SHADASIA GREEN will use Jake Paul’s $250,000 bonus to relocate her family – and treat them to a day out at the waterpark.
Green beat Britain’s Savannah Marshall in New York on the undercard of Katie Taylor’s trilogy win over Amanda Serrano earlier in June.
And underdog Green – who became unified IBF and WBO super-middleweight world champion – won performance of the night.
Paul and Nakisa Bidarian – co-founders of Most Valuable Promotions – awarded her with the $250,000 bonus alongside Muhammad Ali’s daughter Laila.
Green, 35, plans to spend the money on moving to a safer part of New Jersey alongside her wife and young daughter.
“I’ve been house hunting prior to the fight,” Green told SunSport while revealing she does not spend on fancy cars or jewellery.
“I had talked with my agent and my mortgage guy after I won the bonus and said, ‘Listen, whatever I need to do to make it happen, I need to make it happen.’
“I have a wife and a daughter and my nieces and nephews are always over. It’s funny, I’m a fighter, but I hang with a bunch of toddlers.
“I had my nieces and my nephew over two days ago. They begged me to come over and we played a game and just watched the fight.
“I wanna give back to my family because family is everything to me. I don’t buy jewellery. I have a 2014 Sonata that I really love. It gets me to the gym, it rides smooth.
“I keep fixing it. I gave my wife the Jeep and there’s other things in life that I admire and that I prioritize and that’s exactly what I’m gonna do with that bonus.”
Green – from Paterson – wants to stay in New Jersey to be beside her family. “I wanna be a part of my nieces and nephew’s lives,” she said.
“I wanna go to graduations. I wanna go to birthday parties. I wanna go to dances.
“I had to sacrifice a lot at this camp. I missed a lot. I missed my nephew’s graduation.
“So I don’t want to miss too many of those moments and they’re right now they’re located here so that’s where I’m gonna be.”
Green – who got married in 2022 – is also going to leave aside enough money to take her family and friends on a day out to the waterpark.
“I’m thinking about Kalahari,” she revealed with a smile.
“I’m planning it now. It’s an indoor water park because it’s supposed to rain all week. So, we’re gonna have a blast.
“It’s about six or seven of them, you know, I got two little girls. I’ll let my daughter bring one of her friends and me and my wife, we’re gonna have our hands full.”
Green burst onto the scene with victory over Marshall and knows July 11 will go down as the night life would never be the same.
“It’s definitely changed my life in more ways than one,” she said.
