MOST VALUABLE PROMOTIONS ANNOUNCES BLOCKBUSTER SIGNINGS OF BRITAIN’S TOP FEMALE BOXING STARS, IBF WORLD CHAMPION SAVANNAH MARSHALL AND WBC INTERIM CHAMPION CHANTELLE CAMERON 

NEW YORK, NY – May 12, 2025 – In a groundbreaking move that cements Most Valuable Promotions’ (MVP) position as a powerhouse in global women’s boxing, the company welcomes two of the sport’s most accomplished champions, IBF and Ring Magazine super middleweight world champion at 168lbs Savannah “The Silent Assassin” Marshall (13-1, 10 KOs) and WBC interim world super lightweight champion at 140lbs Chantelle “Il Capo” Cameron (20-1, 8 KOs). Marshall and Cameron join MVP’s unified super bantamweight champion Ellie Scotney as the company continues to build the most dominant UK roster of female athletes. Both former undisputed champions, Marshall and Cameron join MVP at a pivotal moment for the sport, as MVP now boasts four of BoxRec and ESPN’s current top 10 pound-for-pound women’s fighters.

IBF and Ring Magazine super middleweight world champion Savannah “The Silent Assassin” Marshall (13-1, 10 KOs) is a two-weight world champion, formerly the undisputed super middleweight world champion in 2023 at 168lbs and WBO middleweight champion from 2020 to 2022 at 160lbs. Marshall began her boxing journey at age 12 before making history as Britain’s first-ever female amateur world champion at the AIBA Women’s World Boxing Championships in 2012, handing Claressa Shields the only defeat of her career on her way to the gold, sparking one of boxing’s most talked-about rivalries. Marshall went on to compete for Team Great Britain at the 2012 London Olympics before winning gold again at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow and returning to represent the UK at the 2016 Rio Olympics. Following her impressive amateur career, Marshall turned professional in 2017, making her debut against Sydney LeBlanc on the high-profile undercard of Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor in Las Vegas. In October 2020, she captured the WBO middleweight world title with a dominant TKO victory over Hannah Rankin, handing her fellow Brit the only stoppage defeat of her career. Marshall successfully defended her title three times, winning every bout with a knockout finish before at last meeting Claressa Shields in the ring in October 2022. The bout headlined the first-ever all-female boxing card in the United Kingdom, attracting a record-breaking audience of over two million viewers on Sky Sports, the largest live TV audience for a women’s sporting event in Sky Sports history. Despite a valiant effort, Marshall lost by decision to Shields. Following the bout, Marshall moved up to the super middleweight division at 168 lbs to face Franchón Crews-Dezurn in July 2023 and became the undisputed super middleweight world champion. In 2024, Marshall also made her MMA debut in the PFL, continuing to prove her combat sports dominance as she won by first round TKO. Marshall resides in Hartlepool, England and trains under renowned boxing coach Peter Fury.

“I’m delighted to say I’m now part of MVP – who, more than any other promoter, recognise the value that women bring to this sport,” said Savannah Marshall. “Through Jake and Nakisa, they also have a very unique, refreshing approach to the fight game. They think out of the box. They’re different. And boxing overall benefits from such trailblazers. It’s an exciting time to join their team alongside so many other accomplished female fighters. As a two-weight world champion and previously achieving Undisputed, it only feels natural to be here, and I cannot wait to begin fighting under their banner.”

