Paul, a famed Youtuber recently ventured into boxing.
Claressa Shields says she could "beat up" Jake Paul - and it's "disrespectful" to suggest she would fight on his undercard.
Shields holds the WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO belts across two weight classes and is a two-time Olympic gold medallist.
There is nothing that would remotely make me think Paul could fuck with Shields. I don’t care about the male aspect of it, she can fight and skills are light years above his. I would pick her 7 days of the week, 2x on Sunday against Paul. https://t.co/2Xu6Ahaju5

The 26-year-old doubled down on the Paul claim after saying she would beat the You Tuber-turned fighter.
"Don't ever disrespect me. I would never fight on the undercard of Jake Paul," said the undefeated Shields.
She added: "No disrespect to Tyron Woodley or Jake Paul, but I'm a real boxer. I could beat up Jake Paul at the weight class I'm at right now.
"I would never fight on the undercard of someone who does not possess the skills or accomplishments that I have."
Men have seen me sparr other grown men in the gym! That’s how I & the professional fighters speaking on my behalf know that I’d embarrass @jakepaul don’t think that saying I’m a woman is a reason he’d beat me! Skills, power, experience! Don’t disrespect it

Paul, 24, is currently undefeated after winning four professional bouts.
Shields, who reiterated her words on Twitter, was asked about being on Paul's undercard after Amanda Serrano was the co-main fight on the YouTuber's bout against former UFC champion Woodley in August.
