Okay, so, I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz around Claressa Shields lately, especially about her personal life. Like, is she married? Who’s she dating? All that jazz. It got me curious, so I decided to do a little digging myself. You know how it is, you see something online and you just gotta know more, right?
First, I just did a simple search, typing in “is Claressa Shields married” into the search bar. The results were kind of all over the place. Some articles were talking about her boxing career, others were dropping names like Tony Richardson. So, I was like, “Okay, who’s this Tony guy?”

I started reading through a few different articles, trying to piece things together. I saw a bunch of mentions about a boyfriend and a possible fiance, an ISSA-certified fitness trainer. There was even mention of her sharing a short clip on X, or Twitter, or whatever they are calling it now, showing her exchanging kisses with her fiance. Then I saw she made her relationship with Tony public in November 2020 via an Instagram post. I don’t know how I did not know this!
Then I dug a little deeper. I found out that this Tony Richardson is apparently the founder of AT Fitness Gym, which is in Mt. Morris. It seems like they’ve been together for a while now, a couple of years at least. Some of them even called him her “boyfriend”. It’s all a bit confusing, to be honest.
I also stumbled upon some older stuff, saying she was “romantically engaged” back in 2021. So, I’m thinking, maybe they’re engaged, maybe they’re not? It’s hard to tell. People can call each other whatever they like, it is not my problem. I mean, Claressa seems pretty private about her personal life, which is totally understandable. She’s a big-time boxer, after all. She’s got a career to focus on!
But yeah, from what I could gather, it looks like Claressa Shields is not married, but she’s definitely involved with this Tony Richardson fella. Whether they’re officially engaged or just seriously dating, I guess that’s for them to know and for us to wonder about. I guess, we’ll just have to wait for an official announcement or something, but honestly, it’s none of our business. We should just respect their privacy.
It was a fun little investigation, though. The internet is a wild place, you can find all sorts of information if you just know where to look. Anyway, I hope that clears things up a bit. I just wanted to share my findings with you all because, well, why not?
