Tiara Brown and Oshae Jones are slated to risk their world championship belts in a high‑profile showdown on June 13 at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida. The event, promoted by Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), will feature the two champions taking on challengers Hannah Rapp and Elia Carranza in what promises to be an exciting night for women's boxing.
Featherweight champion Tiara Brown, who currently holds the WBC title, will step into the ring against American contender Hannah Rapp. Brown, who earned her belt after defeating former champion Skye Nicolson, has been linked to a potential future bout with Britain’s rising star Ellie Scotney.
Speaking ahead of the fight, Brown emphasized her determination to prove her worth on the global stage. “I’m going to show the world why I should never be overlooked and taken lightly,” she declared, underscoring the confidence that has propelled her to the top of the division. In the super‑welterweight division, IBF title‑holder Oshae Jones will meet Elia Carranza in a rematch. Jones, an Olympic bronze medalist, secured a split‑decision victory over Carranza last year, making the upcoming contest a chance for both fighters to settle the score.
Jones expressed the broader significance of the bout, noting that it is about more than personal glory. “This isn’t just another fight for me; it’s a moment to help elevate the sport, inspire the next generation, and create opportunities that will change countless lives. I’m proud to be part of something that is pushing women’s boxing to new heights and making history,” she said.
The MVP card also includes a third world‑title defense from Tampa‑based WBA super‑flyweight champion Jasmine "Animal" Artiga. Artiga, known for her aggressive style and nickname that reflects her tenacity, will defend her title against an opponent yet to be announced, adding an element of intrigue to the evening. Rounding out the main event is a unification bout featuring Argentina’s WBO, WBA, and IBF light‑flyweight champion Evelin Bermudez.
Bermudez will make her promotional debut for MVP as she faces Mexico’s IBF No. 1 contender Estefany Alegría. The matchup pits a seasoned champion against a hungry challenger, promising a tactical battle that could reshape the rankings in the light‑flyweight division.
The undercard showcases a blend of emerging talent and seasoned fighters. MVP’s undefeated Brazilian boxer and social‑media influencer Jully Poca, who holds the record for the most followers among active female boxers worldwide, will make her professional debut.
Poca’s transition from amateur standout to professional contender has generated considerable buzz, especially given her massive online presence and ability to draw new fans to the sport. Also featured on the undercard is two‑time Brazilian Olympian Keno Marley, another rising star who will be looking to make a strong impression in his professional debut.
In addition, Boxlab Promotions will present undefeated prospects Gabriela Tellez and Jordan Orozco Hernandez, both of whom have compiled impressive amateur résumés and are eager to prove themselves on a larger stage. Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, co‑founders of Most Valuable Promotions, hailed the event as a defining moment for women’s boxing.
“MVPW‑04 is another powerful statement from MVP as the definitive global powerhouse in women’s boxing, as we continue to showcase the deepest, most elite roster in the sport,” they said. They added that the card exemplifies the promotion’s mission: “This card embodies exactly what MVPW was built for: high‑stakes, world‑championship matchups featuring the best fighting the best.” The promoters also highlighted the international flavor of the event, noting the spotlight on Brazil’s burgeoning boxing scene.
“This event also proudly shines an international spotlight on Brazil’s boxing scene, featuring the highly anticipated professional debut of Jully Poca and the return of two‑time Olympian Keno Marley,” Paul and Bidarian explained. The inclusion of Brazilian talent underscores MVP’s commitment to expanding the sport’s reach beyond traditional markets.
