What awaits for women boxers signed by Jake Paul MVP promotions?

Published

on

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.

Mannix and Mora Support Fabio Wardley in Quest for Vengeance

"Mannix and Mora Support Fabio Wardley in Quest for Vengeance"

Fabio Wardley can turn his early success against Daniel Dubois into a rematch victory if he avoids exhausting himself chasing the finish. He proved he could hurt Dubois in their first fight. The harder task is keeping control when an opponent he has dropped continues coming forward.

Wardley scored two early knockdowns before Dubois recovered and stopped him. That leaves an opening for a different result, although better pacing alone may not be enough to prevent another punishing night.

Chris Mannix and Sergio Mora both back Wardley to win again on Saturday, with Mannix choosing him by stoppage. Mora believes Wardley’s eagerness to finish Dubois helped undo his promising start.

“If he just doesn’t punch himself out, he thinks about setting up that right hand, doesn’t get right hand happy,” Mora said to DAZN Boxing.

That is the adjustment Wardley needs to make under pressure. Once Dubois survived his biggest punches, Wardley needed something beyond another loaded right hand. Working behind his jab and putting punches together would give him more ways to attack without spending everything on a single finish.

Dubois deserves credit for surviving those knockdowns and returning to his jab. Mora believes his previous defeats helped him stay composed when Wardley hurt him. Wardley now has his own experience of a fight turning against him.

“I think he’ll be smarter after this fight. I think he’ll learn some lessons,” Mannix said. “I think Wardley wins by stoppage in this fight.”

Mannix’s biggest concern is what the first beating took out of Wardley. Learning the tactical lesson does not guarantee he will absorb Dubois’ punches the same way in the rematch.

Wardley’s power gives their picks a credible foundation. He has already put Dubois down twice. To complete the job, he needs to create another opening without allowing the pursuit of a knockout to leave him exhausted and exposed again.

Fabio Wardleys Team Advocates for Strict Foul Monitoring Against Daniel Dubois

Published

"Fabio Wardley's Team Advocates for Strict Foul Monitoring Against Daniel Dubois"

Fabio Wardley’s team wants tighter control of Daniel Dubois’ head-first attacks in Saturday’s rematch, with manager Michael Ofo calling for stronger officiating after their first fight.

The concern is about Wardley being able to punch without Dubois driving into him with his head. Those collisions can interrupt an attack, knock a fighter out of position, and make him hesitate before throwing again.

Dubois recovered from two knockdowns to stop Wardley in May and take the WBO heavyweight title. Ahead of their return at London’s O2 Arena, Ofo has accused the champion of leading with his head and using a tackle during that fight.

“We’re calling for a stronger referee, because it’s needed,” Ofo told Sky Sports Boxing.

Dubois’ trainer Don Charles rejected the criticism, describing the opposing camp’s complaints as “insecurity and weakness.”

Wardley’s camp has a reasonable case for asking the referee to watch those entries closely. When Dubois comes forward behind his punches, head contact can make it difficult for Wardley to plant his feet and counter. Intent is difficult to establish, but repeated collisions still need attention.

That becomes especially important if Wardley hurts Dubois again. He needs the opportunity to follow up without a foul interrupting his work and giving the champion time to recover.

However, Wardley cannot build his approach around the referee intervening. His jab has to give Dubois something to get past, and combinations would make him less predictable than loading up on individual power shots. Moving after punching could also reduce the opportunities for Dubois to drive into him.

Wardley showed he could hurt Dubois in the first fight. The harder task is turning those moments into a finish while avoiding another punishing battle at close range. Firmer officiating could help, but his own adjustments will have to do most of the work. Wardley cannot rely on the third man to solve that puzzle.

If Dubois is going to be stopped from barreling in head-first, Wardley has to make the physical cost of doing so intolerable, just like Oleksandr Usyk did.
