Caroline Dubois may finally have the chance to settle the lingering rivalry with Turkish world champion Elif Nur Turhan now that Turhan has officially signed with Most Valuable Promotions (MVP). The British lightweight star, who already holds contracts with MVP, had previously voiced disappointment after talks for a unification bout with Turhan fell through. With both athletes now under the same promotional umbrella – run by Jake Paul and co‑founder Nakisa Bidarian – the logistical hurdles that once blocked a showdown appear to have vanished, paving the way for a potentially historic matchup.
Dubois, an unbeaten champion who currently carries the WBC and WBO lightweight titles, is slated to defend her belts against American contender Amelia Moore. The fight will take place on the undercard of the highly anticipated Mikaela Mayer versus Chantelle Cameron clash, scheduled for August 29 at the bp pulse LIVE arena in Birmingham. The entire main card has been billed as a United Kingdom versus United States showdown, and the event will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

Elif Nur Turhan, also undefeated with a perfect 14‑fight record, captured the IBF lightweight world title after a dramatic stoppage of Brazil’s Beatriz Ferreira. She has since defended that crown with convincing victories over Gabriella Tellez and Taylah Gentzen, confirming her status as one of the sport’s most formidable punchers.
MVP co‑founder Nakisa Bidarian praised Turhan’s signing, calling her "the Golden Turkish Warrior" and highlighting her aggressive, pressure‑heavy style that makes her a thrilling addition to the women’s boxing landscape. "Elif Nur Turhan is an undefeated world champion, a tremendous puncher, and now the first Turkish fighter to join the MVP roster," Bidarian said in a press release.
"The Golden Turkish Warrior is one of the most exciting fighters in boxing given her immense punching power and her relentless aggressive, pressure‑heavy style. Signing Elif will allow us to make some of the most exciting fights in boxing. We look forward to welcoming Elif to MVP and giving her the platform to become one of the biggest stars in women's boxing as we continue building MVPW into the premier global home for the sport." The convergence of Dubois and Turhan under MVP’s banner has sparked speculation about when the two will finally meet inside the ring. Both fighters are in the prime of their careers, and a unification bout would not only settle personal scores but also crown an undisputed lightweight champion in the women’s division – a milestone that has eluded the sport for years.
With MVP’s resources and promotional muscle behind them, arranging a high‑profile bout in a major arena like the bp pulse LIVE seems increasingly feasible. In addition to the Dubois‑Turhan narrative, the event will feature several other notable storylines. Dubois recently announced a split from long‑time trainer Shane McGuigan ahead of her lightweight title defense against Moore, a move that has generated buzz about potential changes in her tactical approach.
Meanwhile, heavyweight stalwart Tyson Fury is set to face Mariusz Wach, aiming for a dominant seventh‑round technical knockout that could keep his path to a future clash with Anthony Joshua wide open. Other headlines include Joe Cordina’s legal battle, as the former world champion pleads not guilty to assault charges while also being denied a U.S.
visa for his scheduled bout with Abdullah Mason. In the heavyweight division, Anthony Joshua has reportedly added 7.6 pounds to his frame since his last fight with Jake Paul, a development that will be scrutinized ahead of his upcoming match against Kristian Prenga.
Joshua’s opponent, Oleksandr Usyk’s team, has publicly urged the British fighter to "show greatness" in the comeback bout. The promotional machine behind MVPW‑06 is also positioning the event as a showcase for women’s boxing talent.
In a separate interview, a promoter suggested that a potential fight between Dubois and Irish legend Katie Taylor could serve as a perfect "swansong" for Taylor, offering a high‑profile exit for the celebrated champion. While no official agreement has been reached, the notion underscores MVP’s ambition to craft marquee matchups that resonate globally. For viewers eager to catch the action, the entire card will be streamed live on Sky Sports on August 29, with options to subscribe to Sky Sports directly or access the fight through a no‑contract streaming service.
The promotion encourages fans to use Chrome for optimal video playback, ensuring a smooth viewing experience. In summary, the signing of Elif Nur Turhan by MVP marks a turning point in the lightweight women’s division.
With both Dubois and Turhan now sharing the same promotional home, the prospect of an eagerly anticipated unification bout becomes far more realistic. The upcoming MVPW‑06 event in Birmingham will not only feature Dubois’s title defense against Amelia Moore but also serve as a platform for a host of other compelling fights across weight classes. As the sport continues to grow, the alignment of top talent under a single promotional banner could usher in a new era of high‑stakes, globally broadcast boxing spectacles that captivate audiences on both sides of the Atlantic.
