She's confident she would have no problem with the 27-year-old "Problem Child."
"The offer is always up there if Jake Paul wanna scrap with me," Shields told TMZ Sports this week. "I don't think that he's that good of a boxer.
"I'm never ever going to say or even feel that Jake Paul can beat me in a boxing match because he can't."
Shields said Paul once "tried to kick [her] when [she] was down," and has had a "beef" with him ever since. Shields said Paul called her a "loser" after she lost a split-decision in her MMA debut.
"You can't call me a loser because you don't box better than me," Shields added. "And you damn sure don't do MMA better than me. You do nothing better than me."
