The boxing world is buzzing as Anthony Joshua and Jake Paul prepare to meet in the ring on December 19 in Miami.
Dubbed a heavyweight spectacle, the fight will run eight three-minute rounds and carry professional status.
Netflix will stream the event live, giving fans worldwide front-row access to what’s expected to be one of the most talked-about bouts of the year.
Ring Girls Step Into the Spotlight
While all eyes will be on Joshua and Paul, the spotlight won’t stop there.
MVP Promotions, Paul’s company, has announced two of the ring girls who will help anchor the event, with a third spot still up for grabs.
Fans tuning in are sure to notice the stunning lineup — a Brazilian model and an American social media star — adding glamour to the heavyweight clash.
Raphaela Milagres: The Brazilian Veteran
Leading the duo is Raphaela Milagres, a seasoned pro who has walked the ring at multiple high-profile fights, including Jake Paul’s bouts against Mike Tyson, Andre August, and Ryan Bourland.
Milagres also appeared at the Katy Taylor vs Amanda Serrano fight in July.
The 31-year-old Brazilian has a solid background in bikini modeling, even placing eighth at the Ms. Olympia competition in 2018.
With 181,000 Instagram followers, Milagres combines experience and social media reach, making her a perfect fit for the high-profile Miami event.
Marissa Ayers: The American Rising Star
Joining Milagres is 22-year-old Marissa Ayers, a gymnast-turned-influencer who made her MVP debut at MVP Prospects 12 in Orlando this past May.
A University of Alabama graduate in Public Relations and Advertising, Ayers has built a strong online presence with 400,000 Instagram followers and over 1.5 million fans on TikTok.
Her background in gymnastics and cheerleading with Stingray Allstars has clearly helped her develop the poise and athleticism necessary for the ring girl role.
Ayers is quickly becoming a familiar face in boxing circles thanks to her energy, style, and online influence.
The Hunt for a Third Ring Girl
MVP Promotions isn’t finished yet. The search for a third ring girl continues, with the company specifically targeting models in the UK.
The opportunity includes a trip to Miami to join the high-profile event.
“Anthony Joshua is one of the biggest superstars in UK boxing,” MVP wrote.
“If you’ve ever dreamed of being part of a global event, this is your moment.”
The call to UK hopefuls emphasizes that the third ring girl must be based in the country.
Sydney Thomas: A Cautionary Tale of Overnight Fame
Fans may remember Sydney Thomas, a ring girl at the Paul vs Tyson fight last year, who became a viral sensation after the event.
Her popularity soared, earning her invitations to high-profile gatherings like the Grammys, but Thomas admitted the attention could be overwhelming.
“People come up to me asking for pictures all the time.
It’s been an adjustment,” she told The Daily Mail at Sports Illustrated’s Super Bowl party.
“I never thought I’d be in this position.
It’s great, but also a little overwhelming.”
More Than Just a Fight
With Joshua and Paul in the ring, plus a lineup of eye-catching ring girls and a global audience watching on Netflix, the Miami event promises to be as much spectacle as sport.
Between the pugilistic showdown and the social media buzz, fans can expect a night full of drama, flair, and unforgettable moments.
