MŌRIAH Performs U.S. National Anthem at Jake Paul vs. Julio César Chávez Jr. Fight

In an unforgettable display of unity and mutual respect, acclaimed recording artist MŌRIAH took center ring to perform the U.S. National Anthem ahead of the highly anticipated boxing match between Jake Paul and Julio César Chávez Jr. at the Gila River Arena in Arizona. Moments earlier, Mexican superstar Ana Bárbara had delivered a stirring rendition of the Mexican National Anthem. What followed was a moving gesture that left a lasting impression on viewers across North America.
As MŌRIAH reached the final line of "The Star-Spangled Banner"-the iconic phrase "home of the brave"-she extended her hand to Ana Bárbara, inviting her to stand beside her. The two artists stood together before a packed arena and millions watching on Pay-Per-View, symbolizing a powerful act of cultural solidarity amid a bout that featured fighters from both nations.
MŌRIAH (formerly known as MŌRIAH Peters) is an acclaimed singer, songwriter, and actress known for her dynamic voice, emotional depth, and empowering messages of faith, unity, and hope. A bilingual Mexican-American artist, she first rose to prominence with her debut album I Choose Jesus and went on to co-found the alternative-pop duo TRALA. With a background in both English and Spanish music markets, MŌRIAH is passionate about building bridges across cultures and generations through music. Her recent work includes cinematic solo releases and contributions to soundtracks and visual projects, highlighting her commitment to storytelling and artistry.
Ana Bárbara, known as "La Reina Grupera," is one of Mexico's most celebrated musical icons. With a decades-long career spanning Latin pop, regional Mexican, and grupera music, she has won multiple Latin Grammy Awards and is recognized for her powerful voice, songwriting, and enduring influence in Latin American music. Bárbara's performance of Mexico's National Anthem added patriotic weight to the evening, as fans from both sides of the border tuned in.
The moment between MŌRIAH and Ana Bárbara transcended sports or entertainment. It was a visual and vocal tribute to the strength that comes when people stand together across borders-an anthem not just of nations, but of unity.
