Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart’s rumored girlfriend, Marissa Ayers, nearly stole the spotlight as a ring girl for the Jake Paul-Anthony Joshua fight in Miami on Friday night.
Ayers, who is a social media influencer and a model, was in the ring for the 8 p.m. Jahmal Harvey-Kevin Cervantes bout at Kaseya Center, Miami, where the main card is streaming live on Netflix.
Ayers was also involved in the first-ever MVP Fight House with Most Valuable Promotions, Paul’s company, which was a precursor to the main event.
“For the first time in boxing, an entire creator squad will be locked in under one roof in Miami as we capture every chaotic, legendary, history-making moment leading into Jake vs Joshua,” MVP announced.
“… Nonstop cameras. Wild personalities. Unfiltered access. A true fight-week content house like the sport has never seen before. We’re changing the game in real time… and yes, we fully plan on breaking the internet with this one.”
Ayers, who graduated from the University of Alabama in May, said she was “beyond excited” in a post on Instagram at the time.
Dart and Ayers were reportedly first linked when they were spotted together at a Halloween party in October.
The model was seen with his mom, Kara, and dad, Brandon, on the sideline at Gillette Stadium during the Giants’ 33-15 loss to the Patriots on “Monday Night Football” on Dec. 1.
Earlier this week, Ayers made waves online when she shared a photo of herself wearing an oversized Giants T-shirt.
Ayers began as a ring girl with MVP in May 2025, according to her TikTok.
The influencer was a ring girl for the Katie Taylor-Amanda Serrano card at Madison Square Garden in July, which aired on Netflix.
The 36-year-old Joshua (28-4 with 25 wins via knockout) — the former two-time unified heavyweight world champion and Olympic gold medalist — is Paul’s toughest opponent to date.
Paul (12-1-0) is an underdog going into the fight.
The eight-round professional heavyweight bout will stream live on Netflix globally.
