What awaits for women boxers signed by Jake Paul MVP promotions?
Published
12 months agoon
Jake Paul’s most valuable promotions have made a splash in women’s boxing in the last 60 days, signing one of the most talented fighters in sport. Shortly after the announcement that the fight in the trilogy of July 11 between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano will contain Undercard All-Women, MVP signed some of the great names in sport, including the unquestioned junior champion, Alycia Baumgardner, WBC Minist Titleweight Welterweight Super-Master Sermganhed Serdispeded Super Middlewight. Marshall and completing the Madison Square Garden card are fighting a few fascinating duels with five title fights.
The event will also be a streaming in Netflix and will put up many of these boxers to the largest audience ever competed. Not to mention that on June 28 she was the Bantam champion of UFC, Holly Holm, he would return to boxing for the first time in over 12 years at Undercard of Jake Paul’s Showdown with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. The 43-year-old Holm, who also signed a contract with MVP, hopes to add to her heritage through her heritage, and remains one of the most recognizable women in Combat.
Could we have potentially entering the period of MVP in the boxing of women, in which sport sees a raise in popularity similar to what WNBA experienced in 2024?
Although the names are critical, the duels are equally significant. ESPN looks closer to the announced duels and what the future can bring for each of the noisy signatories to MVP.
June 28: Holly Holm vs. Yolanda Vega – Lithe fight
Holm, a member of the International Gallery of Boxing Fame 2022, wants to do the last title before going to good. Little is known about her opponent in Vega, but if Holm can overcome his father’s time, he may be in a mixture of fighting with one of four delicate masters.
Terri Harper (WBO), Beatriz Ferreira (IBF), Stephanie Han (WBA) and Caroline Dubois (WBC) are the current owners of titles, with three of the four in action in the next two months. Harper will face Natalie Zimmerman on May 23, Ferreira puts his championship against Maria Ines Ferreyra on June 7, and Han will defend his title on July 12 against Bexcy Mateus. If Holm wins, he will probably be pushed over the ladder to face one of the masters in her next fight.
July 11: Savannah Marshall vs. Shadasia Green – Super Middle Wweight Union
What makes it really convincing is that the winner can be in a state of showdown with the former unquestioned champion of the super medium weight Claressa Shields, who on July 26 defends his unquestioned heavyweight title against Lani Daniels.
Shields, a five -member world champion, has history with both Marshall and Green. Marshall remains the only warrior who defeated Shields as an amateur or professional when she led her at the AIBA 2012 world championships. Shields avenged a loss with Marshall in the ranks of professionals, developing her in 2022 to win the unquestioned average weight championship. Green back from Shields in interviews for several years and with satisfaction accepted the fight with Green. If Green can upset Marshall, the fight between them may occur.
When it comes to the fight itself, Marshall and Green are probably the two largest punques in women’s boxing, with 21 breaks in 30 fights. Marshall is more technically sound and should be a favorite of the plants, but she has not been in boxing since 2023 and has been removed from the ESPN list for a pound-funt due to inactivity. In June last year it took place in mixed martial arts with the fight in PFL, while Green was recently in action with a disappointing divided decision over Melina Watpool about Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson Undercard.
July 11: Alycia Baumgardner vs. Jennifer Miranda – undisputed junior women’s championship
Baumgardner, an ESPN warrior for 8 pounds per pound, was got on a co-laina party at the arranged Taylor-Serrano 3, says a lot about what MVP sees the star in his potential. The undisputed Junior of the Lithe Master will be 31 before he enters the ring with Miranda and is extremely dense with her humorous style and Gab Gab. Although her opponent fought only in Spain against less opposition. Baumgardner is tested in the battle and has flourishing power in his right hand.
If she passes by Miranda, the options for her next fight are copious. She could stay in a delicate junior and defend her unquestioned status in a rematch with Delfine Persioon or move on to a delicate and start a journey to connect belts in another weight class. Or maybe Showdown with Holm can be on the horizon?
July 11: Ellie Scotney vs. Yamileth Mercado – Union Munior Feather in Libra
At the age of 27, Scotney is the youngest of the latest MVP signatories and has not yet been tested in the ring. Of the 10 wins of the English, her unanimous decision about Cherneka Johnson in 2023, to win the title of IBF Junior, is her most impressive. Scotney, who also has a WBO belt, has a vivid future and knocks on the ESPN list for a pound-funt, but must first reverse the challenge of Mercado, who won the impressive victory over Ramla Ali in June in June to defend her WBC title.
Scotney is a favorite (-900 for the ESPN plant), but it is expected to be tested against the experienced Mercado. Although they are at the same age, Mercado has 17 consecutive professional fights and was in the ring with Amanda Serrano in decision defeat in 2021. Scotney’s victory in her debut in the US will have one title that he will be the undisputed champion in 122 pounds and the fight with Mayella Flores Rosquero, who defeated Nazaren Romero, who will share on May 10, who will share on May 10, who It can be next, it can be next. Romero practices his rematch clause, which will probably push the undisputed fight with the winner Scotney-Mercado at the beginning of 2026.
July 11: Dina Thorslund vs. Shurretta Metcalf – Union of Bantamweight
The Thorslund-Metcalf fight is probably the most competitive fight based on Taylor-Serrano. The invincible Thorslund, 31-year-old, is a 10 pound warrler of women in ESPN pounds and is a world champion since 2018. Since her debut, Thorslund, WBC and WBO, the champion dominated in each of her 23 wins, rarely losing more than two rounds on the results card. The Danish warrior will try to win the title of IBF Metcalf to get closer to the unquestioning in Bantamweight.
Metcalf-which is also signed on MVP-it can be slightly older than Thorslund at the age of 40, but has been significantly improved in the ring since the start of a boxing career 2-3 before traveling 12-1-1 in the next seven years. Metcalf is a skimpy warrior who defeated Miyo Yoshida in October to get gold. If Thorslund defeated Metcalf, the next one could be the date with Johnson to determine the unquestioned weight champion. Johnson successfully defended the title of WBA in March thanks to the detention of Nina Hughes in the seventh round and won two fights in a row since the loss of Scotney’s decision in 2023.

