Mayelli Flores, fresh from an electrifying undisputed championship showdown with Ellie Scotney, has officially entered the roster of Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions (MVP). Sharing the spotlight, Irma Garcia—who recently secured a third‑round TKO over Emma Dolan to retain her IBF super‑flyweight belt on the same event—has also inked a deal with MVP. Both fighters 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 is a former WBA super‑bantamweight world champion. The 4‑foot‑11‑inch pugilist 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 out‑pointing Nazarena Romero via split decision in Kissimmee, Florida, to capture the WBA 122‑pound crown in May of the previous year. Known for her iron‑clad toughness, deep stamina and willingness to trade blows in the pocket, the 33‑year‑old fights with a fierce pride for her Mexican heritage and continues to climb the ranks of the sport’s elite. Flores made her MVP debut on the inaugural MVPW‑01 card, headlining a double main event against Ellie Scotney for the undisputed world title. The bout was hailed as an instant classic, showcasing Flores’ aggressive style and her ability to absorb punishment while delivering relentless offense.
Her performance cemented her status as a marquee attraction for MVP and set the stage for further high‑profile matchups. Irma "La Torbellino" Garcia brings a unique blend of talents to the ring.
Outside the ropes she works as an attorney, a police officer and a member of the Secretariat of Citizen Security in Mexico City. Inside the squared circle she is a two‑time world champion, having previously captured the WBA bantamweight title at 118 pounds and now defending the IBF super‑flyweight championship. Garcia’s most recent defense came against top‑ranked contender Emma Dolan on the MVPW‑01 card, where she knocked her opponent down twice before finishing her with 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.
Without a doubt, being part of their roster 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 addition of Flores and Garcia is part of a broader strategy announced by MVP co‑founders Nakisa Bidarian and Jake Paul. They described the new signings as "the pillars of MVP," highlighting that the group now includes reigning world champions, top‑ranked contenders and rising stars from Argentina, Mexico and the United States. By deepening investment in these key markets, MVP aims to create the matchups fans crave and elevate women’s boxing on a global stage.
The promoters also hinted at upcoming debut fights, beginning with Lourdes Juárez slated to appear on the quadruple‑championship main card of MVPW‑03 scheduled for Saturday, May 30. Beyond the individual achievements, the signings signal a shift in the boxing landscape.
MVP’s aggressive recruitment of elite female talent underscores a commitment to providing a platform that offers visibility, financial backing and promotional support previously lacking in the women’s division. For fighters like Flores and Garcia, the partnership promises access to larger audiences via streaming services, higher‑profile fight cards and the potential for unification bouts that could crown undisputed champions across multiple weight classes. In addition to the headline signings, MVP continues to expand its content offerings. Fans are encouraged to use the Chrome browser for an optimal video‑player experience, stream fights contract‑free via the NOW platform, and stay engaged with the weekly Toe2Toe podcast, which delivers insider analysis and interviews with top athletes.
The promotion also curates a collection of boxing highlights and videos to keep enthusiasts up‑to‑date on the sport’s most exciting moments. Overall, the integration of Mayelli Flores and Irma Garcia into Jake Paul’s MVP roster represents a significant milestone for both the athletes and the organization. With their proven track records, marketability and dedication to the sport, they are poised to become central figures in MVP’s ambitious plan to become the premier global home for women’s boxing, delivering compelling fights and fostering the next generation of champions.
