Claressa Shields, the undisputed heavyweight boxing champion and self-proclaimed GWOAT (Greatest Woman of All Time), treated herself to a jaw-dropping $90,000 Bvlgari Serpenti jewelry watch, and she’s making sure the world knows it.
Fresh off her dominant July 26 victory over Lani Daniels, where she swept the scorecards 100-90, 99-91, 99-91, Shields decided it was time for her “first big girl purchase.” And when Claressa says big, she means big. The luxury timepiece is one of only two in existence, rocking an 18-karat rose gold case, a snake-inspired design, 134 VVS diamonds, and a sleek 26mm face.
But it wasn’t just the watch that caught fans’ attention — it was the way Shields celebrated it. She pulled up to the luxury jeweler, accompanied by none other than Papoose, and the couple exuded “power duo energy” from the moment they stepped in. Cameras caught them sipping champagne, cheesing side-by-side, and toasting to her latest splurge.
And Shields didn’t just flash her watch; she flashed stacks of cash. “This that fight money. This is when you fight, for real, for real. $90K on the wrist,” she declared in a clip, holding up wads of bills like a champ who knows exactly what she’s worth.
The symbolism of her choice is hard to miss. The Serpenti’s snake motif has been linked to transformation, making it a fitting emblem for Shields’ journey, from growing up in Flint, Michigan, to becoming an undefeated three-division world champion.
The purchase comes on the heels of another commanding victory for Shields, who kept her undefeated streak alive with a unanimous decision over Daniels in Detroit. With the win, she boosted her pro record to a flawless 17-0 and reminded everyone why she is the face of women’s boxing.
Claressa Shields, who was born in Flint in 1995, gained recognition as the first American boxer to secure Olympic gold medals in consecutive years (2012 and 2016). Her professional career has also been revolutionary, boasting 18 world titles across five different weight classes by 2025. Additionally, she has made an impact in mixed martial arts by competing in the Professional Fighters League (PFL).
