Jake Paul fight LIVE: UK start time, TV channel, undercard and stream
Social media sensation Jake Paul is back in the ring tonight as he takes on unknown professional boxer Ryan Bourland in Puerto Rico.
YouTuber-turned-boxer Paul is competing in his 10th professional boxing fight against Bourland and is hoping for another quick night at the office following his first-round KO of Andre August in December. The 27-year-old has moved away from mega-events on pay-per-view against popular opponents to take a more traditional path towards his goal of winning a world title.
Paul had three fights last year as he lost to bitter rival Tommy Fury before beating UFC legend Nate Diaz and stopping August. Bourland holds a professional record of 17-2 but has only fought once in the past six years. Tonight's card is headlined by Amanda Serrano's world title fight with Nina Meinke and Mirror Fighting will be here to keep you updated with round-by-round updates of each fight...
Main event CANCELLED
The main event between Amanda Serrano and Nina Meinke has been CANCELLED just moments after Jake Paul's KO win.
A statement from Most Valuable Promotions read: "Amanda Serrano has unfortunately been declared medically unfit by the Puerto Rican Boxing Commission to fight tonight due to an eye injury she sustained yesterday.
She is devastated that she won't be able to perform in front of her hometown fans, but despite wanting to go out and put on a show, the Commission said there is no way she can fight with her eye in its current condition.
This decision equally affects Nina Meinke and MVP will be paying her fight purse in full. MVP and Amanda would like to apologize to everyone in attendance and the company will provide full refunds for all those seeking it. Details to follow on the ticket refund process.
Amanda is proud of the way her fellow MVP teammates have competed tonight, she appreciates the love and support of her fans, and hopes to return to the ring soon."
