Sports journalist Emily Austin has secured a significant assignment with Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions, covering a boxing card held Friday evening at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, California. The event featured champion Amanda Serrano defending her WBA and WBO featherweight titles against challenger Lucrecia Manzur in what marked a historic milestone for the sport.
Serrano earned her 50th professional victory through a majority decision after all 12 rounds of competition concluded. The bout was notable for being the first championship boxing card broadcast exclusively through TikTok, representing a significant moment in the sport’s digital expansion. The platform attracted millions of viewers to witness the featherweight title defense.
Austin’s responsibilities encompassed multiple facets of event coverage, including pre-fight weigh-ins and face-offs, live fight commentary, and post-match interviews with competing boxers. This marks her first collaboration with Paul’s promotion company. The assignment adds to Austin’s expanding portfolio in sports media, which already includes boxing coverage through DAZN and interviews with prominent athletes including former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
Beyond her boxing work, Austin continues diversifying her sports journalism career with soccer assignments and entertainment projects. She is currently developing a reality series titled “No Days Off,” which will document her coverage across multiple sports and entertainment sectors. This MVP assignment represents another important credential as she builds her presence in the competitive sports media landscape.
