Mayelli Flores, fresh off an electrifying undisputed championship bout against Ellie Scotney, has officially entered the roster of Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP). In a parallel move, Irma Garcia—who secured a third‑round technical knockout over Emma Dolan to retain her IBF super‑flyweight crown on the same evening—has also signed with MVP.
Their additions join a growing stable that already includes unified light‑flyweight champion Evelin Bermudez (holding the WBO, WBA and IBF belts), Mexican WBC light‑flyweight champion Lourdes Juárez, and American bantamweight contender Brittany Sims. Flores hails from Mexico City and carries the legacy of a former WBA super‑bantamweight world champion.
The 4‑foot‑11‑inch fighter turned professional in 2014 and quickly earned a reputation for relentless pressure and a high‑volume punching style. Early in her career she flirted with world‑title glory in a close contest against Yulihan Luna, and a year later, in May of the previous season, she captured the WBA 122‑pound belt by edging out Nazarena Romero via split decision in Kissimmee, Florida. At 33, Flores is celebrated for her durability, stamina and a fearless willingness to trade blows in the center of the ring.
She proudly represents Mexico and continues to climb the ranks of the sport’s elite. Her MVP debut came on the inaugural MVPW‑01 card, where she faced Ellie Scotney in a double‑main‑event showdown for the undisputed world title, delivering an instant classic that left fans buzzing.
Irma "La Torbellino" Garcia brings a multifaceted background to the sport. Outside the ropes she serves as an attorney, a police officer, and a member of the Secretariat of Citizen Security for Mexico City. Inside the ring she is a two‑time world champion, having first captured the WBA bantamweight title at 118 pounds and later adding the IBF super‑flyweight belt to her résumé. Her most recent defense came against the top‑ranked mandatory challenger Emma Dolan on the MVPW‑01 main card, where she knocked Dolan down twice before finishing her with a third‑round TKO.
After the victory, Garcia praised MVP, saying, "I feel very happy for this great opportunity that Most Valuable Promotions has given us. Without a doubt, being part of their roster of fighters helps position me to establish myself among the best in the world, and I know that with their support we will achieve the world title unification.
Thank you, MVP, for believing in my discipline, talent, and experience. We're going to keep making history." The signings of Flores, Garcia, Bermudez, Juárez and Sims underscore MVP’s strategic push to become the premier home for women’s boxing on a global scale. Co‑founders Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian highlighted the importance of these moves, stating, "Evelin, Lourdes, Irma, Mayelli, Brittany, and Roxy represent the pillars of MVP, as reigning world champions, top‑ranked contenders, and next‑generation stars.
Together, these signings mark a major step forward in cementing MVP as the global home of women's boxing. By deepening our investment in Argentina, Mexico, and the US, we're not only building a roster of elite talent, but also creating the matchups fans want to see, elevating the sport on a global scale." Looking ahead, MVP has already mapped out a series of high‑profile events. The next major showcase, MVPW‑03, is slated for Saturday, May 30, and will feature Lourdes Juárez in a quadruple‑championship main card, further solidifying the promotion’s commitment to delivering marquee fights across weight classes and borders.
The organization also encourages fans to use Chrome for an optimal video‑player experience, ensuring that the growing audience can enjoy seamless streaming of these historic bouts. Beyond the immediate excitement of the signings, these developments signal a broader shift in the boxing landscape. Women’s boxing, once relegated to the periphery of major promotions, is now receiving unprecedented investment and visibility. MVP’s aggressive recruitment of top talent from Mexico, Argentina and the United States reflects a recognition that the sport’s future lies in diverse, international representation.
By providing athletes like Flores and Garcia with a platform that offers both promotional support and global exposure, MVP is fostering a new era where female fighters can pursue lucrative, high‑profile careers on par with their male counterparts. For fans, the implications are clear: more frequent, high‑stakes matchups, increased access to live streams, and the chance to follow the careers of champions as they navigate title unifications and cross‑promotional challenges.
For the fighters, the partnership with MVP promises enhanced training resources, marketing muscle, and the backing of a brand that is rapidly becoming synonymous with cutting‑edge boxing entertainment. In summary, the recent additions of Mayelli Flores and Irma Garcia to Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions mark a pivotal moment for both the athletes and the promotion. Their impressive resumes, combined with MVP’s ambitious event schedule and commitment to showcasing women’s boxing worldwide, set the stage for a dynamic and exciting future. As the organization continues to expand its roster and deliver compelling fight cards, fans can anticipate a surge of memorable moments, historic title fights, and the continued rise of female boxing stars on the global stage.
