Most Valuable Promotions has announced a “multiyear deal with ESPN,” which will host its newly created MVPW “global platform for women’s boxing” through 2028.
Things kick off on April 5th with a previously announced lightweight unification between Caroline Dubois (12-0-1, 5 KO) and Terri Harper (16-2-2, 6 KO). Elif Nur Turhan made a strong case for being the division’s top dog last year, but it’ll be hard to argue that whoever wins here isn’t in at least second place. In other title action, Ellie
Scotney (11-0, 0 KO) meets Mayelli Flores (13-1-1, 4 KO) for the undisputed super bantamweight title and Chantelle Cameron (21-1, 8 KO) jumpts from 140 to 154 to face Michaela Kotaskova (11-0-4, 2 KO) in a vacant WBO title fight.
Less than two weeks later, Alycia Baumgardner (17-1, 7 KO) defends her super featherweight titles against Bo Mi Re Shin (19-3-3, 10 KO). Per ESPN, the show will also see Shadasia Green (16-1, 11 KO) defend her super middleweight titles against Lani Daniels (11-4-1, 1 KO), who fell to Claressa Shields in a heavyweight title fight last year and subsequently lost her light heavyweight belt to Germany’s Sarah Scheurich.
Additionally, Stephanie Han (12-0, 3 KO) will rematch Holly Holm (34-3-3, 9 KO) on May 30th in El Paso. Han took a wide technical decision when the pair met in January, though how merited the stoppage was remained a point of contention.
