Mayeli Flores, fresh off an electrifying undisputed title showdown with Ellie Scotney, has officially joined Jake Paul’s promotional outfit, Most Valuable Promotions (MVP). In the same event, Irma Garcia—who secured a knockout victory over Emma Dolan to retain her IBF super‑flyweight belt—also inked a deal with MVP. Their signings come alongside a growing stable that already includes unified light‑flyweight champion Evelin Bermúdez (holding the WBO, WBA and IBF titles), Mexico’s 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 but has built a reputation for relentless pressure and high‑volume punching.
She turned professional in 2014 and quickly earned a reputation as a fighter who thrives in the thick of the action. After an early career highlight—a razor‑thin world‑title attempt against Yulihan Luna—Flores captured the WBA 122‑pound crown in May of last year by edging out Nazarena Romero via split decision in Kissimmee, Florida. At 33, the Mexican pugilist is celebrated for her durability, stamina and willingness to trade blows in the pocket, qualities that have endeared her to fans and promoters alike. Her MVP debut arrived on the inaugural MVPW‑01 card, where she faced Ellie Scotney in a double‑main‑event bout for the undisputed world title.
The fight lived up to its billing, delivering an instant classic that showcased Flores’s ferocity and technical skill. The victory further cemented her status as one of the sport’s rising elite and underscored MVP’s commitment to showcasing top‑tier women’s boxing. Irma "La Torbellino" Garcia brings a multifaceted background to the ring.
In addition to her boxing credentials—two‑time world champion, former WBA bantamweight titleholder at 118 lbs and current IBF super‑flyweight champion—she serves as an attorney, police officer and member of Mexico City’s Secretariat of Citizen Security. Garcia’s most recent performance on the MVPW‑01 card saw her defend her IBF title against top‑ranked challenger Emma Dolan. She dropped Dolan twice before forcing a third‑round technical knockout, a display of power and precision that left fans buzzing. After the fight, Garcia expressed gratitude for the opportunity to join MVP: “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.” They noted that the inclusion of Evelin Bermúdez, Lourdes Juárez, Irma Garcia, Mayeli Flores, Brittany Sims and rising star Roxy signals a strategic push to make MVP the premier global home for women’s boxing. By deepening investments in key markets such as Argentina, Mexico and the United States, MVP aims to assemble a roster of elite talent and craft match‑ups that fans crave, thereby elevating the sport on an international stage.
Looking ahead, MVP has already slated promotional debuts for its newest champions. Lourdes Juárez is set to appear on the quadruple‑championship main card at MVPW‑03, scheduled for Saturday, May 30. The event promises to feature multiple title fights, further showcasing the depth and diversity of MVP’s women’s division. Beyond the fights themselves, MVP is encouraging fans to use the Chrome browser for an optimized video‑player experience, ensuring that the high‑definition streams run smoothly across devices.
The promotion also promotes ancillary content such as the “Toe2Toe” podcast, which delivers weekly boxing analysis, and a curated collection of highlights and videos that capture the sport’s most memorable moments. In summary, the recent signings of Mayeli Flores and Irma Garcia mark a significant milestone for MVP’s ambition to become the central hub for women’s boxing worldwide.
Both athletes bring impressive résumés, distinctive personalities and a hunger for further success. With a growing lineup of world champions and top contenders, MVP is poised to deliver compelling bouts, foster talent development, and expand the global reach of the sport.
Fans can look forward to a series of high‑profile events, increased visibility for female fighters, and a continued rise in the popularity of women’s boxing under the MVP banner.
