JAKE PAUL shut down a reporter after being asked about a major proposal regarding women’s boxing.
Paul, 28, promoted the card for Amanda Serrano and Katie Taylor’s trilogy fight at Maddison Square Garden via his Most Valuable Promotions stable.
The controversial YouTuber took questions from the media during a post-match press conference after Taylor, 39, defeated Serrano, 36, for the third time via controversial split decision.
A reporter asked the promoter about the potential effect ring girls may have on the projection of female boxers.
The journalist suggested some may question the need of ring girls, especially in all-female card like last night’s.
The reporter asked: “I have one last question, and it has to do with the projection of women in boxing.
“You guys have invested in women’s boxing, and I have spoken to a few people this week about the issue with having ring girls in an all-female card.
“The sexualisation of women. A couple of people have said, ‘Why don’t you have boys?’
“Or none of them at all. I just want to bring attention to the conversation.”
Paul didn’t answer the question and instead placed his hand on his head and ordered the reporter to “stop talking”.

He then said: “Bro, please stop talking.”
The Problem Child’s business partner Nakisa Bidarian added: “If anyone wants to submit an application to be a ring boy at MVP, send it to that young man.”
Neither Paul nor Bidarian addressed the question any further and didn’t use any serious arguments.
The boxer, who has only faced one professional in Tommy Fury who beat him, has helped women’s boxing a lot in recent years.
The social media star has worked closely with Serrano who inspired him with her tremendous skills despite being severely underpaid for years.
Paul helped her multiply her earnings and led her to paycheques worth millions.