Oleksandr Usyk said he “can’t run away” from the newly emerged title challenger: “I will bully him”
Published

April 27, 2026
Although Oleksandr Usyk presented his three-fight plan, a recent challenger entered the fight with hopes of taking a shot at the Ukrainian and winning the unified world heavyweight titles.
Next month’s meeting with Dutch kickboxer Rico Verhoeven kicks off what Usyk envisioned as a series of three hand-picked fights before his planned retirement in 2027, with his next dance partner being the winner of Fabio Wardley vs. Daniel Dubois.
However, the WBC is expected to demand that Usyk fight mandatory challenger Agit Kabayel in his next fight, and promoter Frank Warren believes he will be stripped of his belt if he fails to face the undefeated German.
Meanwhile, the WBA and IBF titles are not on the line against Verhoeven, which has fight fans wondering whether Usyk could soon be stripped of those belts as well.
Although if Usyk defends the WBA crown, Jarrell Miller will be waiting for him after him on Saturday evening he defeated Lenier Pero in the WBA eliminator final rise to title contention.
I’m talking to Fighting Hub TV after “Gigantic Baby” won, he told Usyk that there was nowhere to run or hide when fighting him.
“He’s a great fighter, man, but when you’re fighting a bully like me, there’s nowhere to run or hide. Usyk doesn’t really have crazy punching power, and he has trouble with guys who punch to the body and throw a lot of punches.”
This performance [against Pero] it was just a taste of what I could do. So the most essential thing is to go back and get the drawing board back. Let’s work and be ready for everyone.
I want Usyk to come back after the Rico fight and I can spank him.
If Usyk loses the WBA title, Miller could find himself in line for a title fight with current WBA Regular titleholder Murat Gassiew, who expected to be promoted to full champion. Although Moses Itauma would probably get the first shot at the proposed scrap with the Russian.

David Benavidez has no room for error in the fight against Ramirez

Benavidez enters Saturday’s fight with Gilberto Ramirez in a situation where even a tiny defeat may have a higher price than one defeat in history. Greater opportunities lie ahead, but those plans depend on beating Ramirez cleanly and leaving Las Vegas intact.
Benavidez will meet Ramirez on May 2 in Las Vegas in a fight for Ramirez’s WBA and WBO cruiserweight titles for $79.99. On paper, this is a bold move as Benavidez makes the jump from lightweight heavyweight to challenge an established titleholder who has already established himself in the division.
The pressure on Benavidez goes far beyond physical titles. For months, his name has been linked to huge opportunities at 175 pounds, most notably a clash with Dmitry Bivol. A loss to Ramirez would immediately derail those plans, forcing Benavidez into a rebuilding phase and delaying any significant career moves for the foreseeable future.
Winning in an ugly or narrow way can still invite skepticism. Benavidez is known for his constant pressure and high efficiency, and recently he has had a record of immaculate shots and has been forced to persevere in hard moments. Facing naturally larger opponents makes these defensive mistakes much more steep in the long run.
Ramirez may lack elite strength, but he has the experience and durability of a seasoned cruiserweight. He also enters the ring with much less weight on his shoulders than the challenger. All the pressure to perform rests entirely on Benavidez.
Therefore, the risk for Benavidez is much higher than for the man holding the belts. A victory will ensure that his path to mass fights remains clear, while any other result could immediately ruin his momentum and force him to spend time fighting Ramirez again. Getting stuck twice in the Ramirez fight would be a nightmare for Benavidez.

Jarrell Miller Targets Long-Awaited Heavyweight Fight After Pero Victory: ‘Let’s Do It’
Published

April 27, 2026
Jarrell Miller defeated Lenier Pero this weekend at Las Vega to fulfill his world champion dreams, although he may first want to end a long-running feud beyond the title picture
The controversial American heavyweight fighter defeated Olympian Pero over the distancelanding an incredible number of punches en route to a clear unanimous decision victory.
Although winning the final elimination puts him close to a chance to fight champion Oleksandr Usyk, after the fight Miller saw the appeal of an all-American fight with Deontay Wilder.
I’m talking to Fighting Hub TV“Substantial Baby” called for the fight to continue.
“I think if the fans call him out enough, they’ll want to make this fight happen. Everyone says Deontay will beat me, knock me out – there’s only one way to find out. He’s been knocked out multiple times, I haven’t. Let’s make this fight happen. We’re two of the top American heavyweights. We can both get people tuned in. Me and my brilliant speech, him and his weird, dramatic speeches and entrances… I think it would be fun.”
With Miller unlikely to be on Usyk’s radar as the Ukrainian only has a narrow number of fights remaining before he retires, Wilder presents an opportunity to settle a dispute – including claims related to weighty sparring and personal grievances – that has been brewing for years.
Wilder revitalized his career earlier this year with a hard-fought victory over Derek Chisora and will likely miss the opportunity to fight Anthony Joshua as the Briton focuses on a warm-up fight for his fight with Tyson Fury.
