Emily Austin lands major Jake Paul boxing role after Serrano title fight

Emily Austin, a sports journalist, has secured a significant role in covering a major Jake Paul boxing event after Amanda Serrano successfully defended her WBA and WBO featherweight titles against Lucrecia Manzur at the Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, Southern California. Austin's responsibilities included attending weigh-ins, capturing the pre-fight face-offs, and reporting on the bouts, as well as interviewing the boxers after their matches.

This marks the first time Austin has worked with Jake Paul's Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), a milestone in her career. Austin is known for interviewing top fighters and sports personalities, having previously covered boxing through her work with DAZN and interviewed former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua. The MVP event holds special significance as it became the first championship boxing card fully broadcast through TikTok, marking a milestone for both the sport and its digital reach.

While Serrano's victory secured her 50th professional win, she fell short of her goal to break the record for most knockout wins by a woman in professional boxing. Austin's boxing assignment is just one aspect of her growing sports media career, which includes expanding her soccer coverage and participating in other major sports assignments.

She is currently involved in an upcoming reality series called "No Days Of," which will document her experiences across sports and entertainment. Austin maintains an active presence on Instagram under the handle @emily.austin.
