Jake Paul is planning to remain in boxing for years to come but will not be appearing on the Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano undercard.
Taylor and Serrano are set to meet at New York’s Madison Square Garden on April 30th in a world title fight, and Paul has been promoting the event with Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn over the last week.
Paul has his own professional boxing career and remains undefeated after knocking out Tyron Woodley in their December rematch. However, he has flirted with retirement from the sport, though that appears now to have turned into an extended break to focus on Most Valuable Promotions, his business venture which signed Serrano.
“Yes, for sure, I will always be involved in boxing,” Paul said on BBC 5 Live Boxing .
“I definitely see the Most Valuable Promotions roster growing. We’re just getting warmed up.
“I’ll be here for a while, people better get used to me.”
Paul was asked if he would make a fighting appearance for the event, but he said: “No chance of that happening. I’m fully focused on Promoter Paul. I’ve got my turtleneck on. That’s how you know. You can’t be a promoter without a turtleneck.
“It’s really Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor who made this fight happen. They’re the ones who put in the work to become the number one and number two pound-for-pound-best female fighters.”
