MVP Women's Boxing: Jake Paul's Role With Serrano and Taylor

Updated: October 2026

When people talk about MVP women's boxing, they are talking about one of the least expected plot twists in modern fight promotion: Jake Paul — the YouTuber-turned-boxer nicknamed "The Problem Child" — becoming a genuine power broker in the women's game. Through Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), the promotional company behind his own boxing career, Paul helped elevate Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor, whose bouts together were landmark women's fights promoted by MVP and Paul.

This is the story of how that happened, what Paul's role actually is, and why it matters for women's boxing in 2026.

What Is MVP Women's Boxing?

Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) is the promotional company built around Jake Paul's boxing career, run with his business partner and promoter Nakisa Bidarian. While it started as the vehicle for Paul's own fights, it grew into a full promotional outfit — and its most culturally significant work has been in the women's division.

MVP women's boxing refers to the company's promotion of elite female fighters, headlined by Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor. Under MVP's banner, Serrano vs Taylor bouts became landmark events for women's boxing — the kind of fights that drew mainstream sports coverage and proved women's headliners could anchor major cards.

Amanda Serrano: The Centerpiece of MVP Women's Boxing

Amanda Serrano is widely regarded as one of the biggest stars in women's boxing, and her partnership with MVP put Paul's promotional machine directly behind her career. Rather than treating women's bouts as undercard filler, MVP positioned Serrano as a headliner — with the marketing budget, production values, and media push to match.

That positioning matters. In boxing, promotion is oxygen: the difference between a great fighter and a famous one is usually the machine behind them. By attaching his audience and his promotional infrastructure to Serrano, Paul gave MVP women's boxing a visibility engine that few female fighters had ever enjoyed.

The Serrano vs Taylor Bouts: Landmark Moments

The fights between Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor, promoted by MVP and Paul, were landmark women's bouts — meetings of two of the sport's biggest names on the kind of stage usually reserved for men's superfights.

We are keeping this to what is verified: these were landmark women's fights promoted by MVP/Paul, and they drew the mainstream attention that women's boxing had long deserved. Specific dates, venues, and results are outside the scope of this piece — the point here is the promotional achievement, not the scorecards.

What made them landmarks was not just the action in the ring but the packaging around it: major-event production, serious media coverage, and a promoter in Paul who used his enormous personal platform to tell the world these fights mattered. For a generation of young female fighters watching at home, that signal was everything.

Jake Paul's Promotional Role: What He Actually Does

So what does Paul actually do in MVP women's boxing? He is not a traditional promoter in the old-school mold, and it is worth being precise about his role:

• Platform: His social media reach and celebrity give MVP's fighters an audience that money alone cannot buy. When Paul talks about a Serrano fight, millions of casual fans hear about it.
• Investment and infrastructure: MVP provides the promotional apparatus — marketing, event production, media relations — that turns good fighters into stars.
• Advocacy: Paul has consistently used interviews and his own fight-week spotlights to push women's boxing into the mainstream conversation, framing Serrano and Taylor as elite athletes rather than novelties.
• Partnership with Bidarian: The day-to-day promotional operation runs with Nakisa Bidarian, his business partner and promoter — the same Bidarian who announced Paul's own medical clearance and comeback in October 2026, as reported by USA Today.

Why MVP Women's Boxing Matters in 2026

Women's boxing has been growing for years, but growth needs catalysts — moments when the mainstream looks over and pays attention. The Serrano-Taylor bouts under MVP were those moments. They demonstrated that with real promotional muscle behind them, women's fights could generate the buzz, the coverage, and the cultural conversation of any major boxing event.

There is also a longer game here. Every young girl who saw Serrano headlining a major card is a potential future champion, fan, or pay-per-view buyer. Paul's contribution to MVP women's boxing is best measured on that timeline: not in one event's numbers, but in the pipeline of talent and attention it helped create.

And the timing is notable. As Paul himself returns from a 293-day injury layoff — his jaw broken in two places by Anthony Joshua in December 2025, two surgeries, medically cleared in early October 2026 — the MVP machine he built keeps running. The women's boxing wing of his empire no longer depends on his own fight schedule to matter. That is the mark of promotion that worked.
