Mayeli Flores, fresh off an electrifying undisputed title bout against Ellie Scotney, has officially entered into a contract with Jake Paul’s promotion company, Most Valuable Promotions (MVP). In the same event, Irma "La Torbellino" Garcia—who secured a knockout victory over Emma Dolan to retain her IBF super‑flyweight belt—also announced her partnership with MVP. These two signings join a growing stable that already includes unified light‑flyweight champion Evelin Bermúdez (holding the WBO, WBA and IBF titles), Mexican WBC light‑flyweight champion Lourdes Juárez, and American bantamweight contender Brittany Sims.
Flores hails from Mexico City and previously held the WBA super‑bantamweight world championship. The 4‑foot‑11‑inch fighter turned pro in 2014 and quickly earned a reputation for relentless pressure, high punch output, and an aggressive fighting style that keeps opponents on the defensive. Early in her career she earned a narrow loss in a world‑title attempt against Yulihan Luna, but she rebounded by capturing the WBA 122‑pound crown in May of last year with a split‑decision win over Nazarena Romero in Kissimmee, Florida.
At 33, Flores is celebrated for her durability, stamina, and willingness to engage in the center of the ring, qualities that have made her a fan favorite and a proud representative of Mexican boxing. Her debut under the MVP banner took place on the inaugural MVPW‑01 card, where she faced Ellie Scotney in a double‑main‑event showdown for the undisputed world title. The fight was billed as an instant classic, showcasing Flores’ trademark pressure and punching volume.
Although the bout’s outcome is not detailed here, the exposure on a globally streamed platform helped cement her status among the sport’s elite and introduced her to a broader international audience. Irma Garcia brings a unique résumé to MVP.
In addition to being a professional boxer, she works as an attorney, a police officer, and serves on the Secretariat of Citizen Security for Mexico City. In the ring, she is a two‑time world champion, having previously captured the WBA bantamweight title at 118 pounds before moving up to claim the IBF super‑flyweight championship.
Her most recent defense came on the same MVPW‑01 card, where she faced the mandatory challenger Emma Dolan. Garcia dominated the fight, knocking Dolan down twice before securing a third‑round technical knockout. After the victory, Garcia expressed her gratitude, stating, "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 expansion of MVP’s women’s division was highlighted by co‑founders Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, who praised the new signings as "the pillars of MVP, as reigning world champions, top‑ranked contenders, and next‑generation stars." They emphasized that the addition of Flores, Garcia, Bermúdez, Juárez, Sims, and upcoming prospect Roxy signals a strategic push to make MVP the premier global home for women’s boxing. By deepening investment in key markets such as Argentina, Mexico, and the United States, MVP aims to assemble elite talent and create match‑ups that fans crave, thereby raising the sport’s profile worldwide. Looking ahead, MVP has already scheduled Lourdes Juárez’s promotional debut for the quadruple‑championship main card of MVPW‑03, set for Saturday, May 30.
This event will feature four world titles on the line, underscoring MVP’s commitment to delivering high‑stakes, marquee fights. The organization’s broader vision includes leveraging streaming platforms—such as the "NOW" service—to provide contract‑free access to boxing events, expanding viewership beyond traditional pay‑per‑view models.
Beyond the fights themselves, MVP is positioning itself as a hub for boxing culture. The promotion encourages fans to engage with supplemental content, including the weekly "Toe2Toe" podcast and curated highlight reels that showcase the sport’s most compelling moments.
By offering a more accessible video player—optimally viewed in Chrome—the company seeks to enhance the viewing experience for a global audience. In summary, the recent signings of Mayeli Flores and Irma Garcia mark a significant milestone for MVP and for women’s boxing at large. Both athletes bring impressive résumés, national pride, and a hunger for further accomplishment. Their partnership with Jake Paul’s promotion promises increased visibility, higher‑profile match‑ups, and the potential for historic unification bouts.
As MVP continues to build its roster and schedule landmark events, fans can anticipate a new era of excitement and growth for the sport, with Mexico, the United States, and Argentina serving as key pillars of this emerging powerhouse.
