Dez Bryant Rides For Claressa Shields & Blasts Alycia Baumgardner “You Been Provoking Her!” 😳🥊

Dez Bryant is making it crystal clear whose side he’s on in the ongoing drama between Claressa Shields and Alycia Baumgardner — and he’s not holding back at all.

The former Dallas Cowboys star jumped into the conversation online after Claressa was banned from future Most Valuable Promotions events following an alleged backstage altercation with Alycia during MVP MMA 1.

According to reports and viral footage, tensions exploded backstage after a heated verbal exchange between the two boxing champions, with Claressa allegedly slapping Alycia’s hand away before security stepped in.

Since then, Alycia hinted at possible legal action while Claressa defended herself publicly, saying she refuses to remain silent while being “verbally attacked, threatened, discriminated against, or having her character assassinated.”

Now Dez Bryant has entered the chat — and he’s firmly backing Claressa.

In a series of comments, Dez called Alycia a “hypocrite” and an “overgrown child,” accusing her of provoking Claressa for a long time behind the scenes.

He also took a direct shot at Alycia’s role in women’s boxing, writing:
“You are the furthest thing from pushing women’s combat sports forward.”

The comments instantly sparked debate online, with fans split over whether Dez should’ve inserted himself into the situation.

Some social media users agreed with his take and claimed there’s more to the story than the viral clips show, while others felt nobody should excuse physical altercations regardless of the tension.

Meanwhile, the rivalry between Claressa and Alycia appears to be getting even messier by the day — and fans are now wondering whether this beef is headed toward lawsuits, a boxing ring… or both.
