Follow Us
Boxing has seen a considerable evolution since its inception, and now even celebrities involve themselves in this sport, making the biggest fights happen. A prime example of this would be American Youtuber Jake Paul, who has become the face of celebrity boxing. In a very short span of time, he has made a name for himself. Apart from boxing inside the ring, he has also promoted boxing fights.
Jake Paul: "We have $2million for Katie Taylor to come down to 126lbs. Katie Taylor – why don't you come down to 126lbs, go against Amanda Serrano in that weight? She came up to fight you. Come down to 126lbs, see if you're really the pound-for-pound best." [@DAZNBoxing Show]

He wrote, “We have $2million for Katie Taylor to come down to 126lbs. Katie Taylor – why don’t you come down to 126lbs, go against Amanda Serrano in that weight? She came up to fight you. Come down to 126lbs, see if you’re really the pound-for-pound best.”
The world witnessed the biggest fight in women’s boxing history as Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano squared off inside the ring on April 30. Jake Paul had stepped up to promote Serrano at the time. He recently called out Taylor for a potential bout with Serrano.
Apparently, Paul wants Taylor to come down to 126lbs, as last time Serrano had made the changes in her weight. He even offered $2 million for the same to her. Meanwhile, the first battle between the female boxers was a rather magnificent clash. Taylor won the bout in front of 18,000 fans in the arena. Let’s see if Taylor accepts the challenge to fight Serrano again.
