Mayelli Flores, fresh off an electrifying bout that secured an undisputed championship against Ellie Scotney, has officially entered the roster of Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP). In the same event, Irma Garcia—who delivered a knockout victory over Emma Dolan to retain her IBF super‑flyweight belt—also confirmed her partnership with MVP.
These two signings join a growing stable that already includes unified light‑flyweight champion Evelin Bermúdez (holding the WBO, WBA and IBF titles), Mexican WBC light‑flyweight champion Lourdes Juárez, and American bantamweight contender Brittany Sims. Flores hails from Mexico City and boasts a distinguished career that began in 2014. The 4‑foot‑11‑inch fighter, a former WBA super‑bantamweight world champion, has become known for relentless pressure, high punch output, and an unyielding willingness to trade blows in the center of the ring.
After an early‑career near‑miss in a world‑title challenge against Yulihan Luna, Flores captured the WBA 122‑pound crown in May of last year by edging out Nazarena Romero via split decision in Kissimmee, Florida. At 33, she continues to embody Mexican boxing pride, combining toughness, stamina, and a never‑back‑down attitude that has earned her a place among the sport’s elite. Her MVP debut came on the card labeled MVPW‑01, where she faced Ellie Scotney in a double‑main‑event showdown for an undisputed world title. The fight lived up to its billing, delivering an instant classic that highlighted Flores’s aggressive style and her capacity to absorb punishment while delivering her own.
The victory not only solidified her status as a top‑tier competitor but also underscored MVP’s commitment to showcasing women’s boxing on a global stage. Irma "La Torbellino" Garcia brings a multifaceted background to the promotion. In addition to her boxing achievements—two‑time world champion status with a former WBA bantamweight title at 118 lb and the current IBF super‑flyweight championship—Garcia serves as an attorney, police officer, and member of the Secretariat of Citizen Security of Mexico City. Her most recent performance on the MVPW‑01 card saw her defend her IBF belt against top‑ranked challenger Emma Dolan.
Garcia knocked Dolan down twice before securing a third‑round technical knockout, a display of power and precision that left fans and pundits alike impressed. Speaking after her victory, Garcia expressed gratitude for the opportunity presented 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." Her words reflect a broader vision shared by MVP’s co‑founders, Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, who see these signings as pivotal in cementing MVP as the premier home for women’s boxing worldwide. The expanding MVP women’s division now boasts a blend of seasoned champions and rising stars. Evelin Bermúdez, a unified light‑flyweight champion, and Lourdes Juárez, the Mexican WBC light‑flyweight titleholder, bring championship pedigree from Latin America. Brittany Sims adds American depth as a top bantamweight contender, while Roxy (last name omitted) rounds out the roster as a promising prospect.
According to Paul and Bidarian, these athletes represent the "pillars of MVP," offering fans compelling matchups and elevating the sport’s profile across Argentina, Mexico, and the United States. 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 will feature multiple title fights and is expected to draw significant international attention, further showcasing the depth of talent within the organization.
