"I'm like Star Wars baby" - Jake Paul reveals plans for potential world title trilogy fight, lambasts "clout chasing b***h" Eddie Hearn
The much-awaited Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson boxing spectacle is arguably a Trojan Horse for the true fight of the year: Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano II. While casual viewers of violence would marvel at the YouTuber-turned-boxer taking on the 58-year-old legend, boxing fans are salivating at 'KT' facing 'The Real Deal' once again.
Speaking in his face-off interview with 'Iron' on YouTube, 'The Problem Child' mapped out his big plans for the two female boxing icons:
"When Amanda Serrano wins [against] Katie Taylor, I think we do the trilogy at Croke Park. I'll get Donald Trump to come in. He loves doing big fights since Eddie Hearn hasn't been able to get anything done over there. He's too busy trying to be in Katie Taylor's corner for the fight. Can you believe that?"
Pressing in on Hearns, Paul said:
"The clout-chasing on this guy is f**king insane but Katie, we'll make the trilogy happen in Croke Park and it's gonna be something [that] they could settle the score. I believe Amanda's gonna win. It'll be one and one then they can do the third and settle it all... [Speaking on trilogy] I'm like Star Wars, baby [laugh]"

Why Jake Paul is hyped about Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano II
If you want to understand why Jake Paul is talking so much about this rematch between Taylor and Serrano, you'll have to watch the first bout between the warring warrior queens. The two made history back in 2022, being the first two women to headline a boxing card inside the iconic Madison Square Garden.
At the time, Taylor was considered the no.1 best pound-for-pound female fighter in the world while Serrano wasn't far behind, sitting at no. 3. Additionally, Taylor is still considered the best pound-for-pound today while Serrano has since held the Guinness World Record for holding the most women's world titles in different weight classes, winning nine belts in seven weight divisions.
The two put on a modern-day classic, with the first half showcasing their top-notch technical boxing while the latter pushed them to go on a blood-and-guts war. The outcome - a split decision victory for Taylor - was perhaps one of the most disputed decisions in modern boxing, with the entire community cut in half.
Still, the historic match won Fight of the Year from Sports Illustrated while the fight card won the Event of the Year award from The Ring. Something tells us we'll see a repeat of this on Nov. 15.
