Jake Paul responds to critics, talks MVP propping up women’s boxing
Most Valuable Promotions has shown to be supportive of women’s boxing through MVP, and in touching on that, Paul said,
“I mean, it’s just boxing at the end of the day. MVP, Nakisa, and myself have always believed in people like her [Alycia], Amanda Serrano and the women’s side of things that arguably 9 times out of 10 have more entertaining fights than some of the men these days.”

My skillset continues to improve and I’m a lot better boxer than these people who have been doing it their whole lives.”
