On March 2, 2024, the boxing world turns its eyes to San Juan, Puerto Rico, where social media heavyweight Jake Paul (8-1, 5 KOs) takes on the seasoned pro Ryan Bourland (17-2, 6 KOs) in an 8-round cruiserweight clash at the iconic Coliseo de Puerto Rico. Sharing the spotlight, Amanda Serrano returns to Puerto Rico to fight Nina Meinke, making noise in her home turf as the undisputed champ. Both fights are up for grabs with your DAZN subscription, and Jake’s tossing his whole purse to his charity, Boxing Bullies, to spruce up local boxing gyms.

Jake’s stepping back into the ring for the first time this year after a jaw-dropping knockout win last December, aiming to buff up his boxing resume against Bourland, his toughest challenge yet. With more fights and KOs than any of Jake’s past foes, Bourland’s no joke. Meanwhile, Jake’s been racking up awards and making waves outside the ring, from knockout of the year to breaking gate records, and even buddying up with USA Boxing to give the sport a boost.
Ryan Bourland, a true boxing lifer since sixth grade, is all set to prove that real fights aren’t won on social media. With a solid record and a streak of wins, he’s ready to give Jake a run for his money. And let’s not forget, MVP’s throwing in some extra treats with Javon Walton’s debut and a couple more fights that promise to keep the excitement cranked up to eleven.
Jake’s talking big about chasing that world champ title and giving back to Puerto Rico, while Bourland’s ready to turn the tables and show what years of grinding in the gym can do. MVP’s co-founder, Nakisa Bidarian, is all praises for Jake’s heart and hustle, both in and out of the ring. With a lineup this stacked and a cause this good, March 2 is shaping up to be one for the books.
