Olympic champ and undisputed boxing queen Claressa Shields isn’t shy about showing love, and she just made it very permanent. During her July 2025 weigh-in against Lani Daniels, Shields revealed a fresh tattoo reading “Papoose” just below her chest, making it clear that her heart is fully in the ring… and off it.
“I got his name,” Claressa Shields joked during a post-fight moment, radiating the kind of confidence only a champion could carry.
Claressa’s Bold Move: Ink Over Everything
Let’s be real: getting your boo’s name tattooed is a major power move. And for Claressa Shields, this wasn’t just about clout, it was about love, respect, and commitment. Fans immediately flooded social media with reactions ranging from “Yaaass queen!” to “Girl, calm down!”
The vibe? Messy in the best way possible. Shields is unapologetically showing off her affection for Papoose, and he’s reportedly loving every second of it. Sources close to the couple say that Papoose fully supports her decision to get his name inked, proof that he’s into her bold energy and reciprocates the love, even if he hasn’t publicly shown it the same way.
Papoose’s Tattoo Status: Mysterious and Low-Key
Papoose hasn’t been seen sporting a tattoo of Claressa Shields’ name. And while that doesn’t necessarily mean he hasn’t gotten one (he could be keeping it private), it does leave fans speculating.
Some are debating: is Papoose secretly planning a tattoo move, or is this just Claressa going all-in while he stays cool, calm, and collected? Either way, the narrative is clear, Claressa Shields is head-over-heels and not afraid to show it, while Papoose is keeping his energy steady, supporting her love in his own way.

During the weigh-in against Lani Daniels, Shields lifted her robe just enough to show off her new ink. The crowd went wild, and social media exploded. Fans gushed over her boldness:
- “Claressa is really out here showing the world she’s in love!”
- “She’s got Papoose forever on her chest and I’m living for it.”
- “Girl, that’s messy but I stan it.”
Shields later joked in an Instagram Live about possibly getting another tattoo! Maybe somewhere extra cheeky… just to make her point about devotion. Love her energy, messy or not.
