Meet Emily Austin: The Boxing Mainstay Part of Jake Paul's MVP Broadcast Team

Emily Austin has become one of boxing’s most recognizable broadcast faces. Now, she brought that experience to collaborate with Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions during his latest big event.

After years of covering some of boxing’s biggest fights, interviewing world champions and becoming a familiar presence for DAZN ringside, the famous sportscaster Austin joined MVP’s broadcast team for the August 21 title fight night at the Pechanga Resort Casino located in the Temecula Valley of Southern California.

Austin's MVP Debut

As always, Austin was front-and-center throughout the event from covering weigh-ins to interviewing fighters immediately after their face-offs, as well as before stepping inside the ring on fight night and talking with the winners.

She also had additional on-camera hits throughout the event.

Afterward, Austin wrote on Instagram: "First fight with MVP 💥 First-ever championship boxing card, LIVE on TikTok 🥊 Proud to join a team that continues to push boxing forward and has done so much to elevate women’s boxing. What a way to make my debut 🎙️ 📸: @latinosportsofficial."

She also stood out with her denim look.

4. Basketball, not boxing, was her original broadcasting specialty. She created "The Hoop Chat," which was an NBA-focused podcast.

5. She covered a Super Bowl LVI in 2022 between the Cincinnatti Bengals and Los Angeles Rams for SirusXM while she was still a college student.

6. She was a super athlete growing up, and even ranked 13th nationally as a tennis player in high school where she went undefeated all four years.

7. She was on the 2022 Miss Universe selection committee.

8. She has nearly 3 million Instagram followers.

For Austin, appearing with Paul's MVP team is another major moment in her boxing career where she has become popular over the years through her work with DAZN, covering major fight weeks and going one-on-one with some of boxing’s biggest names like this interview with Anthony Joshua below.

Austin has made a name for herself beyond the ring as well like with her recent FIFA World Cup coverage in different cities and eye-catching fits.

Austin is also simultaneously filming her forthcoming reality series "No Days Off," which follows her crazy schedule behind her career in sports and entertainment. Her MVP weekend offered a behind-the-scenes look at what goes into her work, giving viewers access to moments they never see when the broadcast ends.

It’s a fitting next chapter for Austin after spending years building her name in boxing and now stepping into Paul’s rapidly expanding MVP universe for one of its most ambitious broadcasts yet.

Paul, who is an influencer-turned-pro-boxer, knows a thing or two about big fights having taken on Mike Tyson in 2024, and then Joshua in 2025 with an insanely big payday.

He also knows a thing or two about tapping into influencers and talent for his businesses like Livvy Dunne doing some crazy gymnastics moves for his "W" brand men's products.

Now, Austin is his next big move.
