaged couple was making BIG moves in mid-2024. She revealed on May 9 that she and Tony Richardson had sold their “first property together” and shared a picture of them cheesing post-sale.
Yay 😃 me and my fiancé just sold our first property together! Cha Ching 🤑🤑 #Claressashields #GWOAT NOW NEXT TO GET REHABBED & SOLD, apartment complex! pic.twitter.com/4AudMSKUmf

Where’s Papoose In All This?
‘The Fire Inside’ will premiere on Christmas Day. It’s unclear if “boyfriend” Papoose will attend any events for the film.
