Mayelli Flores, fresh from an electrifying undisputed championship showdown with Ellie Scotney, has officially inked a deal with Jake Paul’s promotion company, Most Valuable Promotions (MVP). In the same event, Irma Garcia—who secured a knockout victory over Emma Dolan while defending her IBF super‑flyweight belt—also joined the MVP stable. Their signings come alongside a growing roster that now includes unified light‑flyweight champion Evelin Bermúdez (holder of 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 4'11" and turned professional in 2014. Over the past decade she has cultivated a reputation for relentless pressure and a high‑volume punching style that overwhelms opponents. Early in her career she earned a reputation as a tough contender, notably challenging Yulihan Luna for a world title in a closely contested bout.
Her breakthrough arrived in May of last year when she traveled to Kissimmee, Florida, and out‑pointed Nazarena Romero by split decision to capture the WBA 122‑pound crown. At 33, Flores is celebrated for her durability, stamina, and willingness to trade blows in the center of the ring, proudly representing Mexico as she climbs the ranks of 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 that determined the undisputed world champion. The fight was an instant classic, showcasing Flores’s signature pressure and heart. After the bout, MVP co‑founders Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian highlighted her signing as a pivotal moment for the promotion’s women’s division, emphasizing the company’s commitment to building a global platform for female fighters. Irma "La Torbellino" Garcia brings a unique blend of talents to MVP.
Outside the ropes she is an attorney, a police officer, and a member of the Secretariat of Citizen Security of Mexico City. Inside the ring she has already captured two world titles: the WBA bantamweight crown at 118 pounds and the current IBF super‑flyweight belt.
Garcia’s most recent defense came on the same MVPW‑01 card, where she knocked down the No. 1 contender Emma Dolan twice before forcing 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 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 MVP roster now features a mix of established champions and rising stars. Evelin Bermúdez, a unified light‑flyweight champion, brings a wealth of experience from multiple sanctioning bodies.
Lourdes Juárez, the Mexican WBC light‑flyweight champion, adds depth to the Latin American contingent, while Brittany Sims represents the United States as a promising bantamweight contender. Together, these athletes form the backbone of MVP’s vision to become the premier global home for women’s boxing.
Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian explained the strategic importance of these signings: "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. We're proud to provide these athletes the platform, visibility, and opportunities they deserve and look forward to their promotional debuts soon, beginning with Lourdes Juárez on our quadruple‑championship main card at MVPW‑03 on Saturday, May 30." The expansion of MVP’s women’s division reflects a broader trend in boxing toward greater inclusion and visibility for female athletes. With high‑profile signings, increased media coverage, and strategic events scheduled throughout 2026, the promotion aims to showcase compelling matchups that draw both hardcore fans and casual viewers.
The upcoming MVPW‑03 event, featuring a four‑title bout headlined by Juárez, promises to deliver the kind of drama and athletic excellence that has become synonymous with MVP’s brand.

Their impressive records, diverse backgrounds, and championship pedigree enhance MVP’s mission to elevate women’s boxing on a worldwide stage, while providing fans with exciting, high‑quality bouts for years to come.
