As a result, she's keenly aware of what's at stake and isn't letting the outside noise come at her. upset Teofimo Lopez and Gervonta Davis had a more challenging time than expected with Isaac Cruz on Sunday. Taylor saw what happened two weeks ago when George Kambosos Jr. Regardless, the 2012 Olympic gold medalist knows she can't do that. It would be easy for Taylor to look past the unknown Sharipova because the Kazakhstani has faced no one of significance leading into Saturday's contest. For me, he's obviously beneficial for me and my career, so he is willing to step in and get punched in the face (laughs). He is definitely picking and choosing these fights as well, people will say. I understand why people have a problem with him. He is stepping in the ring and getting paid well, so he is a good businessman. It's obviously beneficial for me as well him being involved in the sport, so I can't criticize them. "But I understand that he's in a position where he's going to make the Amanda Serrano fight happen. "I guess he is bringing a new audience to the sport, and if even seven or eight of those people that are watching Jake Paul become boxing fans, I guess it's worth it for even for that," Taylor told DAZN News. Despite her reservations when it comes to who Paul is stepping inside the ring with, Taylor understands the value the social media influencer-turned-boxer provides. Paul is an advocate of women's boxing and has been in discussions with Taylor's promoter at Matchroom Boxing, Eddie Hearn, to make it a reality. Paul runs his own promotional company, Most Valuable Promotions, and signed Serrano earlier in the fall. The reason the possibility is better now than in 2020? Jake Paul. But, by the looks of things, it will get into the end zone if Taylor handles her end on Saturday against mandatory challenger Firuza Sharipova and if Serrano can handle her business one week later against Miriam Gutiérrez. It appeared the fight would occur in 2020, but the COVID-19 global pandemic and other factors prevented it from crossing the finish line.
One of the premier fights boxing fans want to see in 2022 is current undisputed women's lightweight champion Katie Taylor and the unified women's featherweight titlist and former seven-division world champion Amanda Serrano.
