The Dutch Olympic speed skater was all confidence as she and her boyfriend Jake Paul arrived at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
Jutta Leerdam wore a revealing thigh-high slit dress to the Mike Tyson fight, and netizens didn't hold back their thoughts, as some questioned her bold fashion choice.

Paul defeated the boxing icon, Tyson, at the AT&T Stadium by a unanimous decision. He celebrated his win on Instagram by sharing pictures from the fight, which he captioned, "W," to signify his great victory.
However, it was his girlfriend, Leerdam, who stole the show in a white dress that left little to the imagination. The dress, adorned with glitters, had a thigh-high slit as well as a plunging neckline.

Others took issue with practicality, as a netizen stated, "How can she dress like that? She can't sit down," and another remarked, "Her dress ughhh [sic]." Critics didn't hold back, with one writing, "Ridiculous- she forgot to get dressed."
On the other hand, some fans admired her daring look, exclaiming, "She just looks so stunning," and another praising her, "Fantastic dress!" A fan enthusiastically shared their approval, "I love that dress 🔥," showing support for her bold style.

Just like Jake Paul, Leerdam is a superstar in the sports world. Born in the Netherlands, Leerdam grew up skating on local tracks in her hometown of 's-Gravenzande. A former field hockey player, she discovered her passion for speed skating at 11, racing across frozen surfaces with determination.
Her breakthrough came in 2020 when, despite an injury, she claimed her first major individual title at the European Championships for the 1000m category. That same year, she contributed to the Dutch team's victory in the Team Sprint at the World Single Distances Championships in Salt Lake City. The team clinched gold in the 1000m event.

Now a six-time world champion, Leerdam believes she hasn't yet reached her full potential. Her silver medal at the Beijing 2022 Games cemented her reputation as a top skater in the 1000m.

However, she continues striving for the high standards she has set for herself. Leerdam is poised to dominate the 1000m event this season as she targets gold at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games.
The couple went public with their relationship in April 2023, with the boxer sharing two photos on Instagram. In one, the pair looked like the perfect workout partners as they went for a run.

Since making their relationship public, Leerdam and Paul have frequently shared glimpses of their love online. In April 2024, the couple celebrated their first anniversary. Leerdam marked the occasion with a heartfelt post, writing, "I adore you, I'm so grateful for you, you make me the happiest girl in the world. The man with the best heart. Let’s never stop dancing, baby."

Other clips included a tender embrace by the pool and a passionate kiss underwater while scuba diving. Their celebration was a touching tribute to their bond, a connection that remained evident as Leerdam stood by Paul's side during his preparation for the Tyson fight and celebrated his victory afterward.
Before Paul's highly anticipated fight with Tyson, Leerdam shared an intimate clip on Instagram that quickly garnered attention. In the video, the couple appeared loved-up, sharing sweet moments. Paul, holding his girlfriend closely by the hips, kissed her as they posed together. She complimented him, "You look so good, baby." With confidence, he responded, "Let's go."

The couple exuded excitement, with Leerdam adding, "We are ready," to which Paul lovingly remarked, "Our kids are going to watch this one day." The clip, filled with affection and anticipation, showed the couple’s strong bond ahead of the big fight.
After Paul's fight with Tyson, his girlfriend took to Instagram to celebrate the scale of the event and his win. She noted that selling out the AT&T Stadium and making waves by "crashing Netflix" alongside a legend like Tyson was an incredible achievement.
