Brown and Jones Set for World Title Defenses on June 13 on MVP Card

Tiara Brown and Oshae Jones are slated to defend their world championship belts on June 13 at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, Florida, in a high‑profile event promoted by Most Valuable Promotions (MVP). The evening will feature a stacked lineup of female talent across several weight divisions, with each bout positioned as a pivotal moment in the fighters' careers. In the featherweight division, WBC champion Tiara Brown will step into the ring against challenger Hannah Rapp. Brown, who previously secured a notable victory over Skye Nicolson, has been touted as a potential future opponent for Britain’s rising star Ellie Scotney.

Speaking before the fight, Brown emphasized her determination to prove her worth on the global stage, stating, "I’m going to show the world why I should never be overlooked and taken lightly." Her confidence reflects a broader narrative in women's boxing: the push for greater recognition and respect for elite athletes. The co‑main event pits IBF super‑welterweight champion Oshae Jones against Elia Carranza in a rematch.

Jones, an Olympic bronze medalist, earned her belt after a split‑decision win over Carranza last year. The two fighters will meet again to settle the score, with Jones promising that the bout is more than just another contest. She explained, "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." Also featured on the MVP card is WBA super‑flyweight champion Jasmine "Animal" Artiga from Tampa, Florida. Artiga will defend her title for the third time against mandatory challenger Nataly Delgado, who holds a 20‑7‑2 record with five stoppages. Artiga praised Delgado’s skill and perseverance, noting, "Nataly Delgado has perfected her craft and has earned being a mandatory challenger.

The world will see two top females in their weight class contest their skills, strength, power, and will." The main card will close with a bout that marks the promotional debut of Argentina’s unified light‑flyweight champion Evelin Bermudez. Bermudez, who simultaneously holds the WBO, WBA, and IBF titles, will face Mexico’s IBF No.

1 contender Estefany Alegria. This matchup not only showcases Bermudez’s dominance across three major sanctioning bodies but also highlights the growing depth of talent in the lighter weight classes of women’s boxing. Beyond the headline fights, the undercard offers a blend of seasoned veterans and rising prospects. Brazilian influencer‑boxer Jully Poca, recognized as the most‑followed active female boxer on social media, will make her professional debut.

Poca will meet Monica Medina in a four‑round, super‑lightweight bout (140 lb) and has framed the contest as a narrative closure, saying, "She asked for a rematch, I said let’s do it. Some stories need to have a definite ending, that’s what I’m coming to do.

I’m excited to make my debut in Orlando and hope to see the local Brazilian community come out to support on Saturday, June 13!" The undercard also includes a bout featuring two‑time Brazilian Olympian Keno Marley, who will square off against Boxlab Promotions’ undefeated prospect Gabriela Tellez, as well as a fight between Jordan Orozco Hernandez and another rising contender. These matches serve to underline MVP’s commitment to showcasing international talent and providing a platform for athletes from diverse backgrounds.

Co‑founders Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian described the event as a "powerful statement" from MVP, positioning the promotion as a global powerhouse in women’s boxing. They highlighted the card’s emphasis on high‑stakes world championship matchups and its role in shining a spotlight on Brazil’s burgeoning boxing scene.

"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. "This card embodies exactly what MVPW was built for: high‑stakes, world championship matchups featuring the best fighting the best.