Former undisputed super lightweight champion at 140lbs and current WBC interim world super lightweight champion Chantelle “Il Capo” Cameron (20-1, 8 KOs) is one of the most-recognized names in women’s boxing. Born in Northampton, UK, the 33-year-old began her combat sports career in kickboxing at the age of 10 and later muay thai at age 16 after being inspired by Buffy the Vampire Slayer and films featuring prominent movie star and martial artist Jean-Claude Van Damme. Throughout her amateur career she boasted an undefeated record with titles across kickboxing before taking up boxing at age 18, immediately showing her potential by winning silver at the 2010 EU Championships in Hungary and bronze at the 2011 EU Championships in Poland. Cameron made her professional debut in boxing in May 2017 with a sound defeat of Karina Kopinska, launching her meteoric rise in the sport. In just her fifth professional fight in December 2017, Cameron earned her first title honors, securing the then-vacant IBO lightweight world title by stoppage over Viviane Obenauf. In 2020, Cameron moved up to contend for the then-vacant WBC super lightweight world title, soundly dismantling Adriana Dos Santos Araujo by unanimous decision to become a two-division champion. Following a successful first defense, Cameron unified her titles against Mary McGee in October 2021, earning a unanimous decision win to add the IBF and Ring Magazine titles to her WBC super lightweight hardware. Just over a year later in November 2022, Cameron successfully defeated Jessica McCaskill to become the undisputed super lightweight champion at 140 lbs. Cameron’s undisputed reign came to head as she sparked her rivalry with Ireland’s Katie Taylor in May 2023 and the pair faced down on Taylor’s home soil in Dublin. Cameron came away with a majority decision victory, successfully defending her undisputed crown and setting the stage for the pair’s rematch in November, another hard-fought battle resulting in a majority decision for Taylor. Cameron returned to the ring in July 2024 with her sights still set on the super lightweight division, defeating Elhem Mekhaled to secure the WBC interim super lightweight title. Cameron most recently defended her title in November 2024 against Patricia Berghult, taking home another unanimous decision win. Cameron, currently ESPN’s #4 and Boxrec’s #8 pound-for–pound women’s boxer in the world, resides in Northampton, England and trains under Stephen Smith.

“I’m very excited about this move. MVP has been nothing but encouraging in talks regarding myself and female boxing,” said Chantelle Cameron. “This is a fantastic opportunity for the next stage of my career and an unbelievable platform to showcase my boxing ability. I’d like to thank Nakisa Bidarian, Jake Paul, and the whole MVP team for making this whole transition very easy for me.”

Most Valuable Promotions is expanding its commitment to women’s boxing in 2025 with the signings of champions Savannah Marshall and Chantelle Cameron, following its historic lifetime agreement with seven-division world champion Amanda Serrano, who will complete her career under the MVP banner before becoming Chairwoman of MVP’s women’s boxing initiatives.

Wildheart To Challenge Nicolson for WBC Interim World Title In Dublin On November 25

Chelmsford, England18 October 2023 – Former World title challenger Lucy Wildheart makes her long awaited return to the ring and it’s straight back into World title action when she challenges the WBC Interim World Featherweight Champion Skye Nicolson.

Wildheart (10-2, 4 KO’s) will face unbeaten Australian star Nicolson (8-0) on the undercard of Matchroom Boxing’s blockbuster show on Saturday 25th November at the 3Arena in Dublin, headlined by the rematch between Katie Taylor and Chantelle Cameron.

The 30-year-old from Växjö, Sweden, now based out of Chelmsford, Essex, is World rated #3 by the WBC and has been targeting a showdown with the newly crowed Champion Nicholson, who won the title by beating Sabrina Perez on points in Tijuana, Mexico, last month.

In April this year Wildheart accepted without hesitation a late minute call to face the American star Mikael Mayer for the Vacant WBC Interim World Lightweight Championship when Mayers’s original opponent Christina Linardatou was not cleared by the BBBofC.

At just 48 hours notice at the Copper Box Arena in London and two weight divisions above her natural featherweight class, Wildheart put on a valiant performance and extended the bigger and heavier punching Mayer the full ten round distance to only lose on the judges scorecards.

Trained by Samm Mullins at Churchill’s Gym in London, Wildheart is thrilled with her opportunity.  She said, “This is the moment I have waited patiently for all of my career, to be challenging for the world title in my weight division.”

“Thank you to Matchroom for the opportunity to fight on a major promotion and surrounded by other ladies’ who have already made history and continue to do so,”

“The atmosphere on the night is going to be surreal and I’m grateful to be part of this huge night to further grow women’s boxing even more.”

Wildheart’s manager Richard Maynard, CEO of Strike Sports Management, said, “Lucy has craved a fight with Skye for a very long time and I’m delighted to have concluded the deal swiftly with Matchroom to get her this opportunity.”

“It’s a magnificent stage for Lucy to showcase herself on a huge Matchroom show in Dublin, live on DAZN and on one of the biggest shows of the year on the Taylor-Cameron 2 card.”

“Skye is a quality fighter and we’re not underestimating her, it’s all there for Lucy to take she has the experience.”
