“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 how she felt when she won her titles:

“It’s something that’s hard to explain, but there is a lot of emotion. Lots of happiness and motivation for what’s to come in the future.”

On thanking her supporters and team:

On what’s next for her:

“First of all, I want to take a nice break and we’ll see what’s coming forth for me and it’s going to be important for me. I’ll let me promoter figure that out.”

On her fighting style:

“I’m a versatile fighter. I like to mix it up and fight at close distance and go toe to toe, but also box from the outside.”

On preparing to face Jasmine Artiga:

“I got this opportunity because of hard work and discipline. That’s the result.”

On making her US debut live on ESPN:

“It’s a dream come true, and what a way to do it. One of the best promoters at the moment, filled with many champions, so I had to show what I’m made out of and I did it. ”

On MVP planning to welcome Delgado back to the promotion for her next fight:

“Thank you for the space, and I have so much more to offer.”

On being an underdog:

“No matter where you are, dreams can become true.”

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

“We knew the work that we had to deliver. We did a great preparation. Of course him not being here meant a lot to me. I wanted him to be here, but I knew that I came here for a reason and we did it.”

“I started martial arts a long time ago when I was a kid. I had a hard life in Brazil, and I am a woman, and women have an obligation to protect themselves.”  

On her past viral video:

“Martial arts for me is important, and for women is important. I always say on my Instagram and on my social media that if you’re a woman, you need to protect yourself. I had the event with the Uber because I can beat the guy, and I know how to protect myself.”

“I’m a Brazilian woman, and I feel just so fucking happy! That’s it.”

MVP’s Oshae Jones is a USA Olympic bronze medalist and the current IBF super welterweight world champion at 154 pounds. Before turning pro, Toledo, Ohio-born Jones built one of the most distinguished amateur résumés in modern U.S. boxing history as a multiple-time USA Boxing national champion and a long-standing member of Team USA, consistently competing against—and defeating—the best amateurs in the world. Her amateur career culminated with winning a bronze medal at the 2020 Olympic Games, cementing her status as one of the premier international boxers of her generation. Her style blends sharp fundamentals with controlled aggression, allowing her to dictate fights and neutralize opponents’ strengths. The 28-year-old Jones currently holds the IBF world title and resides in Atlanta, Georgia. She was ranked #23 among ESPN’s best women’s boxers of 2025 following her tightly-contested world title defense against Elia Carranza in July 2025. Now, the pair face off in a rematch with Carranza as mandatory challenger. 

“As an Olympic medalist and current world champion, I’m beyond excited and truly honored for the opportunity to fight on ESPN and MVP, the biggest and best platform in women’s boxing,” said Oshae Jones. “This isn’t just another fight for me; it’s a moment to help elevate the sport, inspire the next generation, and create opportunities that will change countless lives. I’m proud to be part of something that is pushing women’s boxing to new heights and making history.”

Miami, Florida’s Elia Carranza is a professional boxer, business owner, and promoter, as well as a strong community leader. As the founder of Level Up Boxing & Fitness, she’s known for developing others in an environment built on discipline, skill, and character. With a sharp boxing IQ and relentless work ethic, she represents a new generation of leaders in and out of the ring. Balancing law enforcement with her boxing career, Carranza brings grit and composure to everything she does. She’s committed to mentoring others and using boxing to build confidence and purpose especially for young athletes while continuing to grow the sport and inspire others. She is the #1 IBF contender and mandatory challenger at 154lbs.

“I’m the best TRUE 154 pounder in the world,” said Elia Carranza. That’s MY weight class, and I’m going to prove it. I nearly won our first fight, and now I’m coming for her belt live on ESPN+ on Saturday, June 13.”

MVP’s reigning WBC featherweight world champion Tiara Brown holds a career built on an exceptional amateur pedigree, technical excellence, and championship-level discipline. Long before capturing world honors in the professional ranks, Brown established herself as one of the most accomplished amateurs in the United States. A highly-decorated amateur, Brown was a multiple-time US national champion, competing at the highest levels of USA Boxing and consistently defeating top-tier competition across the country, culminating with a gold medal at the 2012 amateur world championships. That foundation seamlessly translated into the pro ranks, where her experience, composure, and adaptability have set her apart on the world stage. Brown’s style is defined by speed, sharp fundamentals, and intelligent pressure. She is equally comfortable boxing off the back foot or engaging in high-paced exchanges, making her one of the most technically sound and versatile fighters in women’s boxing today. Representing Philadelphia, Pennsylvania’s proud boxing tradition, Brown defeated Skye Nicholson in March 2025 to claim the WBC featherweight title before successfully defending the belt against Emma Gongara in September 2025. She is currently ranked Boxrec’s #17 pound-for-pound female fighter and was ranked #16 among ESPN’s best women’s boxers of 2025.

“Saturday, June 13th, I’m going to show the world why I should never be overlooked and taken lightly,” said Tiara Brown. “I am The Dark Menace!”

