Mayelli Flores, fresh from her electrifying undisputed championship bout against Ellie Scotney, has officially entered the roster of Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP). Joining her is Irma Garcia, who earlier in the evening secured a third‑round technical knockout over Emma Dolan to retain the IBF super‑flyweight belt, and has also signed with the same promoter. Their contracts arrive alongside those of unified light‑flyweight champion Evelin Bermúdez (holder of the WBO, WBA and IBF titles), Mexican WBC light‑flyweight champion Lourdes Juárez, and American bantamweight contender Brittany Sims. Flores, a former WBA super‑bantamweight world champion hailing from Mexico City, stands at just 4 feet 11 inches tall.
She turned pro in 2014 and quickly earned a reputation for relentless pressure and a high volume of punches. Early in her career she narrowly missed a world title against Yulihan Luna, but she rebounded by out‑pointing Nazarena Romero via split decision in Kissimmee, Florida, to capture the WBA 122‑pound crown in May of the previous year. The 33‑year‑old fighter is celebrated for her durability, stamina and willingness to engage in close‑quarters combat, qualities that have made her a proud representative of Mexican boxing and a rising star among the sport’s elite.
Flores made her MVP debut on the inaugural MVPW‑01 card, where she faced Ellie Scotney in a double‑main‑event showdown for the undisputed world title. The bout lived up to its billing, delivering an instant classic that highlighted Flores’s aggressive style and her ability to absorb and return punishment.
Her performance underscored why MVP sees her as a cornerstone of its women’s division. Irma "La Torbellino" Garcia brings a unique blend of professional experience inside and outside the ring. In addition to being a licensed attorney and a police officer with the Secretariat of Citizen Security of Mexico City, she is a two‑time world champion.
Garcia first captured the WBA bantamweight title at 118 pounds and later added the IBF super‑flyweight championship to her résumé. On the same MVPW‑01 event, she defended her IBF belt against top‑ranked challenger Emma Dolan, knocking her down twice before forcing a third‑round TKO.
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." MVP co‑founders Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian framed these signings as a strategic push to make MVP the global hub for women’s boxing. They highlighted the collective strength of the new roster: "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." The promotion’s vision extends beyond signing talent; it includes delivering high‑profile events that showcase these athletes. The next major milestone will be the quadruple‑championship main card at MVPW‑03, scheduled for Saturday, May 30, where Lourdes Juárez is set to make her promotional debut. This event aims to feature multiple title fights on a single night, offering fans a condensed showcase of the sport’s best female fighters.
In addition to the live events, MVP is leveraging digital platforms to broaden its reach. Fans are encouraged to stream fights contract‑free via the NOW service, listen to the weekly Toe2Toe podcast for insider analysis, and access a curated library of boxing highlights and videos.
The promotion also recommends using the Chrome browser for the most accessible video player experience, ensuring that viewers can enjoy the action without technical hurdles. Overall, the influx of talent like Flores, Garcia, Bermúdez, Juárez and Sims signals a new era for MVP, one where women’s boxing receives the investment, visibility and competitive matchups it deserves.
By aligning with athletes who embody both skill and compelling personal narratives, MVP is positioning itself as a catalyst for growth in the sport, promising fans a future filled with exciting bouts, historic unifications and a deeper global appreciation for female pugilists.
