Jake Paul's MVP Could Provide Katie Taylor's Final Opponent at Croke Park
Most Valuable Promotions, founded by Jake Paul, may offer the ideal opponent for Katie Taylor's farewell fight at Dublin's Croke Park. Having staged Taylor's last two epic bouts against Amanda Serrano, MVP is well-positioned to provide a suitable opponent for Taylor's swansong, given its impressive roster in women's boxing. Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of MVP, has suggested Caroline Dubois as a potential 'last dance' partner for Taylor, while the winner of the upcoming WBA lightweight title fight between Holly Holm and Stephanie Han could also be a viable option. Bidarian envisions a scenario where the winner of Holm and Han could face Taylor in her final bout, describing it as 'very logical.' With Holm being a renowned UFC champion and Stephanie Han having a compelling story as a mother and full-time police officer, either opponent would bring an exciting dimension to Taylor's farewell fight. Bidarian is eager to collaborate with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing to stage the event, emphasizing the importance of respecting Taylor's loyalty to her long-time promoter. Hearn has ruled out Taylor featuring on the undercard of a potential Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua bout at Croke Park, affirming that Taylor deserves a main event spot in her hometown.