Hannah Rapp was born and raised in Yorktown, Indiana, where she grew up as a multi-sport athlete competing in soccer, basketball, softball, cross country, and track & field. She went on to attend Purdue University, where she ran track as a walk-on for two years before being cut from the roster during the COVID-19 pandemic. Later that year, she entered treatment for an eating disorder. After completing treatment in 2021, Rapp walked into her first boxing gym and immediately fell in love with the sport. Rapp graduated from Purdue University with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental and Ecological Engineering and went on to build a boxing career, competing in eight amateur bouts before turning professional in April 2024. Early in her career, she relocated to Texas and captured the NABF featherweight title in just her fourth professional fight, working with Coach Carl Perry and manager Ryan Karl. Since first stepping into a boxing gym, Rapp has been driven by the goal of becoming a world champion. She remains focused on reaching her full potential, confident that her natural ability, strong support system, and passion for the sport will carry her to the highest level.

“This is the moment I’ve been dreaming of and preparing for since the first day I walked into a boxing gym almost five years ago,” said Hannah Rapp. “I am thrilled to finally have the opportunity to show the world who Hanarchy is. Tiara Brown is a worthy opponent, and I know she will bring out the best of my abilities.”

“MVPW-04 is another powerful statement from MVP as the definitive global powerhouse in women’s boxing, as we continue to showcase the deepest, most elite roster in the sport,” said Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, co-founders of Most Valuable Promotions. “With world-class champions Oshae Jones, Tiara Brown, Jasmine Artiga, and Evelin Bermudez defending their titles against top contenders and mandatory challengers live on ESPN+, this card embodies exactly what MVPW was built for: high-stakes, world championship matchups featuring the best fighting the best. This event also proudly shines an international spotlight on Brazil’s boxing scene, featuring the highly anticipated professional debut of Jully Poca and the return of two-time Olympian Keno Marley. We look forward to bringing another unforgettable night of MVP boxing back to Orlando alongside our valued longtime partners at Caribe Royale Resort on Saturday, June 13.”

“Caribe Royale is excited to bring MVPW and ESPN to Orlando!” said Amaury Piedra, Managing Director of Caribe Royale Resort and President of Boxlab Promotions. “This is another of MVP’s great title-laden cards featuring the best female fighters in the world! Caribe Royale always strives to bring the best in entertainment to Central Florida and this event once again delivers on that promise for both our guests and local residents alike. From the undercard to the main event this promises to be an unforgettable, action packed evening of boxing!”

WBA super flyweight world champion and Tampa, Florida’s first native-born world champion Jasmine “Animal” Artiga transitioned from playing gridiron in the Legends Football League to boxing at age 21, quickly carving out an impressive resume. After 13 unbeaten bouts, including a first round TKO win on MVP’s Most Valuable Prospects series in February 2024, she stormed into the spotlight on March?22,?2025, winning the vacant WBA female super flyweight title via majority decision over Mexico’s Regina Chávez. Artiga, Tampa’s first native world champion, was recently honored with a city proclamation from Mayor Jane Castor, honoring her athletic achievements and commitment to community mentorship. Standing 5?4? with a 64? reach, the 33-year-old Artiga continues to build momentum as one of women’s boxing’s hungriest new champions. She made her first successful world title defense with a TKO win on MVP Fight Night in August 2025, and defended her title again against challenger Stephanie Silva in December 2025.

“No talking, no glitz, no glamour,” said Jasmine Artiga. “Just no mercy. This is for my grandma. It’s time to take over.”

Evelin “La Princesita” Bermúdez is one of the most dominant figures in women’s boxing today. Born in Villa Gobernador Gálvez, she comes from a distinguished boxing lineage as the sister of former four-division world champion Daniela Bermúdez. Evelin currently holds the WBO, IBF, and WBA world titles at 108 pounds. Her rise to prominence was cemented in 2018, when she captured her first world title against Mexico’s Guadalupe Bautista. Since then, she has successfully defended her reign, solidifying her place among the pound-for-pound elite. She has headlined historic fights both in Argentina and abroad, becoming a key figure in the resurgence of women’s boxing in her country. Most recently, she delivered a statement performance, knocking out Canada’s Sara Bailey in just one round on the road, claiming her WBA title and becoming the unified world champion. Bermudez continues to build her legacy, proving that her nickname reflects not only her family heritage, but also the elegance and authority with which she rules her division on the global stage.

“I’m excited to have my next fight scheduled for Saturday, June 13 in Orlando. This will be the first defense of my WBO, IBF, and WBA titles—and, God willing, a key step toward becoming the undisputed champion,” said Evelin Bermudez. “I’m training as hard as I do for every fight, focused on pushing my limits. I’m sharpening my best weapons and adding new ones to keep my opponents guessing in the ring.”

A boxer since the age of 12, inspired by her older brother, Estefany Alegría Osorio always aimed to follow in his footsteps, eventually surpassing his accomplishments. She enjoyed a standout amateur career, becoming a two-time Mexican National Champion at the National Olympics in 2019 and 2020 before turning professional in 2021 with a victory. The Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico native remained undefeated for four years, scoring wins over top-level opponents such as Linda Contreras and Tania García, the latter earning her the WBA Latin minimumweight title. Her unbeaten run came to an unexpected halt in 2024 against Melanie Sarmiento, but she quickly avenged the loss just months later with a clear unanimous decision victory. In 2025, she showcased her elite level by defeating former WBC Silver world champion Ángela Nolasco in a dominant performance. She further solidified her status this past March in an all-out war against Danna Paola Alanís, capturing the WBC Silver world title and propelling herself to the top of the rankings across the major sanctioning bodies worldwide.

