Journi Carr completes the ring-girl trio for Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua, joining Raphaela Milagres and Marissa Ayers. The high-profile line-up will amplify pre-fight publicity and social buzz, likely drawing extra casual bettors and raising turnover on fight-night prop markets — punters might see sharper odds and increased activity favoring the more heavily backed, higher-profile fighter.
Journi Carr confirmed as final ring girl for Paul vs Joshua
Journi Carr, a 25-year-old model and influencer based in Dallas, Texas, has been confirmed as the third ring girl for the blockbuster Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua clash. Carr, who boasts more than 400,000 Instagram followers, announced her role in a parody press-conference video ahead of the high-value bout.
Who is Journi Carr?
Carr is a US-based model and social-media personality who uses her platform to showcase fashion and lifestyle content. Her involvement closes a public search for a replacement after a UK-based candidate was sought for the role. The appointment adds further star power to the undercard presentation.
Experienced pair: Raphaela Milagres and Marissa Ayers
Raphaela Milagres, 30, is the most experienced of the trio, having served as ring card holder at major boxing events, including Katie Taylor vs Amanda Serrano and previous Jake Paul fights against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr and Mike Tyson. Marissa Ayers, 22, a former gymnast with a strong social-media following, joined Paul’s camp in May and has already appeared on high-profile fight teams this year.
Why the late change?
Katie Williams had been due to complete the lineup but was unable to remain in the role when this fight with Anthony Joshua was finalised. Organisers opened applications for a UK-based model last month, but ultimately selected Carr to join Milagres and Ayers for the event.
Pre-fight build-up and public reaction
The three ring girls appeared together at a pre-fight press conference and presented a united promotional front, generating additional attention ahead of fight night. Their combined social reach is expected to amplify promotional activity across platforms and attract casual interest.
Betting implications and what punters should watch
While ring-girl appointments do not change ring dynamics, the added publicity can affect betting markets by bringing more casual bettors and higher social-media-driven turnover. Expect increased activity in prop markets (viewership, attendance, novelty bets) and potentially sharper odds for the more public-facing fighter as attention and bets cluster around headline names.
What this means for fight night
The confirmed trio adds spectacle to the event build-up and underscores the commercial scale of the contest. Beyond aesthetics, the expanded visibility helps drive engagement — a factor bookmakers watch closely as it can move lines and increase liquidity across markets.
