While Anthony Joshua dominated the headlines Friday night, social media found a different star at the Kaseya Center: ringside reporter Sibley Scoles.
The Emmy-winning broadcaster became an instant viral sensation during Netflix’s global broadcast of the heavyweight clash, with fans across X and Instagram praising her high-energy delivery, glamorous ringside style, and poised interviews with stars like Tekashi 6ix9ine.
Scoles, a veteran of live television, is no stranger to the spotlight. Known to sports fans as the in-game host for the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium, she has also served as a red carpet correspondent for “E! News” and “Access Hollywood.”
Viewers quickly took to social media to identify the “glamorous reporter,” with her name trending alongside the main event. For many, Scoles provided a polished contrast to a chaotic night that saw Paul suffer his first career knockout and a suspected broken jaw.
“Sibley Scoles is the real MVP of this broadcast,” one viral post on X read. Others noted her ability to maintain control during a broadcast projected to reach more than 60 million viewers worldwide.
Scoles’ career began in music before she became the first female host for Revolt TV in 2011. Since then, she has covered major events including the Super Bowl and the Pro Bowl. Friday’s appearance marked her second major collaboration with Netflix following her work on the Paul vs. Mike Tyson event earlier this year.
By the end of the night, Scoles’ social media following saw a significant surge, proving that even in a ring full of heavyweights, a commanding presence behind the microphone can still land the biggest blow of the evening.
Flip pages for photos of Scoles, you won’t be disappointed.
