Mayelli Flores, fresh from her electrifying bout for the undisputed championship against Ellie Scotney, has officially entered the roster of Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP). In tandem, Irma Garcia—who secured a knockout victory over Emma Dolan to retain the IBF super‑flyweight belt on the same evening—has also signed on with the promotion. Their contracts join those of unified light‑flyweight champion Evelin Bermudez (holding the WBO, WBA and IBF titles), Mexican WBC light‑flyweight champion Lourdes Juárez, and American bantamweight contender Brittany Sims, creating a formidable cohort of women’s boxing talent under the MVP banner. 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. After an early career that featured a razor‑thin world title challenge against Yulihan Luna, Flores captured the WBA 122‑pound crown in May of last year by edging out Nazarena Romero in a split‑decision victory in Kissimmee, Florida. At 33, she is celebrated for her durability, stamina, and willingness to trade blows in the pocket, proudly representing Mexico 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 showdown for the undisputed world title, delivering a fight that many described as an instant classic. Irma "La Torbellino" Garcia brings a uniquely diverse background to the ring.
In addition to being a professional boxer, she serves as an attorney, a police officer, and a member of the Secretariat of Citizen Security for Mexico City. Inside the squared circle, Garcia has already secured two world championships: she previously captured the WBA bantamweight title at 118 pounds and now holds the IBF super‑flyweight crown.
Her most recent defense came against top‑ranked challenger Emma Dolan on the MVPW‑01 main card, where Garcia knocked Dolan down twice before finishing her with a third‑round technical knockout. After the victory, Garcia expressed her gratitude, 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 influx of talent does not stop with Flores and Garcia. MVP co‑founders Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian highlighted the strategic importance of these signings, noting that Evelin Bermudez, Lourdes Juárez, Irma Garcia, Mayelli Flores, Brittany Sims, and rising star Roxy together form the core pillars of the promotion. They emphasized that the new contracts represent a decisive step toward establishing MVP as the premier global home for women’s boxing. By deepening investment in key markets such as Argentina, Mexico, and the United States, MVP aims to assemble a roster of elite athletes and generate matchups that fans worldwide crave, thereby elevating the sport on an international stage.
Looking ahead, MVP has already outlined a busy schedule. Lourdes Juárez is slated to make her promotional debut on the quadruple‑championship main card of MVPW‑03, set for Saturday, May 30. This event promises to showcase multiple title fights and further cement MVP’s reputation as a hub for high‑profile women’s boxing.