“I’m very happy and it’s a dream come true to be fighting for a world title,” said Estafany Alegria. “It’s been years of hard work and finally on Saturday, June 13 I will become world champion. There’s nothing stopping me. I’m in the best time of my career. Bermudez is a great champ but she’s not stopping me.”

Hailing from São Paulo, Brazil, Jully Poca is a powerhouse athlete who has dominated the crossover boxing scene with an undefeated record. Originally Brazil’s premier female fitness influencer, her life took a sharp turn in 2023 when she was invited to compete in the UK alongside megastar Whindersson Nunes. Despite only training for three months prior to her debut, she discovered a profound passion for the sport and has spent the last three years training exclusively as a full-time boxer. Under the tutelage of renowned coach Antonio Filho, the mentor behind former WBO champion Rose Volante, Poca has solidified her status by going undefeated to date and is now set to make her fully sanctioned professional debut with Most Valuable Promotions. Beyond her technical prowess, Jully possesses a magnetic public profile built on genuine courage. She first captured the Brazilian public’s heart when she intervened in a violent road-rage incident, physically subduing a man who was attacking two women until police arrived. This act of heroism, combined with her athletic transition, has earned her a massive digital footprint. With 3 million Instagram followers, Poca is set to become the most-followed female professional boxer in the world the moment she makes her pro debut, bridging the gap between social media stardom and elite combat sports.

“I can’t wait for my MVP and professional boxing debut! This has been such a wild ride so far and I feel like it’s just starting,” said Jully Poca. “I have been making some huge adjustments to my training camp and I am sure everyone will be shocked to see my new best version in action!”

Keno Marley is a 25-year-old 6’3” boxer born in Sapeaçu, Bahia, Brazil. He first began boxing at age 11 before moving to São Paulo alone to pursue his boxing training at age 13, joining the Brazilian national team to launch a standout amateur career. He first made a name for himself at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics in Buenos Aires, taking home the gold medal and becoming the first Brazilian boxer to achieve this feat. The next year, Marley earned silver at the 2019 Pan American championships. He earned a place on Brazil’s Olympic team, qualifying to compete in the men’s light heavyweight event at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and finishing as a quarter-finalist in a narrow 3-2 defeat to Britain’s Benjamin Whittaker, the eventual silver medalist. At the 2021 amateur world championships, Marley fought in the IBA cruiserweight division and earned the silver medal, before becoming the 2022 Brazilian national amateur champion. In 2023, Marley won the prestigious Strandja Tournament, the biggest championship on the European circuit, becoming the first Brazilian man to reach the final and win the title before winning silver at the 2023 Pan American Games. He continued his amateur sprint as he returned to represent Brazil again at the Paris 2024 Olympics in the men’s heavyweight division, once again reaching the quarter finals. Outside boxing, Marley faced two difficult losses in 2021, losing his older brother to murder and his cousin to suicide. He now actively serves as a third sergeant in the Brazilian Army, holds a university degree in physical education, and is currently completing a law degree. He trains out of the Brazilian Olympic Training Center and is co-managed by Brazil’s biggest influencer, multi-talented superstar Whindersson Nunes. He resides in São Paulo, Brazil. 

“After my pro debut, I was already waiting for MVP to call and give me the date. Now to have this one set, I’m ready to keep showing the world that I’m ready for the highest level,” said Keno Marley. “Everyone can expect a big performance from me and I will be looking for the KO from the first second of the fight.”

Gabriela “Sosa” Tellez is an undefeated rising prospect in the lightweight division, holding a 7-0 record with 3 knockouts. At just 19 years old, the orthodox fighter has already built a strong foundation with over 90 amateur bouts, showcasing maturity and ring IQ well beyond her years. Born in Vero Beach, Florida, and now fighting out of San Antonio, Texas, Tellez began boxing at the age of six and has quickly developed into one of the sport’s most promising young talents. Standing 5’3” and competing at 135 pounds, she is known for her sharp jab, her favorite punch, and disciplined style. Inspired by legends like Andre Ward and current pound-for-pound star Terence Crawford, Tellez has set ambitious goals to become the youngest women’s world champion, unify the division, and serve as an inspiration to the next generation of fighters. She is currently ranked WBA #3 contender in the world at 130lbs.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity to defend my WBA Continental Americas title, especially over 10 rounds, that’s a big step for me, but I’m confident in my ability to shine,” said Gabriela Tellez. “I’ve been working hard in the gym, staying focused, and improving every day. No matter who the opponent is, I’m coming in prepared and ready to give my best performance.”

WBA and WBO #12 ranked contender Jordan Orozco Hernandez will also join the undercard. He boasts a fearsome 100% KO ratio on his 16-0 record, with 16 knockouts. The 21-year-old Nicaraguan bantamweight most recently earned a second round TKO win over Daniel Olea in March.
