Jake Paul was visibly uncomfortable and bewildered during the press conference following the third fight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano. A reporter managed the unthinkable: to get under the controversial boxer’s skin with an unexpected question that led him to roll his eyes and eventually interrupt the questioning.
Before the night’s protagonists took to the stage at Madison Square Garden, Paul and his partner Nakisa Bidarian faced the media. Most of the questions revolved around the resounding commercial success of the event, highlighting the impact of a stellar women’s card that sold out and grossed $2.63 million.

However, one reporter decided to take a completely different direction, veering away from financial and sporting topics. “I have one last question, and it has to do with the projection of women in boxing,” the journalist began. “You have invested in women’s boxing and I have spoken to some people this week about the problem of having ‘ring girls’ on an all-female card. The sexualization of women. A couple of people have said: Why don’t you have guys? Or none at all. I just want to draw attention to the conversation.”
Jake Paul’s blunt response
The question, which touched on a sensitive subject in sport and the image of women, seemed to take Jake Paul by surprise. His reaction was immediate and eloquent: he rolled his eyes and put the palm of his hand to his face, visibly annoyed at the direction of the conversation. Without hesitation, he interrupted the reporter with a blunt: “Bro, please stop talking”.
The situation became even more peculiar when Nakisa Bidarian, Paul’s partner, added sarcastically: “If anyone wants to send an application to be a ‘ring boy’ at MVP, send it to that young man”. The room burst into laughter and the reporter, having already achieved his goal of generating a reaction, quickly sneaked away.
Historic night for women’s boxing
Beyond the incident at the press conference, the night at MSG was historic because of the main bout between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano. Unlike their two previous encounters, which were more intense exchanges of blows, this third installment was characterized by a more conservative pace. Both fighters landed 70 punches each, for a total of 140.
In the end, the judges had a difficult decision. One of them scored it a 95-95 draw, but the other two judges awarded Katie Taylor the majority decision victory with scorecards of 97-93. With this result, Taylor not only retained her undisputed super lightweight crown, but also extended her lead to 3-0 in this epic rivalry with Serrano.
