Mayelli Flores, fresh from her electrifying undisputed championship showdown with Ellie Scotney, has officially entered the roster of Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP). Alongside her, Irma Garcia—who secured a knockout victory over Emma Dolan to retain the IBF super‑flyweight belt on the same evening—has also become an MVP fighter.
These two signings join a growing stable that already 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. The influx of talent underscores MVP’s ambition to become the premier home for women’s boxing worldwide.
Flores hails from Mexico City and is a former WBA super‑bantamweight world champion. The 4‑foot‑11‑inch pugilist turned professional in 2014 and quickly earned a reputation for relentless pressure, high punch output, and an unyielding willingness to engage in the thick of the action. Early in her career she earned a narrow loss in a world‑title bid against Yulihan Luna, but she rebounded by traveling to Kissimmee, Florida, where she out‑pointed Nazarena Romero via split decision to capture the WBA 122‑pound crown in May of the previous year.
Now 33, Flores is celebrated for her durability, stamina, and ferocious inside fighting style. She proudly carries the Mexican flag as she climbs the ranks of the sport’s elite. 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 contest was billed as an instant classic, showcasing Flores’s trademark aggression and technical skill. Irma "La Torbellino" Garcia brings a uniquely diverse background to the ring. In addition to being a professional boxer, she works as an attorney, serves as a police officer, and holds a position within the Secretariat of Citizen Security of Mexico City. Her boxing résumé includes two world championships: a former WBA bantamweight title at 118 lb and the current IBF super‑flyweight crown.
Garcia’s most recent defense came against top‑ranked challenger Emma Dolan on the MVPW‑01 main card, where she knocked Dolan down twice before finishing her with a third‑round technical knockout. Speaking after her victory, Garcia expressed gratitude for the opportunity provided by 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." MVP co‑founders Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul highlighted 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." The promoters also announced that the next promotional debut will feature Lourdes Juárez on the quadruple‑championship main card of MVPW‑03, scheduled for Saturday, May 30. This event is expected to further showcase MVP’s commitment to delivering high‑profile, cross‑border bouts that attract both hardcore enthusiasts and casual viewers.
Beyond the immediate fight announcements, MVP is positioning itself as a digital‑first platform, encouraging fans to stream events via Chrome for the best video experience. The organization also promotes ancillary content such as the weekly Toe2Toe podcast, which delves into fighter interviews, fight analysis, and behind‑the‑scenes insights, as well as a curated library of boxing highlights and instructional videos.
In summary, the addition of Mayelli Flores and Irma Garcia to Jake Paul’s MVP roster signals a decisive push to dominate the women’s boxing market. With a blend of seasoned champions, rising contenders, and a robust multimedia strategy, MVP aims to elevate the sport’s visibility, provide fighters with the exposure they deserve, and deliver compelling matchups that resonate with a global audience.
