Mayelli Flores, fresh from an electrifying undisputed championship showdown with Ellie Scotney, has officially joined Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP). In the same event, Irma Garcia—who delivered a decisive knockout of Emma Dolan to retain her IBF super‑flyweight belt—also signed on with MVP. Their contracts come alongside those of other high‑profile fighters: unified light‑flyweight champion Evelin Bermúdez, Mexican WBC light‑flyweight titleholder Lourdes Juárez, and American bantamweight contender Brittany Sims. Flores hails from Mexico City and once held the WBA super‑bantamweight world title.
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 earned a narrow loss in a world‑title bid against Yulihan Luna, but she rebounded by out‑pointing Nazarena Romero in a split‑decision victory in Kissimmee, Florida, capturing the WBA 122‑pound crown in May of last year. At 33, the Mexican star is celebrated for her durability, stamina, and willingness to trade blows in the center of the ring, proudly representing her country as she climbs the ranks of elite women’s boxing.
Flores made her MVP debut at the inaugural MVPW‑01 event, headlining a double‑main‑card bout against Ellie Scotney for the undisputed world title. The fight was billed as an instant classic, showcasing Flores’s trademark aggression and technical skill. Her performance reinforced MVP’s commitment to building a robust women’s division and highlighted the promotion’s growing influence in the sport. Irma "La Torbellino" Garcia brings a uniquely diverse background to the ring.
In addition to being a professional boxer, she serves as an attorney, police officer, and member of the Secretariat of Citizen Security for Mexico City. Inside the squared circle 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 crown.
Garcia most recently defended that title against top‑ranked challenger Emma Dolan on the MVPW‑01 card, knocking Dolan down twice before stopping her in the third round via 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 latest signings also include Evelin Bermúdez, a unified WBO, WBA and IBF light‑flyweight champion from Argentina, and Lourdes Juárez, Mexico’s WBC light‑flyweight champion. Both athletes, along with Brittany Sims, a rising American bantamweight prospect, complete a roster that MVP’s co‑founders Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian describe as "the pillars of MVP." In a recent statement they explained, "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 United States, we are not only building a roster of elite talent but also creating the matchups fans want to see, elevating the sport on a worldwide scale." MVP’s strategic focus on women’s boxing reflects a broader industry trend toward greater visibility and financial support for female athletes. By assembling a stable of world champions and top contenders, the promotion aims to deliver high‑profile title fights that attract mainstream audiences and lucrative broadcast deals. The upcoming MVPW‑03 event, scheduled for Saturday, May 30, will feature Lourdes Juárez in a quadruple‑championship main card, underscoring the promotion’s ambition to showcase multiple title bouts in a single night. Beyond the immediate impact of the signings, the move signals a shift in how boxing promoters are approaching talent acquisition.
Rather than relying solely on traditional regional promoters, MVP is leveraging its celebrity founder’s media reach and financial resources to create a global platform that appeals to both fighters and fans. This approach is expected to generate increased sponsorship opportunities, higher fight purses, and more consistent exposure for women’s boxing across digital and traditional media. For fans seeking to watch these fights, MVP recommends using the Chrome browser for optimal video playback, ensuring a smoother streaming experience. The promotion also encourages viewers to explore its broader content ecosystem, which includes the "Toe2Toe" podcast—delivered weekly—and a curated collection of boxing highlights and videos.
In summary, the addition of Mayelli Flores, Irma Garcia, Evelin Bermúdez, Lourdes Juárez, Brittany Sims, and Roxy to MVP’s roster represents a decisive push to position the organization as the premier destination for women’s boxing worldwide. With a blend of seasoned champions and emerging talent, MVP is set to deliver compelling matchups, elevate the sport’s profile, and provide its athletes with the platform and support needed to achieve historic milestones.
