MIKE LEANARDI QUOTES:
On MVPW-04:
“MVPW-04…sold out crowd from the Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida. Four world title fights, a couple of big upsets, and lots and lots of action. I hope everyone enjoyed the show. It’s our first W show in here in Orlando and in Florida.”
On selling out MVPW-04:
“We sold out. It’s a testament to the tremendous women’s product that MVP is putting on.”
OSHAE JONES QUOTES:
On her feelings about her draw vs. Elia Carranza:
“It’s really frustrating and discouraging. I worked so hard this fight to change my style and make it more clearer for the win, and it’s just unfortunate that the judges didn’t see it.”
On whether she’d face Elia Carranza in a trilogy bout:
“I want to move on. I don’t want to continue fighting her. I feel like I keep giving her the opportunity to be on TV and take my belts. When she fights me, these are the biggest fights she’s ever had, so I feel like she needs to be grateful that I’m even giving her the opportunity. I wouldn’t recommend another fighter.”
On the biggest difference between her two bouts with Elia Carranza:
“I feel like the biggest difference was me. I was 100% physically and mentally. The first fight, I had a couple of things, like personal things, that I had to overcome, and I feel like my training was great. I was in a three-month camp.”
On the difference in Elia Carranza’s fighting style compared to their first bout:
“I felt like she was kind of reserved this time. She was more cautious this time, and it was more of a back-and-forth chess match, unlike last time. It was like a brawl.”
On doing a longer camp than usual:
“I usually do camp for six to eight weeks, but this camp I did for three months because it was a big platform and I didn’t want to make any mistakes.”
On her preparation for the bout:
“We did everything we were supposed to do to get the win. I worked so hard. I meditated this camp. I was just so focused this camp. It was just different.”
On her promotional debut with MVP:
“It was amazing to be with MVP for my pro debut. I feel like I did great. I feel like I performed the best I ever have yet in my pro career.”
On fighting on ESPN:
“It was so exciting to be on ESPN+, one of the biggest platforms for sports, period. I’m so honored to be here and to be a part of MVP because they’re really changing women’s lives.”
TIARA BROWN QUOTES:
On who she’ll fight next:
“I want big names. Whatever opportunity arises for me, whatever my team says, whatever this guy [Mike Leanardi] right here says, and the WBC. I will defend this belt.”
On her plans for the future:
“I would like to fight for more belts in the featherweight division. I think I’ve proven tonight that I’m here and that I’m not going anywhere.”
On wanting to become undisputed at 126 lbs:
“I do want to chase greatness and fight for the other belts, and once I get them, I would like to move up, once I’m done at 126, and move up to 130 lbs.”
On her dedication to boxing:
“I was born to box. I eat, sleep, dream, and think about boxing 365 days a year. I don’t take a break. I think I’ll take a break once I retire, so until then I’m chasing greatness.”
On her conditioning:
“My conditioning is really good. I believe in preparation, and I believe if you stay ready, you never have to get ready.”
On how she trains:
“I always train like I’m the underdog. Every time. I don’t overlook anyone. I don’t care if the opponent has one fight. I train as if she’s the best fighter on the planet.”
On her promotional debut with MVP:
“I’m just so blessed and highly favored to be a part of this promotion. Jake Paul…hats off to him. He’s done something that all of these promoters for over a decade have said cannot be done. They said no one watches women’s boxing, that there’s no fan base and no money there. Then a YouTuber came along and said, ‘I believe in them. I’m going to give them a chance.’ And that’s exactly what he’s done. I’m so grateful that he’s believed in me and allowed me to be a part of this promotion company.”
On dedicating this fight to a former student:
“A lot of you know that this fight was in honor of my fighter that I trained, Landen, who took his life on Valentine’s Day. I stayed focused round by round, and I just kept saying his name in my mind. I just kept saying Landen. It was making me want to dig deeper and give all that I have.”
On thanking her supporters:
“This was my first time in my professional career fighting in Florida. I’m from Ft Myers, which is about three hours away from here. I’m so grateful for all the fans, friends, and family that came and drove up here to watch me fight.”

On being an underdog:

On her husband, who trains her, not being able to attend the fight:

On representing Brazil:
“I’m a Brazilian woman, and I feel just so fucking happy! That’s it.”
On Keno Marley’s first-round TKO over Jordan Gruszewski:
