Mayelli Flores, fresh off an electrifying undisputed championship showdown with Ellie Scotney, has officially entered the roster of Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP). In the same event, Irma Garcia—who secured a knockout victory over Emma Dolan to retain her IBF super‑flyweight belt—also inked a deal with the up‑and‑coming promoter.
Their signings join a growing stable that already includes unified light‑flyweight champion Evelin Bermudez (holding the WBO, WBA and IBF titles), Mexico’s WBC light‑flyweight champion Lourdes Juárez, and American bantamweight contender Brittany Sims. Flores hails from Mexico City and is a former WBA super‑bantamweight world champion. 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 defeating Nazarena Romero via split decision in Kissimmee, Florida, to capture the WBA 122‑pound crown in May of last year. Known for her durability, stamina and willingness to trade blows in the pocket, the 33‑year‑old Mexican boxer carries a deep sense of national pride as she continues to climb the ranks of the sport’s elite. Her MVP debut came on the inaugural MVPW‑01 card, where she faced Ellie Scotney in a double‑main‑event bout for the undisputed world title—a fight that was instantly hailed as a classic.
Garcia, nicknamed "La Torbellino," wears many hats: she is a professional boxer, an attorney, a police officer, and a member of the Secretariat of Citizen Security of Mexico City. Inside the ring she has already amassed two world championships, first capturing the WBA bantamweight title at 118 pounds and later adding the IBF super‑flyweight championship to her résumé. Her most recent defense came against top‑ranked challenger Emma Dolan on the MVPW‑01 main card, where she knocked Dolan down twice before stopping her in the third round via TKO. After the victory, Garcia expressed her enthusiasm for the partnership, 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 expansion of MVP’s women’s division was highlighted by co‑founders Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, who praised the new signings as "the pillars of MVP, as reigning world champions, top‑ranked contenders, and next‑generation stars." They emphasized that these acquisitions represent a strategic push to make MVP the premier global home for women’s boxing, especially as the company deepens its investment in key markets such as Argentina, Mexico, and the United States.
By assembling a roster that blends established champions with rising prospects, MVP aims to deliver the match‑ups fans crave while elevating the sport’s profile worldwide. Looking ahead, MVP has already slated several high‑profile events. Lourdes Juárez is set to make her promotional debut on the quadruple‑championship main card of MVPW‑03, scheduled for Saturday, May 30. This card will feature multiple title fights across weight classes, showcasing the depth of talent now under the MVP banner.
The organization’s broader strategy includes leveraging digital platforms—such as the NOW streaming service—to provide contract‑free access to fights, as well as promoting ancillary content like the weekly Toe2Toe podcast and curated boxing highlight reels. In summary, the signings of Mayelli Flores and Irma Garcia signal a major step forward for MVP’s women’s boxing division. Both athletes bring impressive resumes, diverse backgrounds, and a fierce competitive spirit that aligns with MVP’s mission to become the leading promoter of women’s boxing on a global stage.
Their upcoming fights, along with those of fellow signees Evelin Bermudez, Lourdes Juárez, Brittany Sims, and Roxy, promise to deliver compelling narratives and high‑octane action for fans worldwide. The partnership with MVP not only offers these fighters greater visibility and promotional support but also positions them to pursue further unification bouts and historic milestones in the sport.
