\n\tJake Paul\u2019s Most Valuable Promotions<\/a> (MVP<\/a>) is bringing the first-ever championship boxing<\/a> bout to TikTok<\/a>, with Amanda \u201cThe Real Deal\u201d Serrano (49-4-1, 32 KOs) defending her unified title against Argentina\u2019s #2 WBO contender\u00a0Lucrecia Manzur\u00a0(14-4, 7 KOs). Should Serrano KO Manzur, she will break the all-time women\u2019s knockout record.<\/p>\n

\n\tRegardless of outcome, at least one milestone will be made on Friday, Aug. 21 at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California. Serrano vs. Manzur marks the first-ever unified women\u2019s world championship set for 12, two-minute rounds \u2014 you know, unless that knockout (or one the other way around) comes. The unification here includes the WBO, WBA, and Ring Magazine titles.<\/p>\n

\n\tSerrano is a seven-division champion, the first Puerto Rican undisputed world champion (male or female), and the first female boxer to headline Madison Square Garden. She was MVP\u2019s first signee and has a lifetime contract with the promotion that will make her chairwoman of its women\u2019s boxing initiatives following her in-ring retirement, whenever that comes.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019ve dedicated my career to creating opportunities for women\u2019s boxing and bringing our sport to the biggest stages possible, so to headline the first-ever championship boxing event on TikTok<\/a> is incredibly meaningful,\u201d\u00a0Serrano said in a statement.\u00a0\u201cWomen\u2019s boxing deserves to be seen by as many people around the world as possible, and this partnership gives us the chance to introduce our sport to a massive global audience in a completely new way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIf that whole \u201cReal Deal\u201d thing sounds familiar, it\u2019s because Evander Holyfield did it first.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Serrano-Manzur undercard will feature Jahmal Harvey\u00a0(3-0, 2 KO) vs. Hammet Keb\u00a0(7-2-1, 6 KOs) in a six-round lightweight (135 lbs.) bout, Jully Poca\u00a0(1-0) vs. Cinderella Linnear\u00a0(1-0) in a four-round super lightweight (140 lbs.), Roxy Verduzco\u00a0(7-0, 1 KO) vs.\u00a0Miguelina Hernandez\u00a0(4-0, 3 KOs) in an eight-round featherweight bout, Nelvie Tiafack\u00a0(4-0, 3 KOs) vs. Salvador Zavala\u00a0(7-0, 5 KOs) in a six-round heavyweight bout, and Jocelyn Camarillo\u00a0(6-0, 1 KO) vs. Ashley Felix\u00a0(7-4, 1 KO) in a six-round minimumweight (105 lbs.) fight.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFrom day one, MVP has challenged the traditional boxing model by creating the biggest moments and opportunities for fighters while finding new ways to bring the sport to fans around the world,\u201d\u00a0said Paul and his MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian.\u00a0\u201cPartnering with TikTok to deliver the first-ever championship boxing event on TikTok Live is another example of that vision to grow the audience for boxing and make world championship fights more accessible than ever. This event will also further activate MVP\u2019s loyal fanbase among hard-to-reach Gen Z and Gen Alpha audiences, demographics that MVP has consistently reached better than anyone else in the sport.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTikTok has previously hosted boxing matches, but none with this much on the line.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis partnership reflects our commitment to bringing the world\u2019s most compelling live sports moments to our global community, while giving fans new ways to discover, engage, and interact with the athletes and creators they love,\u201d added Shen Gao, head of Live Operations, Americas at TikTok.\u00a0\u201cWe\u2019re excited to bring the first championship boxing event to TikTok Live alongside MVP, spotlighting Amanda Serrano<\/a> as she works toward a historic milestone.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jake Paul\u2019s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) is bringing the first-ever championship boxing bout to TikTok, with Amanda \u201cThe…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":804646,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[11161,64,63,802,9225,22952,85,101],"class_list":["post-804645","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-amanda-serrano","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-jake-paul","tag-mvp","tag-sports","tag-tiktok"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/804645","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=804645"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/804645\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/804646"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=804645"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=804645"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=804645"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
