Well now, y’all wanna know about Claressa Shields and her boyfriend, huh? I reckon that’s somethin’ folks are mighty curious about. Ain’t no surprise, though, ‘cause Claressa, she’s a big name in the boxing world—been to the Olympics, got them shiny gold medals hangin’ on her wall, and now she’s takin’ on MMA too. But don’t let all that tough fighter stuff fool ya; she’s got a soft side, just like anyone else, and a fella she’s been with for a good while now.
Her boyfriend, Tony Richardson, well, he’s been around for a while. They’ve been in a relationship for a couple of years now. I reckon they started datin’ ‘round 2020 or so, give or take a bit. Tony ain’t a boxer himself, but he’s been her rock, always there for her when she needs it. And that’s somethin’ important when you’re out there fightin’ for titles and takin’ punches for a livin’. He’s been there, supportin’ her all the way. Can’t say that about too many folks, can ya?
But the story don’t just end with them two. In December 2023, Claressa went ahead and made it official. She posted a picture on the internet, called X or somethin’, where she’s kissin’ Tony and sportin’ a big ol’ ring on her finger. Yep, they got engaged. Now, I don’t know about y’all, but I’d say that’s some real commitment right there. She even posted a lil’ message sayin’, “Lol [ring emoji] back officially engaged.” Ain’t that sweet?
Now, when folks talk about Claressa Shields and her personal life, they don’t just talk about her man Tony, they also talk about the things she’s done in her career. Like I said, she’s won Olympic gold twice. She’s been the undisputed middleweight champion too, and she ain’t showin’ no signs of stoppin’ anytime soon. But her career ain’t the only thing that folks talk about. She’s also a strong woman in her personal life, takin’ care of family and lookin’ out for folks she loves.
But it wasn’t always so clear what Claressa’s love life would look like. She don’t have no children of her own, but she’s got a niece that she took in when her cousin was thinkin’ of doin’ somethin’ else with the baby. Claressa, bein’ the kind soul she is, stepped in and took the little one in, named her Klaressa. But after some time, her cousin changed her mind and asked for the child back. That’s a tough situation, ain’t it? Still, Claressa always did what she thought was best for the little one, even if it didn’t work out the way she expected.
When it comes to love, though, Claressa and Tony are pretty strong. In fact, in June 2023, they’ve been together for three years. That’s quite a bit of time, don’t you think? They’ve stuck it out through thick and thin, and that speaks to the kind of relationship they’ve got. Ain’t no easy road, especially when you’re in the public eye like Claressa. But she’s managed to keep her love life steady, even with all the pressures that come with bein’ a world champion boxer.
And I reckon there’s more to come for these two. With Claressa’s career takin’ off and Tony right there by her side, I’m sure they’ve got big plans ahead. Whether it’s more titles, more challenges, or even more moments like that engagement post, they’re sure to keep folks watchin’. Just like she’s done in the ring, Claressa’s makin’ her mark in the world of love too, with Tony by her side every step of the way.
So, if you’re wonderin’ what’s next for Claressa Shields and Tony Richardson, well, you can bet there’s gonna be more. Love, fights, and the journey of life—it don’t stop, and neither does she. Ain’t that the truth?
