Mayelli Flores, fresh from an electrifying bout that secured an undisputed championship against Ellie Scotney, has officially entered the roster of Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP). The signing comes alongside fellow Mexican champion Irma Garcia, who recently retained her IBF super‑flyweight belt by delivering a decisive knockout of Emma Dolan on the same event card. Both fighters are joining a growing stable that already includes unified light‑flyweight champion Evelin Bermúdez, WBC light‑flyweight titleholder Lourdes Juárez, and American bantamweight contender Brittany Sims. Flores hails from Mexico City and is a former WBA super‑bantamweight world champion.
Standing just under five feet tall (4'11"), she turned pro in 2014 and quickly earned a reputation for relentless pressure and a high‑volume punching style. Early in her career she challenged Yulihan Luna for a world title in a close contest, then captured the WBA 122‑pound crown in May of last year by edging Nazarena Romero via split decision in Kissimmee, Florida. Known for her durability, stamina and willingness to engage in the thick of the action, the 33‑year‑old Flores carries the nickname "La Torbellino" and fights with a deep sense of national pride.
Flores made her MVP debut on the inaugural MVPW‑01 card, where she faced Scotney in a double‑main‑event showdown for the undisputed world title. The encounter was hailed as an instant classic, showcasing Flores’s trademark aggression and technical skill. After the fight, she expressed enthusiasm for her new partnership, noting that MVP’s resources and global reach would help her continue climbing the ranks of the sport’s elite.
Irma Garcia, meanwhile, brings a unique blend of professional pursuits 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.
Garcia is a two‑time world champion: she previously claimed the WBA bantamweight title at 118 pounds and now holds the IBF super‑flyweight championship. On the MVPW‑01 card, she defended her belt against top‑ranked challenger Emma Dolan, delivering two knockdowns before securing a third‑round technical knockout. After the victory, Garcia praised MVP, saying, "I feel very happy for this great opportunity that Most Valuable Promotions has given us. Being part of their roster positions me among the best in the world, and with their support we will achieve 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 the new signings, stating that Evelin Bermúdez, Lourdes Juárez, Irma Garcia, Mayelli Flores, Brittany Sims, and rising star Roxy form the core pillars of the promotion. They emphasized that these athletes represent a mix of reigning champions, top‑ranked contenders, and next‑generation stars, solidifying MVP’s ambition to become the premier global home for women’s boxing.
By expanding its footprint in key markets such as Argentina, Mexico, and the United States, MVP aims to assemble elite talent while delivering the matchups fans crave. The promoters underscored their commitment to providing fighters with visibility, platforms, and opportunities that match their dedication. The next promotional debut on the schedule will feature Lourdes Juárez, who is slated to headline the quadruple‑championship main card at MVPW‑03 on Saturday, May 30. Beyond the individual signings, MVP’s broader vision involves cultivating a robust women’s boxing ecosystem.
This includes leveraging streaming partnerships—such as the contract‑free NOW platform—to bring fights to a wider audience, producing weekly podcasts like Toe2Toe for deeper insight, and curating highlight reels that showcase the sport’s most exciting moments. The promotion also encourages fans to use Chrome for an optimal video‑player experience, ensuring seamless access to live events and replays.
In summary, the addition of Mayelli Flores and Irma Garcia to Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions marks a significant step in the evolution of women’s boxing. Both fighters arrive with impressive resumes, championship pedigree, and a hunger to compete at the highest level.
Their presence, alongside other world champions and rising contenders, positions MVP as a dominant force poised to elevate the sport on a global scale, offering athletes the resources they need to thrive and fans the thrilling contests they desire.
