After sealing a clear-cut unanimous decision win against the renowned Nate Diaz earlier in August, the news has broken: Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) and DAZN have declared that global sensation Jake “The Problem Child” Paul (7-1, 4 KOs) is making his comeback into the ring come December 15th. This is gearing up to be Paul’s ninth professional contest, and fans across the globe can catch all the action on DAZN.
December promises to project Jake Paul’s most determined efforts in the ring. His only setback came in February when Tommy Fury bested him through a debated split decision. But by August, Paul was dominating again, besting Diaz with all judges in agreement. Since his professional debut three short years ago, Paul has bagged some respectable awards: ESPNRingside’s 2021 Knockout of The Year, Sports Illustrated’s 2021 Breakout Boxer of the Year, and ESPNRingside’s 2022 Viral Moment of the Year. Not to mention, he graced the cover of Sports Illustrated’s August 2023 issue, “The 50 Most Influential Figures in Sports”. This honor wasn’t just for his in-ring achievements but also his ground-breaking efforts advocating for pay equality in boxing and backing female fighters and upcoming talent via Most Valuable Promotions, co-led with Nakisa Bidarian.
Jake Paul expressed his thoughts, “In just 8 fights in boxing, and already I’m the top name. The globe has seen that I can be the main event in grand showdowns, and trust me, I’m merely warming up. I have my eyes set on that world champion title, and I’m fully committed. December 15 is the next significant step. Don’t even think about missing out.”
Nakisa Bidarian, MVP co-founder, stated, “Jake’s reach and the excitement he brings signifies that he’s perfectly poised to captivate audiences worldwide. In merely eight fights, Jake’s proven his monumental pull. His trajectory suggests he’s set to leave a lasting mark on boxing both within and outside the ropes. We’re thrilled to join forces with DAZN and present Jake Paul to international audiences on December 15. His resolve to become world champ and host grand events is unshaken.”
Echoing this sentiment, Joe Markowski, the big shot at DAZN North America, added, “Jake Paul’s influence is undeniable both inside and outside the ropes. The lineup DAZN has prepared for December is something special. Expect to see stars like Ryan Garcia, Devin Haney, Regis Prograis, Sunny Edwards, Bam Rodriguez, and obviously, Jake Paul, all live exclusively on DAZN.”
Furthermore, Paul and Bidarian’s MVP is prepped to spotlight top-contender talent on DAZN throughout the remaining year. Amanda Serrano, the undefeated featherweight champ with titles in seven divisions (45-2-1, 30 KOs), is lined up against WBO challenger Danila Ramos. This important 12-round, three-minute rounds unified featherweight title fight, on par with men’s title fights, is scheduled for October 27 at the Caribe Royale Resort, Orlando, Florida. Preceding this, there will be MVP’s Most Valuable Prospects III, highlighting the boxing stars of tomorrow.
