Remy Ma was spotted partying with boxing champion Alycia Baumgardner after her big win Sunday night, and considering their mutual history with Claressa Shields, this linkup is definitely going to raise some eyebrows.

The rapper was already in attendance supporting Baumgardner during her November 8 fight in Arlington, Texas. After the match, the celebration continued at the club, where Remy and Alycia were seen enjoying the night together.And Alycia had every reason to celebrate.
The boxer defeated previously unbeaten Elif Nur Turhan by unanimous decision, capturing the IBF lightweight championship and becoming a two-division world champion. All three judges scored the fight 100-90, meaning Baumgardner won every single round.
But while the championship victory was the reason for the celebration, seeing Remy Ma and Alycia together comes with some interesting history.
Both women have publicly clashed with Claressa Shields, although for very different reasons.
Made to order and shipped to your door.
Remy’s issues with Shields are tied to her estranged husband, Papoose, who is currently dating the boxing champion. Their relationship became a major topic after Remy and Papoose’s marriage fell apart publicly. Since then, Remy and Claressa have exchanged words online, making it clear that there’s no love lost between them.
Meanwhile, Alycia’s beef with Shields is rooted in boxing and has gotten physical.
Back in May, the two champions had a heated confrontation at a Most Valuable Promotions event in California. Video captured Shields striking Baumgardner during their exchange, and the situation resulted in Shields being banned from MVP events until further notice.
The two have also traded insults publicly, with their rivalry becoming one of the more personal feuds in women’s boxing.
And here’s where things get even more interesting.
This isn’t the first time Remy Ma and Baumgardner have linked up while tensions with Shields were running high.
Earlier this year, Remy featured Alycia and fellow boxing champion Amanda Serrano in visuals connected to her song “Wanna Go.” Serrano has also had disagreements with Shields, which made that collaboration especially noticeable.
Now, months later, Remy is still showing up for Alycia, this time supporting her as she adds another championship to her collection.
Of course, there’s no confirmation that their night out had anything to do with Claressa. Alycia just accomplished something major in her boxing career, and celebrating with friends after a victory makes perfect sense.
But given everything that has happened between these three women, their friendship was already getting attention long before this latest appearance.
As for Baumgardner, she’s keeping her momentum going. Her latest victory improved her professional record to 19-1, and she’s already looking toward bigger fights in the lightweight division.
