Jake Paul to smash cakes with Eddie Hearn
Jake Paul, who is now back with his model girlfriend Julia Rose, will make himself a part of history when Taylor and Serrano will fill in MSG this Saturday. Indeed, the YouTuber-turned-boxer-turned-promoter will have a handful of potent reasons to boast for.
However, post the faceoff where Taylor and Serrano look deep into one another’s eyes, Eddie Hearn invites Jake Paul to a talk about ‘smash.’ As ‘The Problem Child‘ himself shared in one of his Instagram stories.

Madison Square Garden, the ultimate destination for the star
Serrano fighting Taylor at MSG is a vast deal for the history of combat and especially women’s sports. The legend, Muhammad Ali, fought some of his biggest fights inside this prestigious arena. On February 10, 1962, Ali, who then went by Cassius Clay, defeated Sonny Banks at MSG. Clay was only 20 years old.
Likewise, on March 22, 1967, Ali fought Folley inside MSG. He won via knockout in the 7th round. In a few years, Ali fought fellow legend Floyd Patterson on September 20, 1972, inside a glorious Madison. Ali won via corner stoppage, this time too in the 7th round.
